I usually run it from within lyx, myself :) LyX takes care of figuring out when it no longer needs to be run. fwiw, my dissertation was one of the three-run jobbers. anyway, I generallyagree about doing it manually. I still use lyx rather than raw latex because a) my equations tend to be on the *really* complex side, and I can't quite follow them in raw latex b) LyX tends to take *a lot* less keystrokes than raw latex, which is my single biggest concern hawk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
