Hello all, This is regarding some problems that I came up with while trying to proceed with the mentioned project idea. Hope I can get some ideas and help from here.
I am a Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate of University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. I have the programming experience with languages like Java, C, C#, C++, etc. Also I have interacted with web developing using asp.net, CSS and have dealt with database handling with MySQL. With these experiences I like to contribute for open source development, which would be a new experience for me. I am interested with the project: Horizontal scrollbar for tables and math that is mentioned under http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/SummerOfCode2013Ideas. Basically I installed LyX Document processor to my system (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) and experienced that problem. After that, I downloaded the source code from the Git repository and was able to compile it and finally run it after several attempts. The version 2.1.0 dev is now running on my system using the command line. Hope that is the latest version. As I can see, in LyX if we print (/view as pdf) a document with a too wide table, the extra part is going to be cut out in the output. This will happen even if a horizontal bar is created to access the extended edges in the editing environment. Is there any solution that the organization has figured out for this issue? Or is that part also falling under to the same project? If possible, please introduce me some introductory bugs that are easy to start with and related to this project. Thank you Hashini Senaratne
