Dear Listmembers,
for me, I am fine with using another editor. By the way, this would rise again
the question about LyX or not LyX. But not for my wife. And also, opening
another editor for search and replace - a non-option (for her). What about
defining such things in a header by newcommand and changing it by changing the
declaration of newcommand? I. e. say \newcommand{\leftquote}{\glqq} for german
double left style and \newcommand{\leftquote}{\glq} for german single left
style or alike? You do write latex headers anyway, don't you?
I don't want to be inpolite to anyone, but the best test (in my eyes) for a
concept is to make DAUs work with it. I hear you saying that such things
are peanuts, but I found that many things I took for "given" because I was used
to live with them are not "given" in that sense (like using another editor I do
not know how to use to search for cryptic LaTeX symbols in a strange looking
document as my wife would point out(happy TeXing I said to me and vanished in my
room ... )). And everybody who wants to understand my arguments should try to
explain this to a person that started to work with word and tells you "why is
this and that so complicated" and you have no words left to say ..... ;-)
(besides saying TeX gives fun, but don't use the wrong word at the wrong place
when discussing with close relatives ...)
Anyway. I would appreciate if you could think about putting that on the
wishlist. It is like deciding in advance whether I want to use Times or
Helvetica and keep it for the entire document AND see it - only for the
wishlist :-)
I could not even think of doing all the very good work you guys do
with what you do (even though my arguments from above may sound different). I
am only dreaming of a word processor that is easy to use and works like charm -
not like M$Word.
Many thanks for your time, take care, (and don't take me too serious ...),
