If you extend the scope beyond Anglo, the issue gets even more apparent. Consider German, where you have a lot of in-word capitalization if you consider compounds. For instance, changing the (often wrongly spelled) word "ad-hoc-Aktion" to the orthographically correct "Ad-hoc-Aktion" would give you "Ad-hoc-aktion" which is of course plain wrong. I could select the a before issuing the function, but then, respelling it would arguably be faster. It is well possible that Libre and MS don't get this right either (probably since they have an anglocentric concept of "a word"), but that does not mean that we shouldn't. So why not offer an additional function? -- Jürgen -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
