Dear LyX developers
I am a very happy and enthusiastic LyX user. A student at social science
("International Development Studies" and "Department of Technology and
Social Science" at Roskilde University, Danmark). LyX is just the thing
for me. I am running Linux and want something for doing complex
reports/thesis without missing with LaTeX in Emacs. And LyX is just the
thing for me!
I am going to recommend LyX to all my fellow students at non-technical
educations as "the application we have all been waiting for". The ultimate
alternative to MS-Word and Endnote. I am so happy with LyX that I am
writing a "Linux in Academia" book for non-technical students and
scientists about the potentials of Linux for doing academic work. Here I
present LyX as "The big thing". The book is currently in development and
only in Danish:
<http://cvs.linuxbog.dk/forsker/bog/index.html.php>
But... there is one thing I really, really miss in LyX. Something I almost
cannot forgive the lack of...
I need a kind of "spell as you type" / "fly-spell" feature in LyX. A
spell checker based on ispell/aspell that simply underline
misspelled/unknown words with a red line. Something similar to what I am
used to from MS-Word, Ooo-Writer etc. I am sure this is something that
will make a lot of (potential) users happy.
Please! Give me the feature I am waiting for. Give me the feature that
will make LyX evangelism much easier.
How are chances for implementing such a spell checker in the upcoming
version of LyX?
... And happy new year! -)
