I am not sure we should advise to do like that. If whitespace changes are annoying (I know this happened recently but I am not sure it will happen that often), I suggest to send both the full patch and the -B one.

Well, lyx-docs should be OK in theory, but I agree it is not very responsive. You could propose to cross-post in lyx-devel and lyx-docs. The problem is mainly that we do not have active documentation maintainers. John> Also the lyx team does not want to use change tracking for the John> LyX documentation? Let's wait until it works correctly :) JMarc
