New features
|
|
||||||
============
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
** Qt frontend
|
What's new in version 1.4.0?
|
||||||
|
----------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is of course the most visible new feature. This frontend supports
|
** Improved user interface
|
||||||
either Qt 2.x or 3.x and is mostly feature complete. Note that some
|
|
||||||
of the dialogs are slightly different in design, but are generally
|
|
||||||
functionally equivalent.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
** Xforms frontend
|
LyX 1.4 has a re-designed layout for the menus, designed to decrease
|
||||||
|
clutter and maximise productivity. Several menu items (in the Edit
|
||||||
|
menu) are now context-sensitive, so they only appear when needed. For
|
||||||
|
the die-hard old LyX users, the older layout (referred to as the
|
||||||
|
classic UI) is still available, for now.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The advent of the Qt frontend does not mean that the historical xforms
|
It's now possible to define multiple toolbars as seen in other
|
||||||
frontend is dead. Actually, it is still the one which is the best
|
editors. By default, the new LyX release has two toolbars displayed,
|
||||||
implemented, because we have had more time to polish it. In this release,
|
the standard one (similar to the static toolbar in LyX 1.3), plus the
|
||||||
most of the dialogs have been redesigned to be tighter.
|
extra toolbar. In addition, there are two pre-defined toolbars
|
||||||
|
available: one for tables, and one for math.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note also that the xforms library has been very recently updated to
|
Another new feature worth mentioning is popup toolbars: you can set a
|
||||||
version 1.0. This version has been released under the LGPL (Lesser
|
toolbar such that it only appears when editing math, or when editing a
|
||||||
General Public License), and the availability of the source means that
|
table.
|
||||||
many bugs that have been plaguing LyX have been fixed in xforms. You
|
|
||||||
are advised to upgrade to xforms 1.0 to enjoy all these new fixes.
|
|
||||||
In fact, LyX 1.3.0 no longer supports versions of xforms older than 0.89.5.
|
|
||||||
Moreover, support for xforms older than 1.0 will be removed in the next
|
|
||||||
release. You have been warned ;-)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In most cases the dialogs have been designed to make it impossible to input
|
** Change tracking
|
||||||
invalid parameters. The exception to this rule is the input of length data.
|
|
||||||
Power LaTeX users can still input obtuse "glue lengths", but the widgets are
|
|
||||||
highlighted in red if this input is invalid or incomplete. This visual
|
|
||||||
feedback makes it easy to see why LyX won't allow you to Apply your changes.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
** Gnome frontend
|
This new feature, similar to that found in Microsoft Word and others,
|
||||||
|
makes collaboration on a document a cinch. It provides a way to track
|
||||||
|
changes made to a document, and later approve, reject, or modify such
|
||||||
|
changes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Unfortunately, the development of the Gnome frontend has mostly
|
** Much better conversion from .tex to .lyx
|
||||||
stopped recently and we have therefore chosen to disable it. We
|
|
||||||
strongly invite anyone willing to revive this port to volunteer on the
|
|
||||||
developer's list.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
** Instant preview
|
The ancient and unloved Perl script, reLyX has finally bitten the dust
|
||||||
|
and been replaced by the brand new and shiny tex2lyx. tex2lyx's LaTeX
|
||||||
|
parser follows most of the rules of the real TeX and so is already
|
||||||
|
much more powerful than reLyX ever was.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
preview-latex is an emacs package for LaTeX that allows "instant previews"
|
** Character styles
|
||||||
of LaTeX code, so you can immediately see the visual rendering of the
|
|
||||||
LaTeX in the document. Its project home page can be found at
|
|
||||||
http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex. With the help of David
|
|
||||||
Kastrup, the author, LyX 1.3.0 can harness this functionality to
|
|
||||||
allow instant previews in the LyX window of math equations and
|
|
||||||
figures. This feature can be immensely useful, ensuring that the
|
|
||||||
rendering of your equation will look right in the final output. The
|
|
||||||
preview is only displayed (if enabled) when you're not editing the
|
|
||||||
actual equation, so it's unobtrusive too.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
** Math editor
|
For a system that purports to make it easy to write documents full of
|
||||||
|
logical (as opposed to visual markup), LyX has always had one glaring
|
||||||
There have been a few visible and some not-so-visible changes. On the
|
omission: no character styles. LyX 1.4 goes some way towards
|
||||||
visible side we have better visual feedback regarding the structure of
|
addressing this defect, although there's no dialog to define your own
|
||||||
a formula, showing the nesting by small purple decorations in the
|
styles.
|
||||||
formula itself and revealing the names of the nesting levels in the
|
|
||||||
minibuffer. There is now native support for symbols from the wasy
|
|
||||||
package containing e.g. the zodiac symbols. New also is the internal
|
** Branches
|
||||||
structure of font changes which are now proper "insets", just like
|
|
||||||
anything else from a square root to an array. This not only simplifies
|
The teacher who's setting an exam obviously doesn't want her pupils
|
||||||
the code greatly but also allows the same editing tricks as for the
|
seeing the answers, yet having questions and answers in the same
|
||||||
"regular" math. However, it was not possible to tweak the visible
|
document will make the life of the markers of that exam much easier.
|
||||||
behaviour to mimic 1.2 in all cases, so this might take some time to
|
|
||||||
get accustomed to. On the pro side, the new structure allowed
|
That's just one example of someone who would benefit from LyX's new
|
||||||
support for LaTeX's \mbox and \fbox to be implemented and general
|
"branches" feature. In fact, anyone who writes documents which have
|
||||||
