If I read the tax manual correctly, smilies count as 'half of a pair of
paranthesis' if imported from outside the EU. But if used in vegetarian
text, the tax is halved.
Anyway, I'd rather have something easy to r

Hi,
My 5 cents.
What about a C/C++ interpreter as a scripting engine ?
Have a look at CINT :

Hi guys,
I mostly lurk because I have mostly not been using
lyx much (I went back to flat laTeX -but I'm
looking forward to trying some of the new stuff).
I do have a brief opinion on scripting languages,
though.
I like the sound of tcl. Simple and extendable.
Not being a C person, scheme hol
Hi,
I have strong feelings against to introduce another scripting language, one
more language to learn and master if you want to do something.
I think that we should stick to one of the major league script languages
{Perl,Python,Tcl}.
I prefer Python, since its gracefull,

Hi!
It seems that the best for us would be to bundle a scripting

I've done a bit of searching and so far found one candidate language
