Especially after the change to use semantic linefeeds (7b23c76b),
the diffs are large and it's hard to figure out what diff is the
result of the linefeed change and which diff is the result of an
edit.
By updating the docs, it will make the edits easier to understand
from the diff.
This commit used the LyX binary to write the new .lyx files since
lyx2lyx does not apply semantic linefeeds.
I used the following command:
./development/tools/updatedocs.py [path to 'lyx' binary]
A few documents were not updated (e.g., the command sequence used
failed because a dialog about a missing dependency was shown).
I did not update Additional.lyx for any language since it is
undergoing changes. I also didn't change anything in doc/fr since JP
is working on some of those. I also didn't change doc/ru since it
appears Yuriy already updated those.
Keyboard bindings are easy. For lfun icons in documentation, both the UserGuide and Tutorial have to be updated. Since this will have to be done again once the documentation is imported from branch, I list them here for reference:
For the lib/doc/ directory:
find . -name 'Tutorial.lyx' | xargs sed -i 's/"layout List"/"layout Labeling"/g'
find . -name 'UserGuide.lyx' | xargs sed -i 's/"layout List"/"layout Labeling"/g'
and then
find . -name 'Tutorial.lyx' | xargs sed -i 's/"layout \(Itemize\|Description\|Labeling\|Enumerate\|List\)"/"layout-toggle \1"/g'
find . -name 'UserGuide.lyx' | xargs sed -i 's/"layout \(Itemize\|Description\|Labeling\|Enumerate\|List\)"/"layout-toggle \1"/g'
Related to bug #11770.
PDF outline improves with unicode/utf8 (although some chars still wrong).
Math: ERT for umlauts no longer required (now force-converted with unicodesymbols)
* "platex" fails with "inputencoding default", if there is text in other languages.
"jis-platex" works fine, "jis-utf8" fails with German Umlauts (maybe more).
* The expert setting "inputencoding default" switches the inpute encoding
with language switches without marking this in the LaTeX source.
It is rarely required (if ever) and makes documents easy to break.
It is not required for AMS Books, Simple CV, ... (probabely a tex2lyx issue).
"utf8" and "auto" work fine.
The aim of the tutorial is to explain how to use LyX and not special LaTeX issues with \frontmatter, non-TeX fonts etc. Therefore the preamble should kept clean.
Pdflatex is the recommended export tool for the manuals.
Pdflatex brings the best results for hyperlinking.
Some features (e.g. rotated text) are not available in DVI or PS (dvips).
This does not affect export from command line or autotests
(where this setting is ignored and the format must aways be given explicitely).
