hi guys, i've been looking at decimal alignment in tables
to do so i need to find the decimal separator in the inset and replace it with an '&' in the latex output or append an '&' if no decimal separator was found i have two problems that i need to solve the first is that inset->latex(os, newrp) writes the latex code to the file whereas i would like to write it to a string so that i can do my replacing/appending above. a pointer to how i might achieve this is appreciated the second complication is that the inset might contain environments and that i do not want to split those. suggestions on how to approach this would also be welcome thanks, ed.
