community,</span></div>

<div><span class="tlid-translation translation">a few days ago
I wrote you my problem in german. Sorry for that. Instead
of it I will try it with my (bad) english:<br>
<br>
I have produced around 120 A4 pages with LyX, interspersed
with much mathematical formulas. I choose the KOMA-script
for books for it. The content is finished, now I'm
fine-tuning the shape. In doing so, I carefully consult
the manuals enclosed with the software:</span><br>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Introduction</li>
<li><span class="tlid-translation translation">Tutorial</span></li>
<li><span class="tlid-translation translation">User Guide</span></li>
<li><span class="tlid-translation translation">Extensions</span></li>
<li><span class="tlid-translation translation">Adjustments</span></li>
<li><span class="tlid-translation translation">Embedded
Objects</span></li>
<li><span class="tlid-translation translation">Special
manuals</span></li>
<li><span class="tlid-translation translation">Etc.</span></li>
</ul>
<div><br>
<span class="tlid-translation translation">I have already
been able to solve a number of problems this way.<br>
<br>
But now I am facing a tricky problem. And I don't know if
the problem is with me, with LyX or with its
documentation. In all honesty, I'm a little confused. I
try to tell you the cause of my confusion.</span><br>
<br>
</div>
<div><span class="tlid-translation translation">I want to
include boxes for mathematical examples in my book. To do
this, I chose the so called 'colored boxes', divided them
into an upper part (for the mathematical example) and a
lower part (for its solution), was able to underlay both
parts with different colors (for making it pretty), choose
a pretty thin boxrule and finally managed to make the box
breakable. I can even place the text for footnotes inside
the box outside the box. Unfortunately, two strange things
happen in this process:</span><br>
</div>
<ol>
<li>I put 2 footnotes in the box. Outside the box, however,
both footnote texts are quoted with the same No. 2. A
footnote text with No. 1 does not even exist.</li>
<li><span class="tlid-translation translation">I made the
entire text in the collor box long enough, so there MUST
be arise a page break. This puts the first footnote on
the first page and the second on the second page of the
box. Now the two footnote texts should be shown on the
corresponding pages. But they won't, both are shown on
the second page.</span><br>
</li>
</ol>
<div><span class="tlid-translation translation">So far so bad.</span><br>
<br>
</div>
<div><span class="tlid-translation translation">And now comes
my real problem, which arises when I try to fix the
problem above:<br>

<br>
<span class="tlid-translation translation">However, in the
manual, for example 'Additional 2.4.2 - Change the
preamble' is written:</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div style="margin-left: 40.0px;"><span
class="tlid-translation translation"><em>The commands LyX
adds to the header of a LaTeX file are fixed; You cannot
change them without changing LyX yourself. But you can
add your own stuff to the preamble.<br>
To do this, choose Document⇒Settings⇒LaTeX header. This
opens an editing window in which you can write your
preferred commands.<br>
<br>
The editing behavior in this window is specific, so
don't expect the LyX key combinations to work in it.<br>
LyX adds everything in the LaTeX leader window to its
built-in leader. Before you add your own declarations to
the header, check to see if LyX doesn't already support
this (remember what we said about reinventing the
wheel?). Also: make sure your headers are correct. LyX
doesn't check it. If the opening credits are incorrect,
you will most likely get the error message Missing \
begin {document}. If you ever get them, check your
opening credits!</em></span></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div><span class="tlid-translation translation">Nice. When I
try to change the preamble, I regularly read the LaTeX
preamble shown in LyX in its first line:</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 40.0px;"><br>
<span class="tlid-translation translation"><em>% Do not
change the preamble !!!</em></span></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div><span class="tlid-translation translation">Even if I
ignore that, I can't add anything to the preamble - that
seems to be technically impossible in LyX.<br>
<br>
Now the manual UserGuide '3.1.2.4 - Local Format' says:</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div style="margin-left: 40.0px;"><em><span
class="tlid-translation translation">Modules work with
LyX like packages with LaTeX: They are meant to be used
in different documents. If you often need the same thing
in different documents, you should consider writing a
module for it. Sometimes, however, you need a format for
a particular document, but only in that one document.
Something like a document-specific LaTeX preamble: LyX ’
so-called 'local format'. See the Local Layout section
of the Customization Guide for information on how to use
it.</span></em></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div><span class="tlid-translation translation">When I try to
find the various in the above Manuals to accommodate the
changes proposed there in the 'local format', I regularly
receive the message after validation:</span></div>

<div style="margin-left: 40.0px;"><em><span
class="tlid-translation translation">Format is invalid!</span></em></div>

Can you create (and post here) a minimal example showing the two
problems (the missing footnote number 1 and the box spanning pages
with both footnotes on the second page)? (The box contents do not
matter, so long as the document demonstrates the problems.)<br>
