You might also consider the todonotes package. There are two user-contributed modules available for this on the wiki. Same for the pdfcomment package that lets you input real PDF annotations. http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Modules#toc2 Jürgen

[Helge] Why did you download from CTAN? To get a special version? Debian has texlive within its package system. So the standard way of installing texlive on Debian, is something like: apt-get install texlive If you want *all* of texlive, even the lesser used stuff: apt-get install texlive-full This command will both download and install texlive. Texlive will then work, without any further action. [Marcelo] Thanks, but the version that comes with Debian is 2007!, is so old that when I am going to print, it asks to me that puts a clay tablet ;-) In this old version, babel only came with sumerian and hittite ;-) Regards Marcelo > Yahoo!

LyX de-activates the special use of the tilde (~) in Spanish in order to
keep it as no-break-space::
spanish spanish "Spanish" false iso8859-15 es_ES
"\addto\shorthandsspanish{\spanishdeactivate{~<>}}"
You might try with "+--- marked up as ERT (raw latex). Write the
commmand, select it and press Ctrl-L.

Because in some languages " is an "active character" (similar to
\) and hence it's saver to export it as \textquotedbl{}.

Well, why then would TeX call it \textquotedbl ?

No. Unicode says
Character '"' (34, 0x22)
0022QUOTATION MARK
* neutral (vertical), used as opening or closing quotation mark
* preferred characters in English for paired quotation marks are
201C & 201D
it is related but not the same as
x (modifier letter double prime - 02BA)
x (combining double acute accent - 030B)
x (combining double vertical line above - 030E)
x (double prime - 2033)
x (ditto mark - 3003)
and it's also *not*
2033DOUBLE PRIME
= seconds, inches

As a workaround, you can use the \footnotemark{} \footnotetext{}
command pair in raw LaTeX (ERT) insets.

constructs, providing sample input (and preferabely expected output).

You might want to try whether htlatex supports the polynom package
with a "manual" conversion (export to LaTeX and call htlatex from the
command line) first. Or instead of uninstalling elyxer, define htlatex
as an alternative HMTL converter in Tools>Settings.

you will have the choice between all instlled HTML exporters by default
