Fabulous. This could address one of THE most common concerns about LyX.
I'll have a look, too.
That looks very interesting, Helge!
Is the plan to integrate this into LyX itself? I'd imagine that it would
become a dialog in the Qt frontend, no? Would require that it be re-written in
C++ of course, but that's probably trivial.
I don't know if this porting to C++ is so trivial, especially when
I'm not that familiar with either C++ or java. C is what I do best.
My plan so far is to make this run on linux . That is supposed to
be easy enough - just install java runtime stuff. Then I'll
have a look at what is missing - currently this program don't
support every .layout construct and so it refuse to load the
files distributed by lyx for example.
So it'll be a standalone thing for now. I hope I at least can
get it into a useful state though.
