Cut and paste should be okay but raises another issue. My last doc
submissions included a lot of "by hand" linebreaking so things would print
well. This resulted in some ERT being inserted into various docs. I did
this hoping that 1.0.0 would be out by now and that people wanted clean,
printable docs.
New documentation is always good, but it will affect the need for some of
the linebreaks. So my question is this: should the docs be biased for
clean reading within LyX, or for clean printing on paper?
The difference may sound trivial, but trust me, it is not. There is a fair
amount of work converting between the two, and a lot of ERT comes and goes
to keep things looking good. Now, I'm not about to suggest we stop writing
documentation, but is the work need to make nicely printed docs worth the
effort? If not, I don't want to waste my time doing it.
FWIW, the usual trouble spots are URL's, code, and other verbatim-like
stuff.
Comments?
