I realize that this is a BIG request, but it might reflect the wishes of
others.
In MS WORD, when text is deleted (with /change tracking/ turned on), the
deleted text is shown in the margin, and the newly-flowed or inserted
text is shown in the body of the document. This makes it easier to
detect any missing spaces, judge space compliance etc.
In Lyx, the deleted and inserted text are shown together in both Lyx and
the pdf output.
The WORD method is far superior. I am not going to return to WORD
because of it, but since the change tracking feature is one of the main
reasons I use Lyx instead of plain Latex, it would be really nice if
something like that could be implemented-- perhaps inserting the new
text and making the deleted text appear as a comment.
Before you tell me how hard it is-- see my first sentence.
