-Rules for the use of popups
-===========================
-
-We need to have some rules in order to keep LyX enjoyable to use.  This
-document describes the rules for designing popups.  Please obey the rules.
-If you don't do it correctly, somebody else has to fix it for you, and we 
-don't like to waste time because you were lazy.  So, read it now, design 
-your popups, and come back and check if your new popup is in compliance.
-
-Internationalization
---------------------
-
-We need some rules to be followed so that popups and short-cuts will
-work properly with regard to internationalization and gettext.
-
-We have made a method to make the shortcuts in xforms work correctly with
-internationalizationed shortcuts. We concat the label and the shortcut like 
-this:
-
-	<ident>|<shortcut>  (where <ident> often is a label)
-
-And have made two funcs to extract that info: scex and idex
-(shortcut-extract and ident-extract). To minimize the translation effort 
-you should use stuff like:
-
-	fl_add_object(<params>, idex(_("<ident>|<shortcut>")));
-	fl_set_shortcut(<obj>, scex(_("<ident>|<shortcut>")));
-
-Make sure the two texts are identical, such that gettext will join them.
-
-This will also help use make the labels and shortcuts consistent across 
-all the dialogs.
-
-Some <ident>|<shortcuts> pairs have been decided:
-
-1. Most popups have at least three buttons in common:
-
-	- OK		No shortcut in the usual case (it is a return button)
-	- Apply		"Apply|#A"
-	- Cancel	"Cancel|^[" (This is the escape key)
-			You can optionally use "Cancel|#C^[" also.
-	- Close		Either return-button, "Close|^[" or "Close|#C^[".
-
-Design rules
-------------
-
-1) Remember that you have to add this function to your form definition:
-
-		fl_set_form_atclose(form, CancelCloseBoxCB, NULL);
-
-   to prevent crashes when the users close the popup with the window manager.
-   You need to #include "lyx_gui_misc.h" to get CancelCloseBoxCB.
-
-More will follow...
-
-NB! If any of the shortcut keys is a part of the label and you want it to
-be underlined in the label, that character must be the _first_ in the
-accelerator string (allthough it may be an alt-key etc). Case _sensitive_.
-  Apply|Pp#p#P     won't get an underlined 'p'
-  Apply|GpaAP      won't either.
-  Apply|aA         nope
-  Apply|pP#p#P     will underline the first 'p'
-  Apply|Aa         will underline the 'A'
-  Apply|#Aa        will also underline the 'A'!
-See the docs for xforms... (fl_set_shortcut() etc)
-It seems xforms .86 doesn't recognise 128+ chars as shortcuts. (not with
-fl_set_shortcut() anyway)  /Joacim
