Perfect is the enemy of good. Why cares about those unicode characters?
I have no idea. Maybe they are not important at all, but I would not be
surpised either if they were some very commonly used symbols.
We can hack those somehow if they are important.
Yes.
Tell me a little more about your proposal. What are the pros and cons
compared to UTF-8 + external conversion? So far, I've got:
Pro:
- LyX can do smart conversions depending on context (not important to me)
Con:
- More complicated code
Which to me means that UTF-8 + external conversion wins.
You misunderstood me. My proposal was not to do the internal conversion. My
proposal was to the same with all latex() methods that I did with
plaintext(): Output to UCS4 streams and do the conversion to utf8 in the
file stream.
Then we all agree I think.
