I have never make oolatex working. Actually, it worked once a few years ago but the whole layout was messed up.
Could possibly be borrowed from KDE apps, with appropriate adjustments.
Yes.
> Layout overhaul: > 1. embedding layout? > 2. modualized layouts? These are orthogonal, yes? In any event, (1) would be easy to implement if we had (i) my modular stuff, which is almost working, and (ii) a "layout" pane similar to the preamble pane where you could enter layout info on the fly. Embedding would then be a simple matter of dumping all the layout info into that pane---I mean, that's how it would seem to the user.
So they are in your hand now. :-)
> 3. layout edit dialog? This would rock. I've thought about it a bit, and surely it can't be that hard. The backend essentially exists.
This as well. :-) Bo
