2003-11-30 Thread SigmaKernel
Hi all,

I would like to know if there is a way to hav "Formatted reference" as
default in the Cross Reference dialog window. I use only use formatter
cross references a lot and I do not really click the combo box each time I
want to add a new reference. 


Docbook bibliographies from BibTeX?

2003-11-30 Thread Matej Cepl
Hi,

does anybody have any idea how to make LyX (1.3.2 if it matters) 
working with BibTeX while editing DocBook articles? I would love 
to use DocBook (heavy communication with RTF-based people), but 
missing support for my already huge BibTeX database would be 
showstopper.

Thanks a lot,

Matej

Re: bibtex error: (author?) - here too

2003-11-30 Thread Katrin Pietzsch
This is the dvi output. (author?) comes from ->input ->cite, where i
chose one of my bibtex references. Normally there should be (Tanenbaum,
2003), which I've chosen in the dialog window of the cite.
i have the same problem, but so far i didn't bother to solve the 
problem - assuming that i didn't choose the right settings so far. i'd 
also be interested in a solution to this.

regards,
Katrin

I would probably do something like doing whatever makes
\paperpagestyle fancy
appear in the .lyx file, and in the preamble do something like,

\lhead{}
\chead{}
\rhead{\thepage}
\lfoot{}
\cfoot{}
\rfoot{}
\let\oldmaketitle=\maketitle
\def\maketitle{\oldmaketitle\thispagestyle{fancy}}

The last two lines make it appear on the title page too.

(How I'd make it appear on one side on odd pages and the other on even,
I'm not sure. (-:)

Centering Section headers in LyX-1.3.2

2003-11-30 Thread Jim Osborn
Is there a way to center my Section headers in LyX 1.3.2?
The Layout->Paragraph gives a "centered" Alignment, but it seems to
have no effect, at least in an Article doc class.

I also tried using a custom layout, as I had done in LyX 1.1.5, with:

Style Section
  MarginDynamic
  LatexType Command
  LatexName section
  ...
  Align Center

but this too has no effect.  I thought this might be a FAQ, but
a quick search didn't find anything recent, pertaining to 1.3.

TIA,

Jim


\textsection automatin inclusion

2003-11-30 Thread Andrea
hi there.

I have a problem that shows up in tex to docbook and openoffice sxw 
conversion.
When exporting to latex from lyx, the § character (unicode 167 or 0xA7) 
is not converted to \textsection and this gives me some trouble in 
exporting to UFT-8 XML format (needed for openoffice sxw).

No problem when compiling with latex, obviously.
Anyway I noticed that when in Lyx I insert the character ~ (tilde) and 
export to latex I get \textasciitilde{}

Is it possible to configure lyx to do something similar for §?
(I tried with .cdef and .kmap without result).
Any idea?
Is that a problem of the convertert (the great tex4ht)? Sorry if I ask 
something possibly stupid but I'm lost with text encoding:-(

Thanks in advance.
Andrea



Table-float footnote and float placement

2003-11-30 Thread Nirmal Govind
Hi.. I have a footnote within a table in a float. I used the method 
specified on Herbert's tips page to include the footnote within the 
table. I have the placement of the table float set to default 
placement. However, with this setting, the footnote appears on the 
page that preceeds the table (and the table appears at the top of 
the page that follows the footnote)... the problem goes away if I 
change the float's placement to "here definitely".. is this a LaTeX 
shortcoming or is there some way to get the default placement 
setting to work with the footnote showing up on the correct page?

Thanks,
nirmal
