This topic came up twice in the last couple of days: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/71550/globally-set-a-word-in-small-caps-or-italics/71591 http://latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=21427
I have two questions: (1) Is there an easier LyX-solution than recompiling or using a python script? I think I might be missing something simple. (2) If the answer to (1) is "no", then: Would making special phrases user-extensible be a valid feature? My guess is that the special phrases are hardcoded for a good reason. There seems to be potential problems that users could run into. Are we protecting the users from themselves? Or is it just that no one felt like implementing a feature like this? To be clear, I propose taking out the hard-coded special phrases and putting them in an file that is loaded on run-time. Note that they are hard-coded in two places: Paragraph.cpp and tex2lyx/text.cpp. Thanks, Scott
