Yes to all. I am 1.72 meters tall has 5 words, I say.
Inline math could/should count as one word.
Display-math and similar environments might not be trivial.
Therefore one could either give several results after the count, e.g.:
basic text: 2066 words
+ figure captions: 2134 words
+ math display: 2223 words
+ what ever: 2342 words
or have a count-dialog that has checkboxes for en/disable each of
these count options.
I'm sure many people would use such a tool, even though it only
givew a rough indication about the number of words.

Rob.

I is a word, i.e. is two words (id est). Isolated a and b are
one word each, the formula is one word in total. Can we say that when
TeX math mode is invoked on a passage of text, the result constitutes
a word? (This paragraph has 51 words.)
The best solution is probably to use roughly the same treatment as
other word processors so you can stay more or less compatible with
what people mean when they ask you for a 1000-word article.
So how does Word treat this?

A pragmatic definition of a word is:
- every letter or combination of letters which is separated against
other letters or combination of letters with 'space', '\space', '~'
or '\,'
Of course you can start a wild linguistic debate about that (and you
would never come to a solution, as far as I know the linguistic
literature ;), but IMHO this simple definition is sufficient.

Consider asking some journals how they count. I guess their real worry
is
space, and a math formula may fill a lot. Either don't count it at all,
(it is a picture) or estimate how many average words might fit in the

\mapsto, depth of subscripts, height of superscripts
Hallo,
I found the following mistakes in math:
\mapsto is not written on screen (but in file). The other arrows from the math
panel work fine.
The expression $M_{\mathfrak{B}}$ is correctly written on file. After reload,
the } after B is in the normal line on the screen, however, it will be correctly
written.
The expression $M_{\mathfrak{B}\in N}$ is written as $M_{\mathfrak{B\}in N}$.
Moreover, I think the depth or height of subscripts or superscripts is too
large.

Re: dialogs-stay-on-top and iconize-dialogs policy given up in CVS ???
Angus, Having this windowing behaviour as an option in the preferences sounds really cool! I don't know of any applications that have this fancy windowing in the preferences dialog. Will it actually work, I mean to instantly change the windowing behaviour by apply-ing this option in the preferences. We then need a variable, instead of the 0 or FL_TRANSIENT, in the fl_show_form, that can be modified by the preferences. Qt and Gnome should also use that same varialbe, to pick up this windowing behaviour. I may give this a go, but I probably will get stuck really soon. Very cool idea though! Rob.

mathed wishlist --- almost supported already?
Two more wishlist items that appear to be almost officically supported
already:
1. If I right as normal text \mathcal{B}, highlight it and convert it to math
with M-c m, I get a nicely typeset B. It'd be nice to do this directly in
mathed too. I _can_ type \mathcal B within mathed and the resulting dvi is
correct, but I don't get the visual feedback.
On the same lines, if I type \mathtt{Angus} and then paste it into mathed:
beautiful. Do the same within mathed and only the A is typeset. Perhaps
these font commands should use the macro display mechanism?
2. This convert normal text to math is great. I can go the other way
using the X clipboard (ie highlight it and then paste with the middle mouse
button WITHOUT saving it to LyX's buffer). But this is a fudge of course.
This effectively becomes a TeX mode for mathed, so that I can
see exactly what I type. It'd be nice if we could toggle officially.

The super/subscript display stuff is still broken. I know that...
The problem is: I need contextual information when drawing it, which is

move part of the drawing stuff to from the inset to the xarray where this
contextual information is available. [\underbrace{ss}_x displays

these font commands should use the macro display mechanism?
That would be the easy implementation, however it is a pain if you want
glueing, i.e. thing like \mathtt{A}n\mathtt{g} and remove the 'n'...
2. This convert normal text to math is great.
Shshsh... nobody knows I sneaked that in...
I can go the other way using the X clipboard (ie highlight it and then
paste with the middle mouse button WITHOUT saving it to LyX's buffer).
But this is a fudge of course.
Sure.
This effectively becomes a TeX mode for mathed, so that I can see
exactly what I type. It'd be nice if we could toggle officially.
I would have to mess around with stuff outside mathed for that...

With the previous version of reLyX, try

Confirmed.
In fact, if the subscript is empty, then the empty box seems to be at a
correct position. But when you insert a char to the subscript, the subscript
is moved down.
In fact, when creating a new math insert, after inserting one char, the
inset becomes taller, so the current line and the lines below are moved down.
The super/subscript display stuff is still broken. I know that...
The problem is: I need contextual information when drawing it, which is
not available to the MathScriptInset. And I am still somewhat reluctant to
move part of the drawing stuff to from the inset to the xarray where this
contextual information is available. [\underbrace{ss}_x displays
incorrectly for similar reasons btw]
Otoh, I am doing something similar already for writing when
\mathrm{a}\mathrm{b} is collapsed to \mathrm{ab}...
Does anybody know what TeX is doing? It needs to keep the size of some
thing left of the script around... what kind of thing is that?
I might know what TeX is doing, but I don't know what you're asking ;-)
TeX, when it typesets a subscript, goes back and looks at the last
'atom' in the current math list. Exactly where it puts the subscript
depends on what type of atom that last was.

