Using Cursor::setCursor or even BufferView::setCursor is often a bad
idea since it does not run DEPM. In this case (and other cases in
f&replace code) it is better to use BufferView::mouseSetCursor (which
should maybe be renamed...).
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.
Before, if a user had "Group" checked in GuiRef and double-clicked
on a category, that category would be inserted as a (broken)
reference. Now, when a category is double-clicked, nothing happens.
If a label starts with ':' and 'Group' is checked,
the label is now shown under "<No prefix>" instead of
not shown.
Note that labels starting with ':' can be valid in LaTeX.
If "Group" is checked, "<No prefix>" is shown only if there exists a
label with no prefix. Before, it was shown even when it was empty and
even when there were no labels at all.
This was a simple logic error that crept in during refactoring:
If the format does not match, and the converted file has been read,
the string must not be read.
This speeds up the copying, and although not many applications understand
MathML currently (MS word is supposed to understand it), their number should
go up in the future.
When using CMake, the binary files are stored in <build-dir>/bin. LyX can't fin tex2lyx with the current code. So, we have to point configure.py to explicitly look in the binary dir.
'Acknowledgments' does not belong in the title but did not override
'InTitle 1' inherited from 'Abstract'. Without this patch, the
following error is given:
output_latex.cpp (1111): Error in latexParagraphs: You should not
mix title layouts with normal ones.
Thanks to Hashini Senaratne for narrowing down the problem.
As discussed on the list. No automatic contents detection is done, the user
needs to use the special paste menu instead. I used the new TempFile class
for safe temporary file handling.
The documentation would go into section 2.2 of UserGuide.lyx, but I am not
allowed to edit that document.
FileName::tempName() is not thread safe, since the QTemporaryFile object is
immediately deleted after creating it. Therefore, another thread could create
the same temporary file in the time span before the user of FileName::tempName()
recreates it. This is not as theoretical as it may look: I observed that
repeated creation and deletion of QTemporaryFile objects always use the same
name.
This problem is solved by the new class TempFile which should be used like
QTemporaryFile itself.
dummy is the name given in the latex backend to simple (usually single) paragraphs and since dummy is not a docbook element it is acceptable to ignore it. It is a reasonal compromise.
Before, the converter chain for DocBook -> PDF (ps2pdf) was:
docbook -> DVI
DVI -> Postscript
Postscript -> PDF (ps2pdf)
sgmltools has a backend for PostScript so the first two
steps in the above converter chain are now condensed into
one by adding the following converter for docbook -> Postscript:
sgmltools -b ps $$i
The HTML export is now mature enough so that it can be used to transfer
formatted text to the clipboard. This enhances interoperability e.g. with
office applications.
gnuhtml2latex does not handle encodings at all. Therefore the result is not
imported correctly by tex2lyx if the HTML file is encoded in anything else
than ascii or latin1 (the default of tex2lyx). The simple wrapper script
loads inputenc if needed. It may not be possible to compile the result with
LaTeX, (e.gif utf8 is used), but for running tex2lyx it will work just fine.
