Dear all,
Playing with the view-source dialog (it is great fun), I can not help
thinking whether or not we can achieve something similar to
dreamweaver's dual view feature. That is to say, what is typed in the
lyx window shows automatically (and dynamically) in the source window
(has been done), and what is typed in the source window automatically
appears in the main window. The later sounds very difficult but if we
add a few restrictions that help user specify ERT etc, and allow only
basic commands, it may be doable. After all, we have been importing
large latex files.
This provides a potentially very powerful input method. Latex veterans
will like this feature, Lyx, in general, is not designed for such
things though.
Will this worth pursuing?
IMHO, if we limit that to math, this is would be a very powerful and
welcome feature. The math latex subset is known in part or in in full
even by non-latex expert. As lyx does already use this subset as is. It
does not require any back and forth transformation :-)
I envision a generalized math dock widget that would merge the math
panel, the math toolbar and this new math edit box. See how OpenOffice
is doing that for an example.
