Thank you both, Paul and Helge, for your complete explanations!
I understood why the source view, in LyX, doesn't operate like a "code mode" yet. Nevertheless, to work on the exported LaTeX I'm not convinced that a "simple text editor" is the best solution, even if for tweaking or fine tunning. I think that it is always agreeable to have some basic help on the fly, when editing code, like code highlighting, code folding, or code assistance/completion. I've only tried LEd for a couple of hours, but it seems that it doesn't use/recognize the same packages and/or classes than LyX and that it introduces changes in LaTeX code when it compiles it for previewing (as I'm still a complete newbie in all this, I hope I have not misunderstood it). I'm inclined to use TeXlipse, as I'm already used to work with Eclipse, but I would like to know your views about this... Which code editor, if any, would you recommend to edit LaTeX? Preferably one that doesn't mess, or messes as little as possible, with what LyX does.
I'm on Win XP. Thanks! Roberto --------------------- Paul A. Rubin wrote:
Typically, I think, the sort of LaTeX tweaking you have in mind is something I would do in preparation for a final draft, not during the writing of the document. So I would be content to export to LaTeX, edit the LaTeX in a simple text editor, and go that route.
