Hi,
Why couldn't LyX allow the user to type 2 spaces between sentences and 1
space between words? It's frustrating to read over the text written in
LyX and have the sentences all squashed together.
When I prepare a text file for LaTeX, I can type 2 (or more) spaces
between sentences, and LaTeX doesn't care. It simply ignores that extra
white space ( so long as I don't put an extra blank line, indicating the
end of the paragraph).
Why not after, say, 3 or 5 spaces, display the little message: "You do
realize that LyX will just ignore this extra white space when formatting
your document, don't you?" That way, the user would be duly informed,
but would also be free to use extra spaces for readability. Why must
the user be forced to use exactly one space between sentences?
thanks,
Laura
