capitalizationcross-referencinglyx
LyX (v2.03) uses refstyle for cross references. By default if you use the GUI to create a reference it produces source that looks like:
\tabref{label1}
\figref{label2}
which produces an output like "figure 1.1 and table 1.1".
What I want is the capitalised equivalent:
\Tabref{label1}
\Figref{label2}
Which will give "Figure 1.1 and Table 1.1".
Is there a switch or something to pass to the refstyle package to always do uppercase? Or do I have to manually enter the \Tabref each time?
Looking at the relevant entry on the UK's TeX FAQ, there is probably no way to automatically and conveniently do this.
Indeed, the two most simple solutions would be to use the samepage environment (which may not work in all situations) or manually insert \clearpage as needed.
My advise would be to leave the figures wherever they happen to fall, and only in the end add \clearpage's as appropriate to break pages exactly at the places you want.
Sorry, there seems to be no “keep with next” in (La)TeX.
Let our LyX document be called mypaper.lyx. Under “Document > Settings...” we add two branches: “fulltext” and “shorttext” both with filename suffix set to “Yes”. (As mentioned, “branches” are used in LyX to manage several different variants of one document.)
When only the branch “fulltext” is activated we call this the full version of the document; when only the branch “shorttext” is activated we call this the short version of the document.
The branch “fulltext” shall contain all the details, e.g., a float table (with the label “tab:1”). Such details are placed inside a “branch box”, which is created by “Insert > Branch > 1. fulltext”. Furthermore, the branch “shorttext” will only contain a cross-reference “Table [Ref: tab:1]” to that table in the long version.
So far we got the following LyX document with two branches:
How to generate the short version mypaper-shorttext.pdf and the full version mypaper-fulltext.pdf?
First, we activate the “fulltext” branch only and compile the full version (as PDF), to which we want to refer in the short version. The file name of the output will be mypaper-fulltext.pdf as you may see in the PDF viewer.
Then, we add two lines to the LaTeX Preamble of mypaper.lyx.
\usepackage{xr}
\externaldocument{mypaper-fulltext}
where mypaper-fulltext is the filename without extension of the just created output.
Finally, we activate the “shorttext” branch only and compile the short version.
The outputs are:

Background – how does this work in LyX?
For compiling a document, LyX exports a document to a LaTeX file in a temporary directory and runs the program “pdflatex” (or similar) to create the output. Luckily LyX uses the same temporary directory when compiling the short version and the full version. Hence, the files mypaper-shorttext.tex, mypaper-shorttext.aux, mypaper-fulltext.tex, mypaper-fulltext.aux are in the same directory. By using \externaldocument{mypaper-fulltext} LaTeX will find the necessary files like mypaper-fulltext.aux. After a new start of LyX, the temporary directory is empty again. Hence, the full version needs to be compile first to create the files mypaper-fulltext.tex, mypaper-fulltext.aux.
Extensibility: If the “shorttext” branch contains labels that are referred by the long version then we need to add \externaldocument{mypaper-shorttext} to the LaTeX Preamble, too, and keep the short version compiled (updated), too. More complex scenarios with several branches are possible.

refstyleuses a config filerefstyle.cfg. You can make a copy in your local texmf tree or in your working directory. Edit the contents of you localrefstyle.cfgfile. Depending on the language you are using (default is english) change the spesific\RS<language>command. For example\RSenglish
