I'm third year B.Tech. student and would like to work on advance find and
replace GSOC project. I've used LyX to write my term paper in my previous
semester and now would like to contribute to same. I've cloned the LyX Git
repository. I previously got acquainted regarding the basics of LyX find
mechanism and debugging LyX code. I previously did work with Tomasso on the
same project idea a bit.
I've watched the three videos provided for advance find and replace. How
much is it actually completed, I mean is there any previous work done for
the same or I the idea is to be started from scratch. To implement a
regular expression search I know a basic approach used by compilers that is
form tokens and parse them using a grammar. I can do that using two tools
flex and yacc. I do not know that they'll interface well with LyX or not.
Any help regarding the same is welcome.
