how write any character (greek, unit, ...) in text mode inside a formula
Hello, I use LyX-1.2.0cvs and I would like to know how can I write any greek character in text mode ? And what must I do for writing any character like unit (m, kg, ..) in text mode inside a formula ? For example, I have to write the following sentence : "0,4 um < l < 0,8 um", where u is mu, l is lambda and m is for meter. The problem is that u, m and l are in math mode and so they are displayed and printed in italics ... Thanks in advance and best regards, Pierrick.

Multiple bibliographies in a single doc
I would like to make a bibliography wich would be divided in multiple
parts and wich would cite all the things in my .bib files.
The problem is that only the first bibliography is created. In the second
part, i have the good bibliography title but the first bibliography is
repeted, and nowhere i can see the references from the second bib file.
What shall i do to have the second bibliography too?
Here how my lyx file looks like:
# \nocite{*}
# \renewcommand\refname{Bibliographie}
# *** Here the box who calls the biblio Bibliographie
# \nocite{*}
# \renewcommand\refname{Archives}
# *** Here the box who calls the biblio Archives
[lyx-1.1.6fix4 on debian woody]
Here the same message in french:
Je voudrais faire une bibliographie divisée en plusieurs parties, qui
donne les références de tous les ouvrages de mes fichiers de
bibliographie.
L'ennui c'est que seule la première bibliographie est créée, et elle est
répétée dans la deuxième partie (qui a bien le titre que je lui demande).
Comment faire pour que la deuxième biblio ne soit pas une répétition de la
première?
Voilà à quoi ressemble le fichier lyx:
# \nocite{*}
# \renewcommand\refname{Bibliographie}
# *** Ici la boîte qui appelle la biblio Bibliographie
# \nocite{*}
# \renewcommand\refname{Archives}
# *** Ici la boîte qui appelle la biblio Archives

I don't know if I understand well.
You can insert more than one bibfile into
Insert->Lists&TOC->Insert Bibfile->Data
devide them by a comma.

Use bibtopic.

But when i do so, the multiple bibliographies (bib1, bib2, bib3) are put
together in a single one (bibA), with an unique title ("Références"). What
i want is :* Title for the complete Bibliographie
* (sub)Title of bib1
* bib1
* (sub)Title of bib2
* bib2
* (sub)Title of bib3
* bib3
i'll try bibtopic like Dekel Tsur recommends.

custom_export_command format
In lyxrc there's a section for Export with this example: #\custom_export_command "ps2pdf '$$FName' `basename '$$FName' .ps_tmp`.pdf" I want to make a pdf file, and having epstopdf on my system, I've been printing to ps, then doing: epstopdf --filter xxx.pdf Following the lyxrc example, I tried making the custom command as: \custom_export_command "epstopdf -f -o=`basename '$$FName'`.pdf" and several other variations on that form, but no pdf file results. I do get a .ps_tmp file and a very small .ps_tmp.pdf file in /tmp/lyx_tmp.../lyx_buf... but I was hoping for a pdf file in my working directory. Since I don't have ".ps_tmp" in my custom_export definition, I guess the suffix must be wired in somewhere. Can someone translate that example? I'm assuming "`basename '$$FName'`" means "xxx" in my little example above, but since I get no output, I'm probably assuming wrong. FWIW, I'm using lyx1.1.5. TIA, Jim
Crash when viewing a file
Hello! This is a bug report for lyx 1.1.6fix4 built from source with gcc 2.95.3 on a recently installed machine (used slack for install). The xforms library is 0.89, and all the demo programs run well. The problem occurs when i go to the View menu and try to view the current document as anything (pdf, ps, dvi); it crashes with sigsegv. I tried with any documents: one-letter only, the lyx documentation, and some small one-line + eps ones, all without success. If i go to /tmp i can see the files generated correctly; everything looks like the problem happens when the converter finish running. This behaviour is completely reproductible. The top of the backtrace follows; i have the rest but it didn't seem relevant. Please tell me if you need anything, or want to try something.

Display formula in Description environment
Hi, I would like to nest display formulas in the description environment. I want the output to look like: Jumpsx = x + 1 where "Jumps" is the description label and "x = x + 1" is the (centered) display formula. The problem is, I can't get the display formula to be centered. The formula is always left-justified. For example, if I enter the description environment, type the word "Jumps", click "Insert... Display Formula", the formula box is left-justified instead of centered. thanks Melissa

\mathbf{}
Hi,
Is there a way by which I can get a \mathbf{x} to appear as it does in the
final document (that is, bold x) in the LyX window itself? i.e., just like
\alpha shows up as the symbol alpha in the LyX window, can \mathbf{x} show
up as bold-x somehow?
Thanks,
nirmal

I think you can either type '\mathbfb' or 'b' to get a bold 'b'
on screen that gets written to LaTeX as '\mathbf{b}'

Thanks.. the latter does it.. the former does appear in the

The standard LaTeX command \mbox{} should do this for you..
so within a formula, if you type \mbox{text} (all in red, since you
should be in TeX mode), the text will appear as normal text and not
italicized text...

changing the default Date format
How do I change the default format of the Date? Right now it says "15th
April 2002" but say I want it to be "April 15, 2002" instead? I know I can
do it manually with \date{} but how do I change the default so that it
looks like this when I just say \today for instance..
Thanks,
