I realize that this is a BIG request, but it might reflect the wishes of others. In MS WORD, when text is deleted (with /change tracking/ turned on), the deleted text is shown in the margin, and the newly-flowed or inserted text is shown in the body of the document. This makes it easier to detect any missing spaces, judge space compliance etc. In Lyx, the deleted and inserted text are shown together in both Lyx and the pdf output. The WORD method is far superior. I am not going to return to WORD because of it, but since the change tracking feature is one of the main reasons I use Lyx instead of plain Latex, it would be really nice if something like that could be implemented-- perhaps inserting the new text and making the deleted text appear as a comment. Before you tell me how hard it is-- see my first sentence.
Hi,It can be done in the LaTeX output by redefining the commands \lyxadded and \lyxdeleted to your liking. But you are right it would be much harder to implement inside the LyX editor.
