I am working on a grammar checker for LyX. It outputs the errors to LaTeX .log
format so it can integrate itself into LyX without need for any modification
to existing LyX binary.
Three questions.
First, I understand that to tell LyX 1.3.6 that a converter generates errors
in a LaTeX .log format you have to set the "Extra Flag" to be "latex".
However then it seems to ignore the converter option, and run latex instead.
Why is this?
Secondly, I am currently getting around this problem by naming my grammar
checker "latex" and then getting it to call the real LaTeX when it is done.
Is there a better way?
Thirdly, is there any interest in including this in an official release (it is
under 50KB), and if so is there some procedure I should follow?
I have placed an experimental-yet-functional version up at:
