floats are not possible in multicol environment, only widefloats.
the attached example-files show, how you can insert figures
with captions
\myFigure{1.0}{Pisa.eps}{Der schiefe Turm von PISA}
the first option (1.0) is a factor of picturewidth in relation
to columnwidth. 0.5 makes the image half as columnwidth.
the second is the path and name for the image.
the third option is the caption.
this are not real floats, so you have to pay attention for right
placing, which is in two-column mode not very difficult.

FW: Help with Bibliography.
-Original Message- From: Zailong Bian To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: 8/30/00 1:35 PM Subject: Help with Bibliography. I am using the latest lyx to write a report. I am using Koma-script report. Everything seems great from beginning and now I am getting close to finish the report...But I found there is big problem with bibliography! The number showing in the grey box at beginning of each bib item is NOT the same as the one in the key field when I click on it. This happened after I inserted some bib items and moved some others around! The numbers in grey box are ordered from 1 to ..., but the key fields of them are not! And the citation in the text doesn't change with the grey box but stay with the old key numbers. Now they seem totally messed up. I tried to change the key field to make it the same as showing in grey box, but after inserting some bib items, it got screwed again! And almost the all the references in the text are wrong. What can I do to fix it? I have left all the label field blank. I didn't think it is any useful... Thanks!

Re: Document versions
Let me transfer a discussion from lyx-docs. I think, that it may be
much more interesting here.

I would like to give an info about ndiff (from Python 1.5.2 distribution
-- see attached). Does it make any sense to you (IMJAL - I am just a

In my experience fromatting is not so important as a content
(actually, I am glad, checking differences in formatting is now
optional in Word).

Much better IMHO than making diffs on two files is some kind of
mechanism, which records revisions while they are made. Actually, I
almost never use "Compare versions" feauture in Word (I am sorry
for talking so much about Word -- I really prefer LyX and real
programms to toys, honestly!), or I am using it only when necessary
(= our client is stupid and I haven't been successfull in explaining
what are the revisions about).
I know that it is much more work for LyX programmers (than just
throwing something in diff), but I am afraid that diff is The Bad
Thing for everything other than computer programs and silmilar
stuff.
Any comments?

Print a human-friendly file difference report to stdout. Both inter-
and intra-line differences are noted. In the second form, recreate file1
(-r1) or file2 (-r2) on stdout, from an ndiff report on stdin.
In the first form, if -q ("quiet") is not specified, the first two lines
of output are
-: file1
+: file2
Each remaining line begins with a two-letter code:
"- "line unique to file1
"+ "line unique to file2
" "line common to both files
"? "line not present in either input file
Lines beginning with "? " attempt to guide the eye to intraline
differences, and were not present in either input file. These lines can
be confusing if the source files contain tab characters.
The first file can be recovered by retaining only lines that begin with
" " or "- ", and deleting those 2-character prefixes; use ndiff with -r1.
The second file can be recovered similarly, but by retaining only " "
and "+ " lines; use ndiff with -r2; or, on Unix, the second file can be
recovered by piping the output through
sed -n '/^[+ ] /s/^..//p'

Followup: Bibliography problems.
I am using the newest lyx. I use koma-script report class. The bibliography sesms having some problems. For example: The 7th bib item has key value 8. And where I refer to it in text, it appears as [8] in lyx. But when I print it, it prints out [7] in the paper. So, it seems that I can get around the problem by always refering to the key value, not the number showing in the grey box at beginning of each bib item. At least it is correct on printed copy. But the problem is: one single key valye can show up twice in different bib items! That happened so it is really a problem! Anyone has a fix? Thanks!!

dislplay of enumerations.
Hello,
I have a request for a more neat solution, for producing enumerated
lists
of arbitrary type
Lyx is able to display standard enumerations at the top level as
\begin{enumerate}[(a)]
\item
\item
...
\end{enumerate}
However, if I \usepackage{enumerate}
and try this:
\begin{enumerate}[(i)]
\item
\item
...
\end{enumerate}
strange things happen with reLyx:ed code, i.e. neither reLyX nor LyX
can as far as I know handle this issue by default.
ReLyX adds the enumeration tag [(i)] to the visible text and
switches the enumerations to
1.
2.
instead of
(i)
(ii)
The only way I have succeeded in producing enumarated list of the type, i,ii,iii,...
is by forcing the plain LaTeX code into the text, and by deleting the code produced by
ReLyX.
Does anybody have a more decent solution?
Best,
Staffan
