Spellchecking in Australian English

The authors of aspell must be really parochial. To them, English means American, Canadian is a distinct language, and British English just does not exist. There are dictionaries for languages with a smaller user base than British English. I am writing a family history in Australian English,

Re: Spellchecking in Australian English

That isn't what is in the drop-down spelling config. I can have English or Canadian. If I choose English, I get U.S. spellings, and British is flagged as errors. That is certainly not enough. Perhaps aspell can be influenced by my Locale settings, but LyX blocks that. Certainly I can have

Changing default fonts.

I am writing a book. I sent my publisher a sample of what I had written in LyX (using the koma book template,) and he likes the appearance. But he disagrees with some fonts. He tells me that quotations and URLs should be in italics. Quotations are in default font like blockquotes, and URLs

New way for SVG graphics

All Happy LyX Users, I would like to share with you my new method of handling SVG graphics from LyX to pdflatex. I've just tested this method and it works pretty nice. I had some issues with my early-betas of Inkscape, and this new method solved my problem. I tried to use Apache Batik, which
