This is not my point. I agree that character styles are a nice thing. But the inset interface is still not optimal IMO. What I mean is that character styles are still not used for emph/noun, not associated to easy shortcuts/icons. If they were, we'd start having complaints that using C-e twice leads to two nested insets. And of course, this box prevents line-breaking. None of this is horrible to fix, but I think we miss a lot of polish. JMarc
