Having done a bit of this I see it a bit different. There is a lot of work going into the conversion, but doing that in a non-automatic way has the advantage that you discover lots of problems. > any estimation of when the transition to LUL (LyX Unicode Library) is > finished? What you call LUL is simply the use of docstring. The LaTeX output is tricky, but I would estimate that the basic code will be converted in 2-4 weeks. > (and no, i am not gonna tell you guys what lul means in dutch...;-) > > how easy would it be to switch to qstring? Not much easier I believe. You still have to convert existing code. Georg
