Having just finished writing an article in German on my Mac (running on the most recent version of macOS 12.3.1), I discovered several strange problems that concern the quote character (") - Shift 2 on a German keyboard: a) While I can write it in LyX, I cannot search for it. I can put it into the search box, but the LyX editor will not find quote marks in the document. (I know that under Document" -> Settings I can choose various types of quote signs; I left it to the standard, which (in German) means typographic quote marks.
As for this problem, it is https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11462, right? I have just suggested a way to resolve it at the ticket. Maybe you want to chip in if you have further thoughts.
b) Only the opening quote marks are being exported when I export my LyX document to either Word (XML) or Markdown format. Yes, I know it sounds strange, but that is how I discovered the problem. Everything works well when exporting the document to pdf (via LaTeX), but not in the other export formats.
I couldn't find those two formats in the export dialog. Please remind me where I can find them. I succeeded in exporting with "HTML (MS Word)". There I see both quotes (beginning and end) but they are actually not Word's typical double quotes. So that is possibly another bug.
So something seems amiss. Since I searched through the mailing list archive, I know that this hasn’t been mentioned here before, which puzzles me even more. Could any of you please confirm that you don’t have the problem - and then help me narrow down where the problem on my machine is? I’d be so grateful! Thanks and best wishes, AndreasAndreas, thanks for the report. At least for upcoming lyx2.4 and with advanced find it will be no problem. Committing the fix now. Kornel
Just to be sure, this is a fix for (part of) a) but not b), right? Daniel -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
