It is agreed that this would be useful, and Herbert Voß wrote something like that a long time ago, but for some reasons I don't now it never made its way into the sources, and nobody works currently on it. > (Especially since this seems to be the only restriction where LyX might > not be able to do every thing plain LaTeX can - or are there others?) Yes, this is the only restriction of this sort. In the text you can always resort to ERT if you want to do something that is not supported natively. Of course that can be a mess (e.g. if you have a bigger table using one of the packages LyX does not support), but it can be done. > And since we're already very off topic: there is no in line spell check > yet, is there?
