You might know better than I do, but I think URL will work correctly
with *nix paths, since they use the / separator, as in URIs.
Yes they do, but we need a method we can use for all kinds of paths -
Windows and Unix paths.
The code charstyle uses typewriter. I don't see any problems with it
when I compile here. If it causes problems, then we can alter that
charstyle in local layout. I've put the necessary code (commented out) in.
Thanks. The problem with typewriter in general is that LaTeX cannot
hyphenate it. So one sooner or later get the case where a typewriter
text protrudes over the margin, especially for longer typewriter parts.
I've added a note saying that this can vary depending upon language,
since users of non-English installs might be reading the English docs
anyway.
Thanks. Is it OK that I use the new sec. 5.1 also in branch. I mean this
topic is very important and appears often on the mailing lists. If this
would be in LyX 1.6.8, we can then refer to it.
Character styles are still not working for me well:
- In the Spanish version of Customization.lyx I added the module
"Logical markup". But then I don't know how to insert one. How is that
done?
Edit>Text Style, and now you should see the options.
Ah, that's why I haven't found it. When I want to insert a new thing, I
look in the Insert menu. It therefore never came into my mind to look in
the Edit menu if there is not yet an inset I can modify. Can we
therefore move it to the Insert menu and add a separate entry in the
Edit menu to modify existing charstyles?
- In the French Customization manual I also loaded the logical markup
module and then copied the whole section 5.1 from the English version
to the French version. I then get 3 errors, that "CharStyle:MenuItem"
is undefined. I did the same action for the Spanish manual and there I
don't get errors.
Can you therefore please have a look at sec. 5.1 of the French
Customization.lyx in trunk?
This is defined in local layout (since menu items are only needed in our
own docs). You can just copy the local layout from the English one to
the others.
Hmm, but why was it the working with the Spanish version? I'll have a
closer look at this when I'm back home.
- I copy a text line including a charstyle from an English manual to
e.g. a German one. Then I highlight the whole text line and set its
language to German. But the charstyle content remains English. One has
to go into the charstyle and do the action there again to change it to
German. This is very annoying and perhaps the reason why our
translators don't use charstyles often.
That would be a bug. Obviously, when we change the language, we should
recurse into charstyles. I have no idea how to do this, or even where
this info is stored. Can you report it on trac?
Done:

There is another bug I stumbled over:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/2808
perhaps you have a quick fix for this.
thanks and regards
