Except if you need to change from French "vernacular" quotation style to the French Imprimérie Nationale style ;-) > The way I saw it was: > 1/ there is a default style for each language, and it would be nice > to > have a 'default' setting for quotes, like we have for encoding.

But you miss the fact that after LyX made a proposal for a default quote style for a given language, you might adjust that to your or your publisher's need. And the dynamic quotes will output that and not the "language default". Therefore such a label would be inadequate. IOW the dynamic quotes feature includes what you describe, but it exceeds that. > > No. It shows the current style on top level and then all other > > varieties in submenus.

You are the one who wrote the feature, after all ;) Well, I am certainly open to proposals, but you will have to convince me.

I see, but then we would have to tinker with the GUI strings depending on the buffer language. Jürgen > > JMarc >
