To LyX developers:
Thank you for making LyX available, it's become an indispensable tool
for my everyday work. You can add to the FAQ that LyX has been used to
write papers published in the journals "Physical Review" and "New
Astronomy".
Comments about LyX:
There are certain problems with submitting RevTeX articles: first, there
is still a RevTeX 3.x bug with \mathbf{} not working properly, and also
the TeX files contain lines that are too long and "\( \)" , "\[ \]"
delimiters are used instead of "$ $", "$$ $$". I had to write a perl
script to wrap long lines, to replace \( \) by $ $ and to replace
\mathbf{...} by {\mathbf ...}.
The Physical Review is still not accepting RevTeX 4.x documents.
There are still problems in the math editor, especially regarding mouse
clicks and selections. It's still impossible to put the mouse cursor
precisely in the denominator of a fraction or to the right of a closing
bracket. Selection with the mouse cannot be shrunk, only expanded. This
makes it more practical to select using the keyboard. And yet, mouse is
required, for example, when selecting delimiters. Also, it's impossible
to edit an existing reference or label. The hotlink feature trasporting
you to the referenced location is perhaps good but maybe a right-click
could be used to edit such objects.
Finally, my small contribution to LyX:
I am using LyX with Sciword bindings and I thought it's time to write
some documentation about them. I'm attaching two files: an updated
"sciword.bind" and a short LyX document patterned after the section in
the reference manual about specific bindings. I hope it is useful and
can be included in a future distribution.
Best regards,
Serge
