Re: Newbie needs help in basic table formatting

Hi,

welcome to the forum!

With \multicolumn, you just forgot to put the third argument in curly braces too:

\multicolumn{2}{l}{...text...}

Also, you can use a p column here instead of l.

To adjust captions, I would highly recommend using the caption package. Here in your example ...

Re: Spam in Private Messages

Hi,

it's good that you have another email address. Seeing that Yandex is Russian and that country is running a war in Europe and is internationally sanctioned for this, I don't start connecting with it. I hope you can understand that.

Re: single smart quotes

Hi,

use the \textquote* command:

Code: Select all

Re: text from body getting dragged into a footnote

That may happen if the footnote contains too much text for the available space, or there are unusual commands on the page, such as \enlargethispage or \vspace tweaks. Hard to say without seeing it.

Perhaps you can find a warning in the logfile for that position?

I would not add a manual page break ...

Re: Announcing TyX - A LyX-like experience rewritten for Typst and the modern era

Hi Noam,

I see that Typst is like combining easier syntax (markdown-like) with a LaTeX-like quality of output with a smaller codebase, and so easier to install and web-friendly. Putting it into the backend omits the syntax/learning benefits while it keeps some limitations compared to full LaTeX ...

Hi Noam,

welcome to the forum!

Most of our users work with LaTeX, some with LyX, and we are happy to support LyX users as well, especially when it involves ERT.

Hi,

welcome to the forum!

I'm glad you got these books. I wrote them, and I'm happy when I hear that people read the books. I hope you liked them! Would you please be so kind to post a review for each on Amazon? (even if you got them in another bookstore). Reviews help me find readers and convince ...
