Hello, I would like to work on XML support for LyX again. I had reached a point where I could write and read files before my long holidays . I still need to work a lot on the mathed part since it uses specific code to read its data. But first, I need to sync back with LyX development, should I u

Hello, I have currently reached the point where I can read back XML-Lyx data (fonts, tables and a few simple things). But it seems that there are many things I do not understand : - why is NEW_INSETS not the default ? - when I define NEW_INSETS, I cannot create frames anymore. This is trouble

Hello, As I thought the original code by Juergen was also wrong it should be as follows (I do the diff by hand, sorry): os << "\n\n"; +"/>\n\n"; You could also write : + ">\n\n"; Which is equivalent but somewhat more verbose. Sincerely, P.O. Gaillar

Writing to XML : sample output

2000-10-12 Thread Gaillard Pierre-Olivier
Hello, Here is a sample output of the new XML output I have added to my LyX copy. This has been produced by a patched version of LyX that uses XMLSAXPrettifier (which at the moment does not make pretty output, so please bear with the poor formatting). I have added XMLWrite methods to classes tha
