Hello there,
I have just commited a bunch of small things, and would like people to
try them out and comment a bit.
1/ add support for hyphenation break inset. Currently, this is just
drawn as a '|' character becasue I have been lazy. I can change it to
a hand drawn vertical line if needed, but I am not sure it will work
well with italics. I'd appreciate if our german friends could have
a look at it
2/ the index commands now use last word or selection as default value.
However, I use for that the selectWordWhenUnderCursor (!) method,
which ignore word when cursor is at boundary (this mean you have to be
in the middle of a word). I can understand this is a problem with
index, but I did not use a different method it because it is IMO a
problem for font change too (the other user).
So would it be OK to change the behaviour of font functions to apply
to a word when cursor is at its boundary? Currently this does nothing.
Also, I would like to remove one of the index menu entries. Do we
really need two of them? Can someone come up with something less wordy
than 'Index of preceeding word'??
Finally, strange things are bound to happen when selecting several
paragraphs and trying to index that. I'll have a look.
3/ the popup for creation of .lyx directory is gone (except when you
use -userdir). Should we add something to splash.lyx to explain that
this directory has been created, or just assume that the user will
find out soon enough?
4/ I have cleaned up the support for french style quotes. No they add
automatically inner space when in french language and output the right
french.sty/frenchb constructs. Should it do the same for 'canadien'
(aka fr_CA)? I am not sure the typographical rules are the same over
there. Also, I'd appreciate if our french friends could have
a look at it.
That's all for today.
JMarc
