two (or three) column bibliography

[Eckhard Höffner]

This is not a LyX problem.

LyX produces a tex-file that is stored (on my system) under 
/tmp/lyx_tempdir.random/ and than runs latex (pdflatex lualatex ...), 
makeindex, biber/biblatex on the tex file (several times, to get the 
idx, lot ... files).

You can open the tex file and search \printbibliography[options], insert 
\begin{multicols}{2} before and \end{multicols} after and than run 
pdflatex or xelatex (whatever you choose) on the file.

With Debian,

1. Install kile.

2. Run pdflatex /lualatex /xelatex from LyX (depending on the format 
chosen in the document settings) to produce a pdf

3.  open the tex file under /tmp/lyx_tempdir with kile

4. In kile, there is a drop down menue (next to "Wiederherstellen") -- 
choose pdflatex/lualatex/xelatex (whatever fits)

You get a new version of the pdf file in the same directory, can look at 
the log file and so on.


With my system it works without any problems, as you have seen (you may 
have to insert \cleardoublepage).
