collapsable vs. collapsible
Hi, this is so wide spread that I hesitate to sent a patch. I: lyx: spelling-error-in-binary ./usr/bin/lyx collapsable collapsible I: lyx: spelling-error-in-binary ./usr/bin/tex2lyx collapsable collapsible It's even in a file name src/insets/InsetCollapsable.cpp. Is someone interested to fix this in the internal parts aswell?

Both spellings appear to be acceptable, at least according to some dictionaries. The OED gives only collapsible, but lists collapsable as the earliest occurence, in 1845. Random House and American Heritage give both spellings. The i version seems to be preferred, however. Richard

Hi Enrico, I: lyx: spelling-error-in-binary ./usr/bin/lyx collapsable collapsible I: lyx: spelling-error-in-binary ./usr/bin/tex2lyx collapsable collapsible It's even in a file name src/insets/InsetCollapsable.cpp. Is someone interested to fix this in the internal parts aswell? What's the problem? My dictionary claims they are equivalent. dict.leo.org and my oldschool Oxford advanced learners dictionary only know about 'collapsible'. I've no idea what's the authority for english spelling (Germany has something called 'Duden'). I don't know, either. What about using 'foldable' instead.
