Yo, i've noticed with indexing that PDF exports show the page numbers in the index and HTML exports show section numbers. Is there a way to get PDF exports to use the section number in the index, or to show both section # and page number? Not a big deal, just curious. Some pages in my docs hav

proposal for bug fix vis-a-vis index entries

@lyx developers, i'd look at doing this fix myself, but i'm on a dialup line, paying for each minute online, and the lyx tarball is 5M+. For the Qt interface, it seems it would be trivial to fix the Index Item entry dialog to automatically escape any illegal characters, like "_". QString::rep

2004-08-12 Thread Catherine Heyrendt
Someone suggested that I did "select all" and set all the characters to "French". This works but misses the point: I have a large number of quotations in English, and if I set them as French, the punctuation goes wrong (ie it adds spaces before colons and semi-colons and similar things). What

This is probably more of a latex question: In the article class, the figure captions seem to be centered. The Layout->Paragraph->General->Alignment tab seems not to make any difference. I would very much like the figure captions to be left and right justified (while the figure stays centered - t
