I'm enclosing a new version of templatex/revtex.lyx. Comments welcome. If
noone comments, I'll just check it in in a couple of days. (ooh! a threat!)
Unfortunately, it looks like revtex 4, which was due to come out in july
'98, won't be here in time for lyx 1.0.

Re our discussions of a few weeks ago: I decided that rather than putting

Hi LyXers,
Resize the height of the dialog "Insert Reference": The new text

is also resized... It should of course be bound to the south of the

Btw, many dialogs have resize problems, as most of the

Could an owner of Scientific Word post exported LaTeX of whatever templates

Hi,
maybe not for 1.0, but I got a request concerning the user-defined
fontstyle. Could it be possible to have an option in lyxrc to predefine
that style, or even store it with the document?
