Well, I think another argument towards getting an ncurses based LyX working, 
is that just about all the effort which would go into this would also be 
important if LyX were to be ported to a PDA environment.  Obviously, if 
porting to something like the Palm Pilot, different libraries would need to be 
linked in, but the basic logic of how to get things working in "console" mode 
would be essentially the same, no?

Though, with things like the iPaq/Itsy coming out and capable of running a 
full fledged Linux system with X in 32MBs of RAM, kind of makes this a
moot point :)

Have you ever run X with 32Mbs of RAM ? :-) It is not fun at all.

Brian Capouch ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) entered the 
following feedback message on the LyX home page:


I am a pretty-much \"do it myself\" type of person, but I am at my wit\'s end 
trying to figure out how to export my document (Lyx 1.1.5) as HTML.  I 
choose File->Export->HTML and it asks me if I want to overwrite the existing
\".lyx\" file.  If I choose Y, nothing happens.  If I choose \"N\" then nothing
happens, but I get teased by seeing .html in the dialog box
at the bottom of the screen, but the file really isn\'t there when I look
in the directory.

The documentation hasn\'t been much help on this either.  Sorta frustrating.

Ayup, I'm running X with FVWM on a 486 DX2-100 in 16MB of RAM at home.  Works 
just fine actually. 

The iPaq has quite a stripped down/cleaned up version X, which is supposed to 
run pretty well in 32MB.   I've seen/played with prototypes of the Itsy 
(predecessor to the iPaq) and it was not only running X, but it was running 
Emacs as well.  To my surprise, it worked really well.

Rumor has it that Jim Gettys has been down to Cambridge talking to Miguel de 
Icaza about getting Helix-Code Gnome working on the iPaq as well.

Things are looking quite good in the handheld world indeed :)

Make sure you have latex2html installed.

If you have try first to do a :
File->Export->Tex

footnotes & figures at the end of a MS

2000-08-22 Thread Frederic Leymarie

Folks

How to have all my footnotes listed after the main text
and before the references ?

Also, how to have all my figures, after the references ?

And, finally, how to have the figure captions listed (with the
associated figure numbers) separately, after or before the figures ?


This is for submitting a paper to British Archaeopress, which
has very specific requirements.

Thanks

I am not sure, but shouldn't it be in ~/.lyx/templates ?

How do I get out of a table...

2000-08-22 Thread root

How do I switch back to standard text after a table if the table is at
the end of the document? I have tried everything, but nothing reasonably
simple seems to work.

put the cursor in the lower right corner of the table (last cell)
and hit enter, than you'll get a new textline outside the table
