Thank you very much for your help! I've now experimented with the setting you recommended. True, if I activate numbering, then the anchoring works. However, I then have numbers in the text, which I want to avoid. With the setting you suggested, it would read, "Chapter X, [chapter title]", whereas I ...

Thanks for the quick reply!

I've attached a bare-bones LyX example. Just generate a PDF, and click on "Part 1". It will take you to "Introduction".

I find this fairly odd since a PDF produced with the standard pdf output function works perfectly fine. With XeTex, however, this doesn't ...

Hi,

thanks for your reply. I have just tried it but XeTeX converts those characters to smart quotes in the PDF output. Is there another way around?

I am using LyX and XeTeX. I do like the fact that quotes get automatically converted to smart quotes. There is only one problem:

Sometimes the conversion takes place when it shouldn't such as in height measurements like: 6'2''. How do I get LyX/XeTeX to keep the prime and inch mark (which is just a ...

Thanks for your reply! I needed more time to get familiar with the titlesec package.

I have solved this problem:
..but a new one cropped up. See the next thread.

Again, thanks for your help!