"switching back to text mode within math", so a lot of "evil red text"
|
more than one target audience will find this feature useful.
|
||||||
trickery is not needed anymore. The most visible changes are the following:
|
|
||||||
|
** Minipages evolve to Boxes
|
||||||
- Pressing { and } will insert LaTeX's \{ and \} which show up as { }
|
|
||||||
in the printout. To get LaTeX's {} nesting, you need to type \{.
|
In 1.3, LyX only had native support for plain minipages. Now you can
|
||||||
|
use a wide range of box types and decorations directly from the LyX
|
||||||
- Fonts changes now really nest. Repeated application of a font change
|
GUI
|
||||||
will result in nested font changes! To remove a font change without
|
|
||||||
removing the "contents", it is now possible to "pull the argument"
|
** Notes
|
||||||
like in other insets, i.e. put the cursor in the first position of
|
|
||||||
the inset and press 'backspace'.
|
LyX now has three different Notes for you to add to your document from
|
||||||
|
the Insert>Note menu:
|
||||||
** Reading old files
|
|
||||||
|
- the "LyX Note" is not exported to LaTeX, as now. The "Comment" is
|
||||||
LyX now has a new script lyx2lyx which enables the reading of any file
|
- exported to LaTeX as a comment environment and is not processed
|
||||||
produced by LyX versions as old as 0.12. Work is in progress on files
|
further.
|
||||||
created with LyX 0.10 (LyX 1.4 time-line) and still older files are
|
- The Greyed Out note is visible in your PostScript or PDF output as,
|
||||||
in the forge. Basically if lyx wrote it LyX will read it. :-)
|
well, greyed-out text.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There is also a strong demand to be able to read files produced by
|
** Better language and numbering on screen
|
||||||
_newer_ versions of LyX. While lyx2lyx has the infrastructure in place
|
|
||||||
to do such things, the filters to `downgrade' LyX files (from 1.3.0 to
|
Two features help to make the screen rendering closer to the printed output:
|
||||||
1.2.x, for example) have not yet been written.
|
|
||||||
|
- the labels attached to layouts like Chapter are now translated in
|
||||||
** Miscellaneous changes
|
the language of the document, which may be different from the
|
||||||
|
language of the menus;
|
||||||
- LyX now automatically uses TeX fonts for screen rendering of math
|
- sectioning headers and theorems are now numbered according to the
|
||||||
equations if they are available (it is not necessary anymore to
|
document class specifications.
|
||||||
configure your font server).
|
|
||||||
|
** Word count
|
||||||
- The Insert>Short Title allows the addition of an optional text
|
|
||||||
for section headings and captions that is designed to be used in
|
Yes, it's finally there! Tools>Count Words will give you a word
|
||||||
tables of contents.
|
count of the document or of the current selection.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- The Insert>Float>Floatflt Figure menu item restores the ability
|
** Error Lists
|
||||||
to wrap text around an image which was present in 1.1.6 and
|
|
||||||
removed in 1.2.0
|
Nasty "error boxes" were eliminated in favor of a dialog with a list
|
||||||
|
of errors popping up at compilation time.
|
||||||
- If you configure with --with-pspell (which uses the PSpell library for
|
|
||||||
spellchecking), you will be able to automatically spell-check
|
** Improved bibliography support
|
||||||
multi-language documents, assuming you have the right dictionaries
|
|
||||||
installed.
|
- LyX's support for natbib has been enhanced. Now, also the mysterious
|
||||||
|
"before citation" field is supported;
|
||||||
|
- We have added support for jurabib, an amazing package to produce
|
||||||
|
flexible citations that are especially well suited for the humanities
|
||||||
|
and law fields;
|
||||||
|
- Support for sectioned bibliographies (bibtopic) has been added;
|
||||||
|
- the way bibtex is called is now customizable (as is the way the
|
||||||
|
index processor is invoked).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Improved microtypography support
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
LyX aims to produce superior typography. With 1.4, it supports:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- more blank characters (e.g. a "thin space", which should stand here
|
||||||
|
between "e." and "g.");
|
||||||
|
- inner and outer quotation marks without the hassle of toggling the
|
||||||
|
style in the documents dialog. Just use the Alt key.
|
||||||
|
- the handling of figure and table alignment inside floats has been
|
||||||
|
improved. You can now use the paragraph dialog without getting too
|
||||||
|
much space between figure/table and caption.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Small bits
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Figure and table floats can be rotated sideways
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The external xfig inset has been improved especially with regard to
|
||||||
|
pdf generation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The graphics inset dialog has now an "edit" button that allows to
|
||||||
|
edit the included figure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- For index generation, xindy can be used instead of makeindex, which
|
||||||
|
has poor support for other than English index sorting.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Bug fixes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Lots of long-lasting bugs have been fixed, as documented in LyX
|
||||||
|
bugzilla. Probably some new ones have been introduced instead ;-)

You can read more about this concept in the documentation,

LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great,

right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting

What is LyX not?

On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output

-- or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced --
|
||||||
|
looks like nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland
|

|
.docs, all looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out
|

|
unpredictably different on different printer drivers. Gone are the

crashes 'eating' your dissertation the evening before going to

press.

a little time to get used to the differences.

Unpack it and run it. We recommend unpacking it in /usr/local,

in a temporary directory 'my_bin' before installing permanently

by typing "my_bin/lyx".
