The best way is to change the outer theme Warsaw is based upon, i.e. split. Have a look here for an example: http://groups.google.de/group/de.comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/9b852091a7e221fb/a1315c3f4e837600#a1315c3f4e837600 HTH, Jürgen > uwe

Lyx server and Jabref on windows
Hello, I have Lyx 1.4.3-5 (Windows) and Jabref 2.2b. Trying to push a citation from jabref gives me an error to verify that Lyx is ruuning and that the lyxpipe is valid C:\Documents and Settings\Graham\lyx\ In lyx I have added the path C:\Documents and Settings\Graham\lyx\.lyxpipe in the lyx preferences and reconfigured and restarted lyx. As I understand the documentation this should create an lyxpipe.in file, but no file is created. I have tried several different path options, eg creating the full file name etc, but cannot get it to work. Can anyone suggest what I should be doing. Many thanks Graham

Re: Lyx server and Jabref on windows
Hi, I had the same problem on a Mac. See http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/Mac#toc10 for useful hints. They are meant for Mac, but might be applicable for Windows, too. A likely source of error are blanks in the path name. For example, "C:\Documents and Settings\..." might not be a good option. Did you try a new path with no blanks?

Did you try > a new path with no blanks? Thanks, I had found that link and tried to follow the advice there. I also tried a path without spaces, but it didn't help. The other paths, in both lyx and Jabref have spaces, so I suspect that isn't the problem. Thanks again. -- -- Regards, Graham mailto:graham.smith@...

You cannot use this feature on windows, since the pipe is implemented using UNIX specific functions that are not available on windows. Georg

Many thanks, this has caused me a lot of frustration trying to get it to work. So the explanation is gratefully received. -- -- Regards, Graham mailto:graham.smith@...

Unfortunately, that exacerbates the second disadvantage, unless, perhaps, someone else already has something which is very close to what we need? I wrote some documentations with LyX and are currently working on the documentation of LyX. From my experience I say that a well prepared template document solves the problems you mentioned. If you give me more informations about the layout you need I can surely help you to create such a template or also a special Lyx layout file. LyX's Extended-Insets manual: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/DocumentationDevelopment#Extended-Insets is an example of the style and format I usually use for documentations. This format can easily be adopted for other aplications. > I'll address the specifics of the format we're looking for in a separate e-mail. Where is it? regards Uwe(Continue reading)

Re: Special case of enumerate
This question about numbering seems to be one of the most frequently asked questions on the list and there was no wiki page devoted to it, so I started one: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Numbering It's kind of pathetic at present, but please expand and add links. There is a lot of information about numbering on the wiki but it's not consolidated. Maria On 12/20/06, Paul Smith <phhs80@...> wrote: > On 12/19/06, Paul A.

Good thinking! If there are many different pages that concern numbering, it is a good idea to place a tag (e.g. add [[!Numbering]]) on each of those pages. The result of [[!Numbering]] will be a link to a so called "category page", which will list all pages containing that tag. /Christian PS. Please note the '!' between '[[' and 'Numbering'. That's what makes this a tag in addition to being a link. -- -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
