- make template compilable
- update it according to the latest AEA guidelines
- add 4 missing styles to the layout:
* \keywords
* \JEL
* figurenotes environment
* tablenotes environment
Before, only PDFs were being generated so latex did not compile.
Now, both PDF and EPS files are generated.
This is not efficient but could save the user some pain, which is
the goal of templates.
An alternative would be to set the default output to use pdflatex.
The layout now takes care of \begin{article} and \end{article}
by using \AtBeginDocument and \AtEndDocument.
This cleans up the template a little by removing some ERT. The
user no longer needs to read the two notes explaining why the
ERT boxes were necessary. The user also does not need to think
about why this LaTeX environment exists.
The default citation capability of LaTeX is not a true numerical
citation engine, rather it uses a mixture of labels/numbers. Thus
we now distinguish them: "numerical" always increments the bibitem
counter and uses its value as a numerical citation label, while
"default" only uses the bibitem counter when no label is provided.
LyX file format incremented to 471.
These should be used if any new style needs to be introduced in the stable
2.1 series: If the ForceLocal flag of the style is set, it will always be
written to the document header, so that even older 2.1 versions can read
and correctly output the document.
If you have an unmounted dir, ac_dir, in your PATH, the call to
os.path.isfile( os.path.join(ac_dir, ac_word + ext) )
hangs. This is probably a python bug, but the result of configure.py
hanging and LyX freezing is really bad, hence this workaround.
According to the python docs, MacOS doesn't provide os.access();
the hasattr protection is used for this reason.
I was confused when I checked this. It looks like plainnat.bst
overwrites this default to use [Ref1, Ref2] style instead, but
when using natbib's defaults you get the (Ref1; Ref2) style.
This was suggested by Jean-Marc some time ago, and I simply forgot to apply.
With this change you do not see unusable menu entries like linkback on linux
anymore. I also added an entry for emf, since this will be quite useful on
windows.
ps2pdf by default produces the PDF 1.4 format. The PDF 1.3 format was
released in 2000. PDF 1.4 was released in 2001. LyX specified 1.3 as
the output version in 2002 (c1541c22), perhaps because at the time
PDF 1.4 was only a year old so some viewers did not support it.
