Bug in figure caption with math characters
Hello, I wanted to check if this simple error could be reproduced by other people in lyx-1.1.5-fix1 : *Open a new document *Insert a figure float *Insert a figure in the figure float *As figure caption, put the mathematical symbol of a vector, i.e. the chacracter "v" with an arrow on top. Now choose "view dvi" and an error occurs. This did not happen in previous version I used (1.1.4 I think). Do I have to wait for the lyx web site to be up again to report this bug ?

Also, it does not detect duplicate key value... It is much better to build a bibtex database than enter the bibliography inside LyX. If you don't know the bibtex file format, you can use a GUI bibliography managers like gbib, pyliographer, tkbibtex or barracuda.

In the CVS version, the citation dialog was completely rewritten, and it is now very easy to add/change several citations inside a single citation inset.

in the floating figure or table environment the captionstyle works
not with special commands (e.g.math-symbols). Choose one of the
following possibilities to shun an error:
1.
write \protect before your latex command (e.g.:
\protect\overrightarrow{arrow})
2. define an own caption in the latex preamble
\newcommand\myCaption[1]{\small\refstepcounter{figure}%
\centering\figurename\ \thefigure :\ #1}
in the float (!) choose paragraphstyle standard instead of
captionstyle and write
\myCaption{...the captiontext ...}
myCaption is only needful for captions with special math-symbols
or special commands. counting of figure is continuing.
3. work with a trick:
run from lyx dvi-view once without your special mathsymbol or command.
the dvi-output than works and every dvi-update too, you can ignore the
latex-error when you insert now your
math-symbol.
> This did not happen in previous version I used (1.1.4 I think).
lyx ignored the error.

This is done automatically in my lyx : I write my vector v using the math
panel (which generates an \overrightarrow in the tex code), and when I
look at the tex code, it already has the \protect statement. But still, it
doesn't work (i.e. an error occurs).
But thanks for the dvi trick, this works fine. I still see the error, but
the output changes.

you don't need it!
for 10pt and 11pt documentwide font size choose \huge
for 12pt \LARGE
than they are always 20.74pt.
another way:
in Latex preamble
\newfont{\myFont}{cmr10 at 20pt}
and begin your title with \myFont\textbf{ ...your title... }
in chapter-style mode, or section, whatever you want.
you can also choose cmss1. it's the sansserif font and looks
better in titles.

than there can be no error? can you send a short example-file? if you
like.

lyx inserts the \protect in the wrong way, not before the command,
just before the whole inline math-command.
however, if you do following steps, all works
(only for math in captions):
opne math box,
write all the muthstuff you need until an special mathsymbol
write \protect and do a space. the backslash is not seen!
write your mathsymbol

M-d space gives you access to the Document menu, but it's not easy for multiple cuts/paste between two specific documents for example.

Yes, but, one doesn't get [1,2], but rather [1][2].
Likewise, one gets [1][2][3] instead of [1-3].

do you use package{cite}?
I'm using package{natbib}, so the actual citations are formatted
differently, but the content is the same.

that's only for the bibtex-style! try \usepackage{cite} in
latex preamble and your citations look well.
