Hello all, I'm a long-time LaTeX user but new to LyX. I am currently
working on a package to convert Word-using literature scholars to open
formats and the benefits of TeX. Specifically, I am trying to
find/write a sensible GUI to the ledmac package for typesetting
critical editions. I have some C experience and would be willing to
work with the code but I'm hoping there's an easier way. I would
appreciate if anyone could help with two problems:
First is facing-page translations. I would like to just display them
in LyX as a special table environment, and specify a way to export
them to LaTeX. The LaTeX command looks like
\translatedPoem{ ... original ... }{ ... translation ... }
Any chance of this working, or should I just write a script to convert
the exported file? How much would it take to add a button to LyX and
have it run: export LaTeX > conversion script > XeTeX resulting file >
open result?
Second and last is multiple sets of footnote. I think this is doable
in the 1.6 specs' [http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16#toc2]
"User-formattable Collapsable Insets" feature, but it isn't further
explained. Does anyone have more info?
Thank you for your help,
Adam Solove
