LyX ⇒ 2 issues following the tutorial

[gaugeGroup16]

Learning to use LyX for the first time, and following the tutorial (class is book). Two quick issues:

(1) The title & table of contents show up in the *.lyx document but do not show up in the corresponding *.pdf

(2) Material classified as “paragraph” or “sub-paragraph” does not wrap around in the *.pdf, the line is just cut-off at the right hand margin of the page

Never really used LyX, stayed at the LaTeX level.


I can tell you only something to your second point, a paragraph is a heading. Please don't confuse it with a paragraph in usul wording, or html, or xml, or common sense. Unfortunately a quite strange naming there.

In a normal document, the chance to need \paragraph is quite low.

part
chapter
section
subsection
subsubsection
paragraph
subparagraph


At least about that you can read in every good LaTeX introduction.

Thanks. The first issue seems to have gone away - when I booted up my computer this morning and re-compiled the document, the title & TOC are working fine.

Can you provide a LaTeX export of the LyX document (or a reduced copy) and attach it to a forum post here? So we could verify the issue to fix it.
