Hi, I was wondering if anyone has thought of the following idea: Typically, when writing documents, any acronyms, (ie FIR for Finite Impulse Response), on first usage must be written in full followed by the acronym in short.
Is it possible, that a key-stroke be made identifying the desire for the insert of an acronym, (say FIR), then the user would type the acronym, followed by a space key indicating the end of the acronym. When generating the document, lyx or latex would then look this up on a list of acronyms, and on the first occurence, expand out the meaning in full, then for all occurence following use the appropriate acronym. This could be handy when multiple people are working on a document, and saves having to search for all the acronyms, also for cutting and pasting text... etc. and also allow control of weather to re-describe per chapter, and greater customization... This may have already been done, but in case it hasn't I thought I'd ask... Pierre
