In greek, certainly. I was refering to the name of labels. In SGML, the default SGML declaration that comes with the stylesheets, and other tools only accept for IDs and thus for labels: - . letter numbers This is independent of the language. > I have people who ask me how to translate my PHP-Nuke HOWTO > > http://www.karakas-online.de/EN-Book/ > > in greek, or hindu or chinese. What shall I tell them? Chinese should be OK with the the CJK version of LyX. Hindu, I don't know. The problem here is just lyx supporting the appropriate encoding. > That labels, URL texts etc. should stay in english? I just said labels, the url certainly doesn't have that restriction. Notice that the xml doesn't have this restriction. OTOH yesterday while playing with references in xml, the parser accepted é in a label, but fop would complain and refuse to work. > PS.

LyX 1.4.0 will not support unicode, that is planned for the next version. Then some of this isses will be simplified. > -- > > Regards > > Chris Karakas > http://www.karakas-online.de > -- José Abílio Matos LyX and docbook a perfect match. :-)
