Andre'> automatically?

I assume that reLyX could handle that with a special flag. I've always
hated german.sty for such a stupid convention. It is a great pain in
LyX (along with spanish.sty brilliant ~n convention...).

Andre'> Next thing, lots of ERT. She uses lots of self-defined makros

Andre'> replaced by 'native' LyX, like \newcommand{\p}{\partial}.
Andre'> Anyway, doing this manually is awful (I know, perl is my

Andre'> 'simple' macros could be expanded automatically? Or is it

Andre'> \newcommand{\iuh}[1]{I_h u^{#1} - u_h^{#1}}

Andre'> i.e. typing <something>iuh<#1> produces {I_h u^{#1} -
Andre'> u_h^{#1}} ?

Mathed does have support for math macros (but you already know that,
don't you?). However, reLyX is not able to translate macros on-the-fly
for mathed.

I do not think so...

Andre'> Lastly, the killer: Equations (don't ask me why anybody would
Andre'> want to fill three pages with a single equation... she does it

Andre'> fit nicely on paper) Now there seems to be no way to access
Andre'> the 'invisible' parts by means of a horizontal scrollbar or
Andre'> something like that. This, of course, make editing the stuff a
Andre'> mess. Has anybody an idea how to work around this one?

It was possible in the old 1.1 branch. So I guess it will be added one
day. (there was a scrollbar for tables too, I think).
