Does that also mean to forget about Allen's "comma/-" direct input to From/To fields: Allan Rae wrote: > So you should really allow "," and "-" in the From field so we > can once again write: "From 35,45,47,50-59,65,66" which is the specific dvips way of the page range! Alternatively: let everyone enter what ever they want in the From/To fields; no filter or input check whatever. If it fails, it fails, well, as long as it doesn't crash LyX or, by error, send a million pages to the printer..... Rob.
