Thanks Jean-Marc,
It worked!!!!
Both of the preceding alternatives brought back my navigation. In the first
one, Format 2 was unnecessary -- I could toggle correct navigation strictly
with Input numerport.inc. Interestingly, once I got navigation working right,
even when I removed numreport.inc instead of giving no navigation, it gave
this sort of single level navigation where all chapters and sections were
grouped at a single level. I guess there's an intermediate file that needs to
be built before you can see *any* navigation.
The Input book.layout alternative, alone, seemed to work just like Format
2;Input stdclass.inc;Input numreport.inc alternative.
What does Format 2 do?
It tells which version of the layout-file language this layout file
conforms to. Before 1.4 there were no such specification.
1.4 brought new options, the .layout files aren't entirely
compatible, so "Format 2" is used to tell that it uses the new syntax.
Obviously, there are more options in the new format.
You can have layout files that aren't format 2 - that is nice
if you sometimes use lyx 1.3 too. They can then use the same
layout files, with all the limitations of the old format.
I believe that when LyX 1.4 uses an old layout file, it does an
implicit conversion to format 2 each time.
If you include other layout files (.layout or .inc) from the
lyx-1.4 distributions, then you really should use "format 2"
because all that stuff is in format 2. I don't know if mixing
layout formats might have some bad side effects. Using format 2
also avoid that conversion.
What is numreport.inc?
My file says:
# This include file contains label definitions for a report-like numbering.
That is, it defines how numbering of sections, chapters and so on
should work inside LyX. I guess the "TocLevel" statements defines
how navigation will work - i.e. things with same TocLevel is
grouped, and things with a higher level goes deeper in the menus.
Is there any way of having my table of contents go down only to the chapter
level, but have navigation go all the way down to subparagraphs? I seem to
remember that was possible in earlier LyX versions.
This I don't know. The document settings has a place where you
set what will show in the ToC and what will be numbered. These
two settings are independent. I don't know if Navigation ties to one of
them.
