Hi Alex,

while fixing eLyXer support in the LyX Windows installer, I noticed that eLyXer
does not yet support advanced coloring. So this is an enhancement request what
you can perhaps support, although that LyX does not yet support natively:

- the command \rowcolor, \rowcolors and \cellcolor (see the attached testfile
  and EmbeddedObjects manual, sec. 2.11)
- the dvipsnames colors, see appendix C of the EmbeddedObjects manual

Thanks a lot for your ideas. Unfortunately I don't have all the time that I would like to work on eLyXer, so I cannot commit to support them. I am copying the eLyXer list in case anyone from the community wants to take a shot at them; I hope you don't mind.

FWIW, eLyXer now lives on git:
  https://github.com/alexfernandez/elyxer/

so it is even easier than before to fork it and start hacking :)

 

------------

The first beta version of LyX 2.1 will be released within the next month. Features
of LyX 2.1 that might be worth to look at for eLyXer are
(http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX21):

- table rotations
- \caption*
- \fbox and \mbox
- \cancel, \bcancel, \xcancel and \cancelto
- maybe some of the new math commands

I will try to add support for some of them. Table rotations make no sense on web pages.

Alex.
