Lyx: Hebrew quotes
I am a very new Lyx (version 1.1.5fix1) user. What a wonderful job has been done so far. Some comments: Hebrew: === * In Hebrew mode, how shoud one insert right '' and left `` quotation marks - without turning into L2R mode? * When starting a Hebrew paragraph with quotation marks Lyx or Lyx user gets confused. There should be an option to insert a 'logical R2L'-symbol to control teh paragraph main direction. General: === * Somtimes, just a cursor movement causes reformatting! It should not. But even then - it is not undo-able. regards -- yotam
Re: Lyx: Hebrew quotes
I'm trying to format a word like LaTeX and TeX can be written. How can I find out how to format letters (like that tiny capital A in LaTeX?) and make it easy to use in LyX? I have Lamports book but didn't see it. A page number would be fine. -J -- Jonathan Pennington | http://coastalgeology.org Site Manager| Protection and stewardship CoastalGeology.Org (CGO)| through public education.

Why do you want to have these quotes? In Hebrew, identical quotes marks are used, and this is exactly what LyX generates when you use the " key. * When starting a Hebrew paragraph with quotation marks Lyx or Lyx user gets confused. There should be an option to insert a 'logical R2L'-symbol to control teh paragraph main direction. More generally, you need the language of the paragraph to be different then the language of the first character in the paragraph. The solution: go to the start of the paragraph, select the desired paragraph language (using the character style popup, or in your case with F12), and insert a note inset.

This is a quick and easy solution, BUT it will be much more obvious to anyone to use a paragraph language forcing symbol than this method, it is very impractical to use notes they don't convey the reason they are there. A special symbol (inset) to force the language of the paragraph will be much better. -- Baruch Even http://techst02.technion.ac.il/~sbaruch/ (My Site) http://rpghost.com/jindor/ (My brothers ADD site) " Learn to laugh ... it's the path to true love!
