I had a working installation of LyX under FreeBSD, but at some point fairly recently (I'm not sure the exact circumstances), my LyX installation can't produce PDF files anymore because (almost) all document classes are marked unavailable. Googling has been no help - the common recommendations of r

multiple paragraphs in a table cell

2014-07-14 Thread Will Parsons
I have a table in which I wish some cells to contain multiple paragraphs. I can apparently create separate paragraphs by the normal method of hitting Enter, at least as far as it appears within LyX, but when I attempt to export to PDF I get a series of errors beginning with: Paragraph ended bef

In a document I'm writing, I would like to print the date of the last edit in the title page. I've discovered [Insert => Date], which looks like it might be what I want (does it update when I save the document again?), but the format is "07/16/14", which is a common format for North America (which

defective rendering of table in PDF

A document that I'm writing contains a table that gets improperly rendered when converted to PDF, i.e., some of the cell border lines are incomplete - they do not extend to the full width of the cell. The method of conversion to PDF doesn't seem to matter, so I assume the problem occurs at the LyX/

I'm writing a user manual for a program that I've written in which I want to describe keyboard key usage. What I've been doing is using square brackets, e.g. "[Enter]" to designate the keys, but would ideally like to use something like having the word "Enter" in a box (or something similar). I re
