How to make a unique cover (first page)
Hi all, I joined the mail list just now and send the question. I am writing my Master dissertation, and choose lyx because it is great. Have a question: How can I make a unique cover page? For example, I have to make it according to the specification our college demmanded. The formats available in the lyx are not enough to make it... such as some text have to be aligned to bottom and write my name. And the margin is different to the contents inside the paper. Also, maybe there is no space for binding at the first page, as well as the page number... Maybe this is a stupid question, but I'd so appreciated if anyone can help me. Thank you very much. Leon
how to insert a label of a figure?
Hi, It looks like a stupid question, actually I can do it in 1.3.5. but the 1.3.6 seems to have some problem... I just insert a float, and then insert the grphic, and then input the caption. Having placed the cursor at the beginning of the title, that just behind the famous 'figure #', or, put the cursor at the end of the title of the figure. Then I tried to insert a label. But the default content of it is 'cap:', but it should be 'fig:', isn't it??? Well, I type in 'fig:xxx' by hand. and I insert the cross reference somewhere in the documents. Now here is the problem, when I output into print version (DVI of PDF), the reference doesn't work! It displays as '??' where it should be the number of the figure. Does anyone have the same problem or just me? in the user guide, there is some inserted figure reference, which works well. but I just can not insert it by myself. :( Really need some help. Thank you in advance. Leon
Re: how to insert a label of a figure?
Hi all, I have solve this problem by restart the lyx application... Then the number shown in the Yap goes well. Thank you for your attention However I still can not get a default 'fig:' content of the label, which is 'cap:' now... So everytime I have to change it manually?

How can I add unnumbered chapter into the automatic table of content?
Hi, The TOC automatically generated by lyx is very helpful. But it will not include the unnumbered chapter, or section. I used BOOK class in my thesis, but there is no such 'abstract', 'acknowledgements' 'appendix' 'user guide' formats in it. So I use unnumbered chapter (Chapter* ) to title these sections. It works fine, but the shortcoming is that they will not appear in the TOC, the same situation happens in Bibliography. Any comments for this? Maybe I can hand in thesis just with the TOC without those sections, but I just want to be perfect. Thank you for your attention. Leon
Re: How can I add unnumbered chapter into the automatic table of content?
Thank you, and I have figured out how to do it.
Just add ERT in the content page, with
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract} .
In fact it can be found at http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Unsorted
One thing, should we use the {} instead of () ? I have tested and ()
will not work
Cheers

Re: How can I add unnumbered chapter into the automatic table of content?
Sorry, should be:
Just add ERT in the THE PAGE YOU PLACED UNNUMBERED CHAPTER, with
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract} .
not the content page.

quotes in the lyx
Hi I am confused with the quotes on the keyboard. where type the double quotes, like this: " " They are both the 'right-quote' in my output. I am not sure about the symbol usage in English, is it the right form of a mistake? However in the user guide,I saw some example text is right with this pair. The left-quote in lyx is slightly leanes to left while the right quote is just vertical. Are they different symols which need different key to input? or the lyx will fix them automatically? I hope I expressed myself correctly... Thank you for your time. -- Leon Chen, Imperial College, London MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: quotes in the lyx
Hi Roy, Thank you for your advice, and I checked the setting, finding everything is just like you said, in double quote mode. I did some tests, and find out the cause of my trouble: if the " follows a character tightly, i.e. no space, it is a right-quote automatically. So if i want to get a left-quote, i have to type the " symbol at the beginning of the line or, after a space in side the paragraph. So I think problem solved, thank you very much. :) -- Leon Chen, Imperial College, London MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: quotes in the lyx
Hi. Sorry for bothering, although the double quotes problem was solved, the single quote ' still has the problem... they are all right single quota... Anyone has any comments? -- Leon Chen, Imperial College, London MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Question
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXWinTips Check the 'Improved PDF viewing' Note you don't get the pdf through 'export', choose 'view' and then pdflatex. Certainly after you set the lyx configuration according the webpage above. :) because lyx doesn't set it self.

About the binding margin in double side mode, class book
Hi, all, I want to have my paper double side printed, with an adequate binding margin on the left hand. side. I used the book class for my document, and then set it to two-sided document. However, it is funny that the output for the page have more margin on the right side instead of left side. But i want to bind it on the left! For example, open the userguide in help of lyx, this is the same output of double-sided document. On the TOC page, which should be have more left margin for binding, while it is not. I can understand why lyx put more margin on right side, not left. So they bind the book on the right?! I am really confused, need some advice. Thank you. -- Leon Chen, Imperial College, London MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How to insert a blank page?
Very short question, how to insert a blank page in lyx? I want to show the abstract and acknowledgements in separated page, nothing on the back of them. Then the TOC start the entire paper with the binding margin at left side. I search the google but no result.. Many thanks. -- Leon Chen, Imperial College, London MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: How to insert a blank page?
Thank you Roy :). your trick works And I made a search, find some better to achieve this problem: \cleardoublepage: *** \cleardoublepage The \cleardoublepage command ends the current page and causes all figures and tables that have so far appeared in the input to be printed. In a two-sided printing style, it also makes the next page a right-hand (odd-numbered) page, producing a blank page if necessary. *** It can automatically make sure next textd-page is start on an odd-numbered page. Which is just I want, however, there some thing stupid in it: it still put page number on the automatically inserted blank page. There is some discussion on it, and it is treated as some bug. at http://www.latex-project.org/cgi-bin/ltxbugs2html?pr=latex/2342&; As for me, I think will still use your method to do it since the bug in the clearcoublepage...

possible bug? about the abstract env. in the report class
In two side print mode, odd and even pages are set different position due to the extra space of binding-margin. However, the abstract env. in report class always assumes that the binding position is at right side of the page. I have tried to put in odd and even page, they are exactly the same. is it normal or a bug? -- Leon Chen, Imperial College, London MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How create PDF bookmarks?
I have tried
---
In the LaTeX preamble write: \usepackage[bookmarks]{hyperref}
If you want the bookmarks numbered, load hyperref with the option:
"bookmarksnumbered=true"
If you want all bookmarks opened, load it with the option "bookmarksopen=true"
Here an example:
\usepackage[bookmarks, bookmarksopen=true,
bookmarksnumbered=true]{hyperref}

suggested on the wiki, also i search the archive, where the same suggestion.
but when i add them into the preamble, lots of errors appear during
the output, which will not happen if i clear the preamble
Anyone has the same problem?
