Citing a web source

2003-08-26 Thread Mariano Draghi
Hi,

This is more Bibtex-related than LyX-related, but I'd like to know if 
there's some "de facto" standard for citing web sources... I believe 
there's no "@link" or "@web" or something similar tag supported by Bibtex, 
so I'd like to know what's the "expected" way, if there's any. Just to be 
standard.

Thanks for your help!

change position of sub-caption

2003-08-26 Thread Jeannette Meyer
Hi list,

Is it possible to have the sub-caption (i.e. the caption of the subfigure, 
like (a), (b) etc.) on the right side of the image instead below it?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Jeannette

Have a look at the TUG recommendations:

Since so many seem confused by these things, forgive me for an off-
topic post.  It's very, very unlikely any of these things are being
distributed by this list server.

The recent worm/virus emails all forge their return address, using
addresses randomly found on the victim's computer.  So, if you get
a virus "sent from" the LyX list, it's because it was a forgery.
It simply means that the victim had once upon a time received mail
from the list, or was Cc'd, etc., as well as mail from you.  

To determine the actual sender (or at least their network) you need
to examine the email's Received: headers, and look up the owner of
the IP address in the topmost line. 

Some of us have been getting hundreds of these emails a day,
apparently from all over the world.  But when you examine those
IP numbers, it quickly becomes apparent that it's really only a
relative handful of computers doing the sending.

Hope that helps,

Jim

ArabTeX bug is now resolved (was Re: Eureka! This is why Arabic support for lyx 1.3.2 doesn't work in my Mandrake 9.1)

2003-08-26 Thread Munzir Taha
Regarding this bug http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1225

I received this from Mr. Lagally, the author of ArabTex: "Up to version 3.11
ArabTeX required a blank space before any control sequence within Arabic or
Hebrew input text; this, as I was informed, led to problems in context of
LyX.
The new version 3.11, presently at CTAN, and
ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/arabtex/ no more has this
restriction."

Please check to see whether there is anything wrong.

I do not know about any @url, but natbib supports url as key, so you can
make it @unpublished and add url to the key.

Mathematical symbols not showing up in lyx-1.3.1 under RH 9

2003-08-26 Thread Christopher C. Weis
My problem is very similar to the following problem...

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lyx-users&m=102747712133982&w=2

except that I'm running RH9 with lyx-1.3.1-1_qt.  I've tried the binary 
from the web site as well as the rebuilding from the source RPM.

Attached is a pic of what I'm seeing.

From reading the list and general intuition, I'd say it's a problem 
with the font server and/or font path.

I'm by no means a Lyx expert, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
