Hi everyone, my question is: How can i get capital letter automatically after every dot? and more: How can I have the right space afet comma or bracket etc.? I’m using the lastest LYX version in windows. Thank you very much who can help me and solve these problem.
LyX does not have such autocorrection, so you can't get it currently. Try to type correctly instead, and proofread.
There are many that don't want to have such autocorrection either, because it is immensely irritating when it goes wrong. And it will, probably. At least every existing autocorrector has some failures.
Sometimes, we don't want capitalization, such as in "e.g." This could be added as an exception, but LyX support many languages with many different rules for captitalization.
Sometimes, a space after comma is not wanted. In my language, comma is used as a decimal separator. (45 cent is $0,45) Having to undo wrong
"corrections" is much worse than simply having to type correct. Also, even "perfect" correction has its problems. I am used to type space after comma, with corrections I'd get two spaces. :-( Helge Hafting
