Hi there!
This might be a wild development idea for future LyX enhancement, but I
really can think of a portable LyX editor for my Palm Vx. Using it, I'd
be able to create or edit small LyX documents without the need to
convert from ASCII to LyX and back...
Obviously, math typesetting and WYSIWYM display is a problem (bold text
is possible on Palm, italics are not?), but this might be "overkill".
Are there any plans to port LyX to such platforms? Or is there perhaps
another "workaround"? I can think of a LyX to ASCII and ASCII to LyX
application that is able to synchronize between concurrent updates, in a
way, that I'd be able to export my LyX document to an editor application
on my palm, edit it there and convert it back to a LyX document.
Obviously I'd not be able to create formulas and/or insert graphics
using this method, but that'll be not that important, at least for me.
What do you think of this idea? Illusion?
(BTW: I've heard some whistles on Qt for Console, perhaps, this is an
option further to PalmOS when the GUI-independent LyX comes true in the
near future?!)
Let the discussion begin... :-)
... Frank
