Hi Uwe, Richard, Abdel,
as a user (with some latex background and several years as grateful LyX
user) I would like to contribute my 2cents.
For me it would be a helpful start to find in the documentation a short
explanation of the existing character styles. That certainly would help
to construct new ones (using vim to edit a layout file ;-)
Thanks for all your engagement
Hellmut

Well, if you're going to leave InsetInfo until after 1.6, we can do
this together. You can tell me what character styles you want, and
I'll produce definitions of them that you can use.
This wouldn't help. What we need is a way to define your own character
styles. That means that the users can define its own character styles
and change their definitions via a dialog (similar to branches).
Currently the user has to fiddle around with a text editor and the
layout files. He furthermore has to read the Customization manual
carefully to understand how the layout files are modified. This is not
user friendly and error prone, so I doubt that users will use character
styles.
Concerning the docs, when I use character styles, I have to describe how
they can be created and edited, but then the character styles need an UI
as we currently discuss in the layout editor thread. So I'll have to
postpone this to LyX 1.7.
regards Uwe
