One first thing that should be done IMO is a patch like this one. 
LexRC::getBool accepts 1,true,0,false, although not in case insensitive 
way if I read the code correctly.

But since lyx2lyx does not handle true/false currently this is kind of 
pointless without more fixes.

What I do not really know however, is whether other bool-like features 
use getBool. I think that we should actually enforce true/false only for 
such tags.

Re: Translations for 2.1.0

Vincent,

What about merging the kill-gettext branch? It eases somewhat the 
translation work since it does not require to install LyX to test the 
translations. Moreover, this would allow us to do some testing, assuming 
some translators will try to compile and run LyX.

I guess this is the patch from pdv we discussed in Milano.

Jerry, unfortunately this patch cannot go in in its present form and we 
did not find the time to do the cleanup in Milano. Too much time was 
spent at the meeting debating the virtues of C++11, cmake or Qt instead 
of coding :-|

This is difficult stuff and has to be done carefully.

I think you mean WYSIWYMean, as LyX isn't WYSIWYGet. Anyway, if you don't
care about performance that much you could use vnc.js to remotely access
regular LyX.



Sure, though I'd suggest you use javascript + html. There are a number of
online richtext editors that would make a good base for a kind of LyX-lite.

Dear Saravanan,
LyX is a desktop application written in C++. It would be a rather daunting 
task to make it a web application, as it would require rewriting most of 
the code in Java or Javascript.

There would also be the question of how to compile the document; the 
underlying tools (LaTeX etc.) cannot be easily rewritten either, so a 
client/server infrastructure would be needed where a server processes the 
documents.

Of course this is possible in theory, but it would take many man-years of 
effort, and someone willing to provide the server infrastructure.

Re: Extending biblatex support

With biblatex, you do not load bst files. It ships its own style files
(*.bbx, *cbx), which are loaded via package options. E.g.

\usepackage[citestyle=authoryear,bibstyle=authoryear-comp,...]{biblatex}

The bib file is loaded in the preamble, by means of
\addbibresource{mybib.bib}
(one macro per database}

The bibliography, then, is put in the document with the macro
\prinbibliography[<options>]

It's a significantly different interface, really.

Hi,

I have seen LYX which is wonderful tool. I have few questions here that is,
Is there LYX for online WYSIWYG content editing?
or
can we make LYX for online WYSIWYG editor?
or
Is it possible to make WYSIWYG online editor using Java?

Kindly please help me to clear my clarifications.
Thanks.

When should we create this vanilla userdir? Maybe some extra target.
Or extra test.
It make thinks more complicated IMHO.

Removing "\foreignlanguage{ngerman}" (as it is on 2.0.x) makes it compilable. This is a regression.

Re: [LyX master] UserGuide.lyx: first step of revision

Scott Kostyshak — 2013-05-22T00:00:20

But there is an underlying issue that will come up if we don't address
it. I'm not convinced that the following should be valid:

\begin{description}[\foreignlanguage{ngerman}{labelindent=0pt,
labelsep=1cm, font=\itshape, style=nextline}]
\item [{Ionizing~radiation:}] Ionizing radiation consists of particles
or electromagnetic waves that are energetic enough to detach electrons
from atoms or molecules, therefore ionizing them.

It makes sense to have the \foreignlanguage nested inside the option?
I'm not sure LyX should be doing that.

Sure. We need a layout tag to tell what the class default is.

To clarify the concept of my idea:

The setting is somewhat between the the document settings and the preferences. The idea is to change 
only the way NEW floats are inserted. Existing floats will not be changed by this setting.

Take for example the case that you have to write an internal research report today. You want to have 
all floats containing only one image centered. So you set this in my setting and every new float is 
is inserted with a centered image. You have 15 floats but one should be left-aligned (because it 
contains e.g. subfigures). So you can change the alignment of that single float as usual. If you 
insert afterwards new floats, you still get the desired centered floats.
Tomorrow you will have to continue to write a journal article. This class required to have all 
floats right-aligned. So you set this in my setting ans start writing. For one float you might have 
to align the content using an hfill so you can change the alignment as usual.

For the reason of the need to write with different document classes, the setting should the 
document-dependent.
For the reason that in many cases one or a few floats needs to have another alignment than all other 
floats, my setting does not change existing floats.

There can be another option where you can change the alignment for _all_ floats in your document as 
you proposed. Such a setting is useful, but both features, my proposed and your proposed should be 
separated.


Yes, the plan was that you can also specify a default size for the image/table in the float and the 
caption position too.

I only saw it after your commit one month ago. I think you are the
only user/dev compiling the German User Guide in 2.1git.

I do agree that it's strange it hasn't come up in other contexts (or
maybe it has). Maybe this is worth a post on tex.stackexchange.com. It
sounds like you're confident that the LaTeX is valid, right?
