Typesetting abbrevations and possible LyX automagics

2000-03-17 Thread Frank Mahler

Hi there!

I just had a discussion on how to typeset abbrevations in TeX in the
german group de.comp.text.tex. In german you should set the abbrevation
z. B. as follows:

   here starts the text z.\,B.\ here comes the rest of the text...

So in LyX I have to mark \, and \[space] as ERT (evil red text), to get
good looking results, esp. regarding multicolumn environments with
justified borders...

I would like a special feature in LyX that typesets these abbrevations
automatically. This could be quite nifty! (Unfortunately this only seems
a nice feature for german typesetting, because in english texts, e.g.
abbrevations are typset "compressed")

Good idea (TM) or to bad to programme? Please tell me what you think.

TIA,
 Frank
