Jabref saves -> .bib but Lyx loads -> .bst?

Hello guys,

I have migrated to to Lyx 2.3 on a different computer than the one I originally wrote my document on.
I had a .bib file generated with Jabref and I simply copied this file over to the new computer.

Adding caption to the right of figures

Hi guys,

I'm trying to make some figure captions appear on the right hand side of the figures so I don't have to modify my text all the time. I have installed the sidecap module and added the package in the pre-ample.

Re: Longtable numbered caption error

Thanks Johannes. Indeed that was the problem.
My suggestion to anyone that reads this post is to set the document language (under the Document--> Settings) to the preferred language. Otherwise the spell checker might go as crazy as in my case.
Finally, at least in this example, the \\ is not needed ...

Longtable numbered caption error

Dear all,

I'm trying to insert a numbered caption to a longtable as follows:
1) Create an empty first line in my table
2) Right click on the empty line --> Settings --> Caption on
3) Insert the caption text followed by an ERT with \\

Unfortunately, I get a 'Mispalced\noalign. Emergency stop' error ...

Thanks.
I was able to sort the problem. Now my preamble is minimal and tidy (for the time being) :)

Re: Cross referencing Tables/Figures in Lyx fails in pdf

Thanks a lot Johannes!
I'm pretty sure I can sort this after following your comments.
Just realised that exporting the code allows for a much deeper understanding of what's going on really :D

Sorry not too familiar with all these yet.
Here is the .tex file too, if that's more of a help.

Re: Cross referencing Tables/Figures in Lyx fails in pdf

Hi Johannes,

I have tried putting the label both in and after the caption. The problem however persists.
After creating a minimal version of my document (kept only hyperref, pslatex and nonfloat in preamble) I realised that removing the modules

My problem is that, after exporting my document to pdf, the click-able links to the figures/tables don't quite match the location of the figure/table! Instead, they seem to match more a section/subsection having the same numbering with ...
