With this commit, info insets leave the dark backstage room of an opaque
and quite hidden dev-only feature and come frontstage.
In the UI, they present themselves as "Fields" since this is what people
know from word processors. Other user-related fields that could be
implemented next: time, user name (I plan to do that for 2.4).
Since this supersedes date-insert, I removed Insert > Date from
the menu and propose to ditch date-insert and the corresponding rc.
The lyx2lyx reversion routine has lots of room for improvement and
attractive tasks for pythons (file timestamp, switch of localization).
Please feel invited!
This is a file format change.
This effectively enables linebreaks, multipars and layout changes in
non-fixed width (i.e., standard) table columns.
Fixes: #6577
TODO: metrics are wrong (too wide) on screen with linebreaks.
This is an extra command used for sidenote citations. Since we do not
provide \cite with natbib (which tufte uses) as a choice, we use the
new AddToCiteEngine feature to add it.
File format change.
Fixes: #11150
It is now possible in the float settings (doc dialog) to specify a global
(inner) alignment for floats, and in the float settings, this can be
overridden (just as with float placement)
Fixes: #8665
File format change.
This revives a ten year old idea (and patch) by Dov.
You can now mark in the character dialog text and exclude it from spell
checking.
Fixes: #1042
File format change
Remaining issue: The instant spell checking marks are not immediately
removed, but only after some editing.
Following a request by Günter, we consider the document fonts (only rm
for now) when selecting an appropriate font encoding.
See #9741
The new default font encoding setting "auto" does
* consider the font encoding needed by the language(s), which can now
have fallback alternatives
* Consider which font encoding is provided by the document font
Thus, cm now will result in OT1 fontenc, if the language can deal with
that.
The font_enc pref is ditched: it is no longer needed.
The automatism is still very basic and is subject to extension.
File format and prefs format change.
Use the command as defined by Babel. This allows us to use the (more
advanced) Babel command if provided instead of rolling our own.
I add a dummy file format change in case it turns out we need to
do something here for old documents (e.g. with user preamble definitions)
The current spelling is not strictly wrong, but flagged as unusual or
historical by some authorities. It is also found fault with many
spell checkers. Thus we decided to move to the more standard "-ible"
form once and for all.
See #10678 for discussion
This part only covers the usage in comments and the like. More to follow.
This will all also all be backported to 2.3.x, for the sake of backwards
compatibility (cherry-picking).
Update the listings inset to optionally use the minted package
(instead of the listings one) for typesetting code listings.
Only one of the two packages can be used in a document, but it
is possible to switch packages without issues if the used options
are the same. If a switch is made and the options differ, one needs
to manually adjust them if they were entered in the advanced options
tab, or apply again the gui settings.
Note that minted requires the -shell-escape option for the latex
backend and the installation of additional software (python pygments).
New special character to mark an optional line break
without inserting a hyphen (ZWSP). See #10585.
Corresponds to the Unicode character U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE
This isn't a “space”. It is an invisible character that can be used
to provide line break opportunities.
http://unicode.org/notes/tn27/
While the literal Unicode character can be used in the LyX
file, it is invisible in the GUI.
For visible feedback, the patch adds a new special character "allowbreak".
The small mark is inspired by LibereOffice.
A tooltip is added.
- Mention the new buffer parameter in development/FORMAT
- Assure that lyx2lyx generates the same output obtained when saving
a converted document from within lyx
- Don't require any action when converting a document created with
lyx 2.2 in order to assure unchanged output (thanks José for the hint)
This commit fixes the regression introduced in 2.2 about the
output of en- and em-dashes. In 2.2 en- and em-dashes are output as
the \textendash and \textemdash macros when using TeX fonts, causing
changed output in old documents and also bugs (for example, #10490).
Now documents produced with older versions work again as intended,
while documents produced with 2.2 can be made to produce the exact
same output by simply checking "Don't use ligatures for en-and
em-dashes" in Document->Settings->Fonts.
When exporting documents using TeX fonts to earlier versions, in order
to avoid changed output, a zero-width space character is inserted after
each en/em-dash if dash ligatures are allowed. These characters are
removed when reloading documents with 2.3, so that they don't accumulate.
This adds support for the chapterbib package, but also adds ways to
produce this sort of multibib with biblatex and bibtopic (which are
both incompatible with chapterbib).
File format change.
File format change.
This allows for the relevant InsetCommand-based dialogs (such as
citation text before/after, Bibitem label, hyperlink name etc.)
to provide both the input of verbatim code or text that is transformed
to proper LaTeX code.
