Hi,
I downloaded the new LyX 1.6 and was testing my files and found a very
peculiar bug! Operating system is Vista home premium.
My Thesis template, which I custom made, is a book class with open right
option (new chapters begin on odd numbered pages that are on the right
side). I want the automatically created blank page to be completely
blank, therefore I have used the following in my preamble:
\makeatletter
[EMAIL PROTECTED] \ifodd [EMAIL PROTECTED]
\hbox{}
\vspace*{\fill}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\newpage
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\makeatother
This has worked beautifully in LyX 1.5.6. However, after switching to
1.6 I am getting a long list of errors that are not that helpful.
Through process of elimination, I have found the cause. If you have a
figure with subfigures in it, it will not work with the above code.
Remove one of them and the document compiles without errors! These two
items (subfigures and blank clear double pages) cannot co-exist in 1.6.
PLEASE HELP.
If this cannot be resolved, I will downgrade to 1.5.6 (don't know about
1.5.7 yet).
Regards,
Hazim
PS:
- I really like Lyx and I think that it is a great software alternative
for Word without forcing you onto the cumbersome raw Latex editors. Your
work is really appreciated.
- Feature request: Can you please officially support the includeonly
command in Latex (to compile only part of a book or a thesis) through a
graphical user interface that works!
