That's nice indeed. Even if I knew we have some provisional code for tipa in our sources, I never figured out how to use it, and stuck with ERT. I think you should create an info page on the LyX wiki for this. > I heard that this support was going out in LyX > 1.4, but this makes me very sad.

AFAIK xymatrix was removed because it was rather buggy. Anyway, I think there's interest to readd it again soon, maybe even enhance it, see: http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2238 Concerning TIPA, I'm tempted to have a look in the next development cycle (for 1.5), but don't hold your breath. There are so many things to do, and even if I'm a linguist myself, I don't need phonetic symbols frequently enough to get annoyed by the lacking support ;-) Jürgen