Some dialogs (Nomencl, Href) already had some methods (although they
could not be toggled), which are now centralized and streamlined.
The initial work of this patch has been done by Georg Baum (see
http://www.lyx.org/trac/attachment/ticket/2751/x.diff)
Fixes: #2751, #8227.
These are biblatex-specific multicite commands that allow for multiple
pre- and postnotes, as in:
\cites(pre)(post)[pre1][post1]{key1}[pre2][post2]{key2}...
with an optional general pre- and postnote, which applies to the whole
list (like [][] in normal cite commands) and an optional pre- and
postnotes for each item, so that pagination can actually be specified in
multi-cite references, as in:
(cf. Miller 2015, 2; furthermore Smith 2013, 23-23; Jenkins 2012, 103,
also refer to chapter 6 in this book)
See the biblatex manual, sec. 3.8.3., for details.

We use the more comprehensive cochineal package if available and fall
back to the crimson package, if not.
Math support is provided by means of newtxmath
Fixes: #9974, #9976
* b `british' (``inner quotation'')
* w >>swedishg>> ('inner quotation') ["g" = Guillemets]
* f <<french>> (``inner quotation'')
* i <<frenchin>> (<<inner quotation>>) ["in" = Imprimerie Nationale]
* r <<russian>> (,,inner quotation``)
Rename "french" to "swiss"
Also rename "single/double" to "secondary/primary" ("inner/outer" in
the UI) and "left/right" to "opening/closing". Note that the inset
identifier string is left as is ("s/d" and "l/r")
- fileformat change
- I could not update the tex2lyx test files because of bug #10440
- maybe the lyx2lyx routine could be improved but since a document can also begin with another layout than "Standard" I could not use the lyx2lyx function put_cmd_in_ert
is output when a branch is NOT activated. Fixes bug #7698.
At the moment, inversion is controlled through the branch settings
dialog. There is no provision for inserting inverted insets directly,
or for changing them from the context menu. Both of these could be
done, of course. The latter would need LFUN_BRANCH_TOGGLE_INVERTED.
The external date inset was implemented as a demonstrator for external insets
in general. It was never intended for production code. Now that we have several
external insets defined we do not need the demonstrator anymore. This fixes
bugs #4398 and #9948.
This is the same as the parbreak separator and is represented on screen
as the old parbreak. Old parbreak separators are converted to latexpar
separators when they are used for introducing blank lines in the
latex output rather than for separating environments.
Instead, parbreak separators are now represented on screen by a
double line. In essence, latexpar and parbreak separators produce
the same output but are represented differently on screen.
The context menu does not account for latexpar separators and only
"true" separators can be turned each into the other one.
The term LongTable has been deprecated and moreover the renaming makes the interface easier to the eye.
File format updated to 507. (conversion based on jamatos patch)
Layout format updated to 60.
tex2ylx tests updated.
Document EmbeddedObjects.lyx has been updated.
* Increase LyX format
* New function convert_info_insets in lyx2lyx_tools.py
Use this function in the future for future updates of info insets
* Convert "inset-modify tabular" to "tabular-feature" in info insets
* Remove icon naming hack regarding "inset-modify tabular"
Increment LyX format to 504.
With this new parameter, the user can indicate that some other parameters that
are frequently switched must not be recorded in the file (as if they were a
setting specific to the user or transient, rather than a document setting). This
will play nicer with version control systems.
See the discussion, e.g.:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.devel/157824/focus=157993 (third
solution mentioned)
TODO:
* The interface remains to be set up. We cannot change this setting from LyX
for now.
* If save_transient_properties is false, we should read the user setting as a
per-user-per-document (session) setting (e.g. like the cursor position).
* Once the above is done, we can treat \justification the same way (but it would
be even better if \justification was moved to lyxrc).
This is one part of bug 9744: If you toggle between TeX fonts and non-TeX
fonts, the settings of the other choice are no longer thrown away, but stored
and re-activated if you switch back. Most parts of the patch are purely
mechanical (duplicating some BufferParams members), the only non-mechanical
change is in the GUI logic.
Being able to compile document with zipped .eps files was a useful feature of
the graphicxs package 20 years ago, but the LyX support is no longer relevant:
- The flag is ignored if preview is on
- If pdflatex is used then uncompressing happens during the compilation anyway
- If set, the flag prevents LyX from issuing proper error messages if
something with the image is wrong
- For hard disk capacities from 20 years ago not uncompressing is a useful
feature, but for current hard disk capacities it does not matter
- The external inset does not have it, and if we want to merge both insets
one day we would need to implement it there, which is even more difficult
than in InsetGraphics
Since lyX 2.0 we support to use the in_preamble tag. This allows to support more commands. For an unknown reason I forgot the jss.layout when I updated the other layouts once.
