I plain hate meantimes, they hamper development and tends to build up
until they are almost impossible to get rid of when the time
eventually comes to do it proper.
I am fiddling with the thought of having a TextAttributes where we now
have LyXFont. This TA would normally just contain a regualar LyXFont,
but in other cases it would hold a logical attribute f.ex. "Country".
This attribte would again point to a LyXFont that inherits from the
surround lying LyXFont before the display is done. One kind of TA
could then also be "number" and some special required handling could
be bound to this (rtl operations f.ex.). I would also like language be
moved to this TA (and noun too).
Thoughts?
