2008-05-17 Thread Alexis Huxley
I'm writing a document which references bug reports in Debian. The official format of a Debian bug report number is '#99'. In order to make these numbers even more clearly Debian bug report numbers, in my document, I'm prefixing them whe 'BTS', so now they look like 'BTS#99'. I would pref

Hi, I'm using Subversion to embed various info about released versions of a document I've written inside the document itself. The .lyx format being text, this works *almost* fine. For example I have a note in the document containing: $LastChangedRevision: 2791 $ and this is correctly upd

Hi, this isn't a LyX-specific question, but as a LyX user, and seeing how well LyX is orientated to specific document classes, I figured the people here would understand the question or be able to refer me to others places to ask ... I am looking for some descriptions of how certain document types

2004-11-12 Thread Alexis Huxley
Hi, I've got a LyX document which I convert to LaTeX and then convert to HTML using latex2html. The result is fine except for that the tables are cropped to just the top row! Actually it's slightly more complicated: the last cell of each row contains what it should *plus* what should be in the fi

Hi, first, I'm using the 'book' class. This offers me a formatting style called 'Comment'. But I also have, from the 'Edit' menu, something called 'Note'. Neither of them produce any output in the printout. Clearly something like this is very useful for text like "I must remember to fix this bit!"

Hi, I'm using a 21" screen and a 14" laptop for LyX. I keep having to change the font zoom from the Edit/Preferences/Screen-Fonts menu when I go from one monitor to the other. Is there a way to specify a per-$DISPLAY value here? If there is an X resource for it then I can xrdb merge it; or I can
