LyX Developers,
I know there has been extensive discussion on changes to en/em-dash
handling. Regrettably, I haven't followed it closely. However, I ran
across an issue related to these recently that made me wonder whether it
has been addressed. Unfortunately, I'm currently traveling and cannot test
with 2.3.0, so my question may be moot.
*Summary: when pasting en/em-dashes into a table, they do not get converted
and will render as double/triple hyphens. This also appears to apply to
pasting into body text, though my example is directed at the functionality
that most affects me.*
Steps to reproduce (in v2.2.3):
1. Insert a 2x2 table to a new LyX document.
2. Paste the block below my signature into the upper-left cell to have
all 4 cells populated.
Note: this block is copied from Excel (see screenshot) and thus should have
tabs between each column (I'm not sure whether they'll be preserved in the
email).
Side note: I *rarely* work in Excel; however, for expedience I sometimes
format code output to have \t characters to directly paste into LyX tables
if I'm not having the code write a separate .tex file to use with an
\input{...}.
*Any thoughts you can provide on whether this paste-conversion behavior has
been fixed are appreciated.*
Thank you,
Joel
