reLyX doc v2.0

OK. I've made a couple changes (thanks, JMarc). - "reLyX -- convert..." is now a \title. - Sub and Subsub sections were moved up a level of importance. Changed SYNOPSIS to Synopsis since it's in a big font. - Accents work (but ligatures don't. I don't really know what to do about those. Is

Patch for Find and Replace dialog

1999-01-11 Thread Daniel Naber
Hi, I made some changes to the Find&Replace dialog. The diff is against lyx-1.0.0pre6. Since I'm not yet familiar with lyx internals you should probably take a closer look at the new code (e.g. the line where snprintf is used, which is probably not very elegant). Changes in detail: - replace jum

Regex search?

Hi, lyxfr0.h contains some ideas to improve the search dialog, regex searches is one of them. I'd like to see this feature in lyx and I'd like to include it. But I have no idea how to do this. My thoughts: - We might use POSIX (man regex), but this is not OO - libg++ had some regex stuff but is

The nice thing about xdvips was that it would open up a small window, in response to your print request, with full access to the dvips options, and a dialog box for the basic ones. It understood page "ranges", commands like "2-5,7,12" worked seemlessly. Best regards -- Larry S. Marso [EMAIL PRO

If you enter \mathit{xyz} in mathed, it is displayed as "mathit{xyz}", yet if you save and reload the document the command and braces disappear, and you get just "xyz". This is rather confusing. -- http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/rrt1001/ | maxim, n. wisdom for fools

It seems to me that there should be a choice between \newpage and \pagebreak for a page break, and dare I suggest that \pagebreak should probably be the default (as is implied in LaTeX by its name)? -- http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/rrt1001/ | maxim, n. wisdom for fools

Since these are synonyms in LaTeX, it seems reasonable that typing \gets in mathed should produce a left-pointing arrow (and perhaps it should even be represented by \leftarrow in the document; I'm not sure whether it's preferable to map two commands to one symbol or turn one command into another)
