> We should stick with the name that is used in the class documentation. This depends: * if a feature is named differently in different classes, e.g. \phone vs. \telephone vs. \tel, which one should win? * if there is a name clash with another class/package supported by LyX we must act. * if a feature is ambiguosly named in the class or the name choice of the package is "unfortunate", resorting to an established name might be better. In the special case, we should remember that * the term "labeling" for this variant of a description list is specific to the KOMA documentation * "labeling" has a differnt meaning elsewhere. * there are users with little or no exposition to scrgui*.pdf. > A third choice would not solve the problem. As both, "List" and "Labeling" are problematic, a third choice could be an improvement. If we came up with "the right choice", there would be no problem in documenting "*** is named 'labeling' in the KOMA script classes". (It would be not much different from "'phone' is called 'tel' in the xxyletter class".) But I really would like to leave the decision to a native speaker (or alternatively to a poll). Günter