Yes to all. "I am 1.72 meters tall" has 5 words, I say.
Inline math could/should count as one word.
Display-math and similar environments might not be trivial.
Therefore one could either give several results after the count, e.g.:
basic text: 2066 words
+ figure captions: 2134 words
+ math display: 2223 words
+ : 2342 words
or have a count-dialog that has checkboxes for en/disable each of
these count options.
I'm sure many people would use such a tool, even though it only
givew a rough indication about the number of words.

Rob.

I is a word, i.e. is two words ("id est"). Isolated "a" and "b" are
one word each, the formula is one word in total. Can we say that when
TeX math mode is invoked on a passage of text, the result constitutes
a word? (This paragraph has 51 words.)
The best solution is probably to use roughly the same treatment as
other word processors so you can stay more or less compatible with
what people mean when they ask you for a 1000-word article.
So how does Word treat this?

"i.e." are two words ("id est") and should be typed i.\,e.
A pragmatic definition of a word is:
- every letter or combination of letters which is separated against
other letters or combination of letters with '', '\', '~'
or '\,'
Of course you can start a wild linguistic debate about that (and you
would never come to a solution, as far as I know the linguistic
literature ;), but IMHO this simple definition is sufficient.

Consider asking some journals how they count. I guess their real worry
is
space, and a math formula may fill a lot. Either don't count it at all,
(it is a "picture") or estimate how many average words might fit in the
same space.

Then forget me igniting this differgence. "i.e." as two words is fine with me!!!
I would say start of with something and then see if that needs any
fine tuning. However, most people will be happy with a rough word count.
Discussions as whether "i.e." is one or two words are not essential to
most people who will use it for getting some idea of the number of words.

Well, Rob, the code in question is to be found in frontends/xforms. You're looking for the show method in both FormBase.C and FormBaseDeprecated.C where you'll find: fl_show_form(form(), FL_PLACE_MOUSE | FL_FREE_SIZE, 0, title_.c_str()); To obtain the windowing policy that you want, change that to fl_show_form(form(), FL_PLACE_MOUSE | FL_FREE_SIZE, FL_TRANSIENT, title_.c_str()); If you want to get this into the repository, however, then you'd better befine a lyxrc variable, perhaps bool iconify_daughters_on_iconify We'd also need a check button in the Preferences->Look & Feel->Interface tab.

\mapsto, depth of subscripts, height of superscripts
Hallo,
I found the following mistakes in math:
\mapsto is not written on screen (but in file). The other arrows from the math
panel work fine.
The expression $M_{\mathfrak{B}}$ is correctly written on file. After reload,
the } after B is in the normal line on the screen, however, it will be correctly
written.
The expression $M_{\mathfrak{B}\in N}$ is written as $M_{\mathfrak{B\}in N}$.
Moreover, I think the depth or height of subscripts or superscripts is too
large.

Re: dialogs-stay-on-top and iconize-dialogs policy given up in CVS ???
Angus, Having this windowing behaviour as an option in the preferences sounds really cool! I don't know of any applications that have this fancy windowing in the preferences dialog. Will it actually work, I mean to instantly change the windowing behaviour by -ing this option in the preferences. We then need a variable, instead of the 0 or FL_TRANSIENT, in the fl_show_form, that can be modified by the preferences. Qt and Gnome should also use that same varialbe, to pick up this windowing behaviour. I may give this a go, but I probably will get stuck really soon. Very cool idea though! Rob.

Confirmed. However, $M_{\mathcal{B}}$ and $M_{\mathcal{B}\in N}$ do not have
this problem (note that the \mathcal command is recognized by lyx,
while \mathfrak is not)
mathed wishlist --- almost supported already?
Two more wishlist items that appear to be "almost" officically supported
already:
1. If I right as normal text \mathcal{B}, highlight it and convert it to math
with M-c m, I get a nicely typeset B. It'd be nice to do this directly in
mathed too. I _can_ type "\mathcal B " within mathed and the resulting dvi is
correct, but I don't get the visual feedback.
On the same lines, if I type \mathtt{Angus} and then paste it into mathed:
beautiful. Do the same within mathed and only the "A" is typeset. Perhaps
these font commands should use the macro display mechanism?
2. This convert "normal" text to "math" is great. I can go the other way
using the X clipboard (ie highlight it and then paste with the middle mouse
button WITHOUT saving it to LyX's buffer). But this is a fudge of course.
This effectively becomes a "TeX" mode for mathed, so that I can
see exactly what I type. It'd be nice if we could toggle "officially".

The super/subscript display stuff is still broken. I know that...
The problem is: I need "contextual" information when drawing it, which is
not available to the MathScriptInset. And I am still somewhat reluctant to
move part of the drawing stuff to from the inset to the xarray where this
contextual information is available. [\underbrace{ss}_x displays
incorrectly for similar reasons btw]
Otoh, I am doing something similar already for writing when
\mathrm{a}\mathrm{b} is "collapsed" to \mathrm{ab}...
Does anybody know what TeX is doing? It needs to keep the size of some
"thing" left of the script around... what kind of "thing" is that?