Fileformat change
The math parser could not handle multicolumn grids. This is a problem because
there is no true ERT in math (everything is parsed).
Now multicolumn cells are parsed correctly. The display is also somewhat OK,
but apart from that any multicolumn related UI is missing. Since the file
format change is now done the UI can be added at any later point. The most
important part of bug 396 is now fixed: tex2lyx does not create invalid .lyx
files anymore for formulas containing \multicolumn.
I updated the tex2lyx test cases that produce correct output. tex2lyx does
still produce invalid output for the test cases which are not updated because
of the previous format change.
The "save-as" part of the bug is fixed by extending the \textclass tag
such that, if a local layout file is used, its path relative to the
document directory is now stored together with the name. If a relative
path cannot be used, an absolute one is used but, in this case, the
document is not usable on a different platform.
The "copy" part is fixed by introducing a new \origin tag, which is
written when the file is saved. This tag stores the absolute path of
the document directory. If the document is manually copied to a
different location, the local layout file is retrivied by using
\origin (which is only updated on save).
This new tag may prove useful also for locating other files when the
document is manually moved to a different directory.
As in the original implementation the files needed for the layout
(for example, a latex class) had to be in the same directory as the
layout file, this directory has also to be added to TEXINPUTS.
This is the rersult of a discussion on the list. Now all special characters
have meaningful names, and it is clear that the LyX file syntax is not LaTeX.
Previously, LyX did replace some words with typeset logos, and there was no
way to prvent this except putting them, in ERT (bug #4752). Now we have
special insets for these words, and standard text is left alone.
Previously, consecutive dashes in .lyx files were combined to endash and emdash
in some cases, and in other cases they were output as is. This made the code
complicated, and resulted in inconsitencies ((bug #3647).
Now, a dash in a .lyx file is always a dash in the output, for all flavours.
The special handling is moved to the input side, so that you still get an
endash if you type two hyphens. If needed, this can be changed or made
customizable without the need to update the file format again. Many thanks
for the fruitful mailing list dicsussion, which contributed significantly to
the final version.
This is a follow-up of bug #8967. The implementation is self-explaining, the
only part which needs a comment is lyx2lyx: Since a 100% correct solution is
not possible, it has been decided not to switch amsmath off in the forward
conversion if no other ams command than \smash[t] and \smash[b] is used, but
to consider it a bug that older versions do not load amsmath automatically for
these commands. In the backward direction it is easy to keep the document
compilable, so just do that.
The algorithm used for breaking a paragraph in LaTeX export is changed
for avoiding spurious blank lines causing too much vertical space.
This change is tied to the introduction of a new inset (with two
different specializations) helping in either outputing LaTeX paragraph
breaks or separating environments in LyX. Both of the above goals were
previously achieved by the ---Separator--- layout and can now be
accomplished by the new inset in a more natural way. As an example,
after leaving an environment by hitting the Return key for two times,
a third return automatically inserts a parbreak inset, which is
equivalent to the old separator layout, i.e., it also introduces a
blank line in the output. If this blank line is not wanted, the
parbreak separator can be changed to a plain separator by a right
click of the mouse. Of course, an environment can still be separated
by the following one by using the Alt+P+Return shortcut (or the
corresponding menu key), but now the plain separator inset is used
instead of the old separator layout, such that no blank line occurs in
the LaTeX output.
Old documents are converted such that the LaTeX output remains unchanged.
As a result of this conversion, the old separator layout is replaced by
the new parbreak inset, which may also appear in places where the old
algorithm was introducing blank lines while the new one is not.
Note that not all blank lines were actually affecting the LaTeX output,
because a blank line is simply ignored by the TeX engine when it occurs
in the so called "vertical mode" (e.g., after an alignment environment).
The old ---Separator--- layout is now gone and old layout files using it
are also automatically converted.
Round trip conversions between old and new format should leave a document
unchanged. This means that the new behavior about paragraph breaking is
not "carried back" to the old format. Indeed, this would need introducing
special LaTeX commands in ERT that would accumulate in roundtrip
conversions, horribly cluttering the document. So, when converting a
modified document to old formats, the LaTeX output may slightly differ in
vertical spacing if the document is processed by an old version of LyX.
In other words, forward compatibility is guaranteed, but not backwards.
