Hi Martin, I'm sorry, but I'm against this general suggestion. Lyx should not try to guess what the user "really" wanted to write, that would remind me of annoying Word behavior. But if you were suggesting that such checks should happen for a copy/paste action, then I'd say it's worth pursuing. I guess that when Lyx is scriptable it will also be easy to have such checks running as "the last task" before you print. -sven
