I'm using these kind of floats to include pieces of highlighted source code, so I guess text could be perfectly splitted. Then a float is not what you need. Floats float around, precisely because they need to stay in one piece. (table, picture, ...) If your algorithm can be split, then it don't need a float. Write your algorithm, just don't insert a float and you'll be fine. If you want nice formatting for your algorithm, consider "Insert->Program Listing" Listings are nice for computer code and similiar stuff. You can specify fonts, you can have syntax highlighting, you can have automatic line numbering if you like. Just right-click the listing box, and you'll see all the options. You can type listings into your document, but a listing may also get its content from (parts of) an external file. (Insert->File->child document, set the type to "listing") This makes it possible to list parts of actual source code. That way, the working code and the document is always in sync - because the same file is used for both. No need to fix the document after fixing a bug. :-) Helge Hafting
Re: multi page Algorithm Floats ?
True. It seems that Floats, by definition, cannot be split into two pages.
Given that I don't need a real float for inserting my example code snippets,
I found a better solution than manual separation of content.
I'm now using an environment that mimics an algorithm float:
\newcounter{code}
\newenvironment{CodeEnv}[1] {
\stepcounter{code}
\vspace{1ex} \hrule \vspace{1ex}
\textbf{Example \thecode }
\vspace{1ex} \hrule \vspace{1ex}
#1
\vspace{1ex} \hrule
}
Then, you can do add things like this at any part of your document:
\begin{CodeEnv} MyCodeExample \end{CodeEnv}
Note that MyCodeExample can be a verbatim area, a "listing" code , or
similar stuff. In my case I'm inserting an ExternalProgramListing as
explained here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/IncludeExternalProgramListing,
and it works great!.
I only miss captions

multi page Algorithm Floats ?
Hi all, I wonder if there is any way of allowing Algorithm Float boxes to start in the middle of one page, and end in the next one. I'm using these kind of floats to include pieces of highlighted source code, so I guess text could be perfectly splitted. Thanks! Jaime
