Now that I'm writing my thesis, I actually need to use LyX heavily. So I suspect I'm going to be learning a lot about it. The bad news (for you) is that I'll probably come up with a bunch of feature requests. For now, it's a pretty simple one. You know how LyX 1.0.4 and on puts citations from a b

I've got a bit more faith in Andre's tex2lyx converter. Using LaTeX to translate LaTeX isn't just a cool hack---it happens to be the best way to read LaTeX. That is, we know that LaTeX won't have any trouble reading LaTeX input, even if it isn't "well-behaved". What that means is that you won't b

JMarc, my point is that a 1.1.4 plus the two patches is more stable than plain 1.1.4, so there should be somewhere that a person can download the patched sources from! Remember, we're trying to keep LyX stable during development. Most people won't have the energy to download 1.1.4 and the patches
