newbie question toolbar configuration

Hi there, I just installed LyX 1.3.4 on my SuSe 9.0 machine. Basically, everything seems to work fine. However, from the "Development News for 20030504" on the LyX.org site I gather that there should be some way to configure the toolbar(s). How is this done? And how do I get the new icons t

Re: A newbie question - how can I make an index in lyx

You are right Mr. Dekel. But now I reached to a good conclusion. To summarize, using perl to manipulate the text is useless and very very risky. because it will replace even the header of the file, e.g. if I want to index the word LyX it will change the very first line of the file: "#LyX 1.3 cre
