using xsltproc to create a lyx document

2004-09-14 Thread Jeremy C. Reed
I have several XML documents (written in GuideXML) that I am using xsltproc to convert to lyx format. I am learning to write a .xsl stylesheet to convert to a non-XML format (lyx 236 format). It contains HTML-like text which has a newline in between text of same paragraph which behaves like a spac

LyX/Mac modifier keys -- any hope for a better solution?

2004-09-14 Thread Jason Woodard
Hi, There have been several posts, as recently as last week, about the fact that the modifier keys are "hardcoded" by Qt/Mac--in particular, the command key is mapped to the control key. I'm comforted to know I'm not the only person this drives nuts. Unfortunately, like others I also use an A
