This has been done by reading the LaTeX sources (classes.dtx) to try
to get things right
* fix font sizes of chapters and parts. Note that the labels have
smaller size as the title itself.
* fix alignment of Part and put label on top
* add spacing between label and title.
Runs the compare via the command line, and then compares the output to the
expected result. Required adding a script to do the comparison, so that
the timestamps on changes in the lyx file are ignored.
Export to all formats seems to work well after removing the "ps2pdf"
option to the hyperref package.
Accordingly we uninvert the tests for the other formats. All ctests
pass on an updated TeX Live 2020.
More generally, ensures that paragraphs in abstracts do not have something else configured.
A major problem in making the layout more useful is that article titles are not supposed to be in TOC.
The hook that defines the "lastslide" label is interfered with for
some reason on an updated TeX Live 2020. We thus avoid referencing
the label and instead show only the current slide number on each
slide. We leave instructions in the preamble for how to get back the
previous behavior if desired.
We currently specify that dvips be used. This could potentially
change in the future. One issue is that with system fonts XeTeX and
LuaTeX do not correctly rotate pages.
This is only relevant on linux/unix if running the scripts from a shell.
These two were the last where the call still used an unversioned python.
This has no reflex on the way that lyx calls the scripts or the python
version used since the #! "shebang line" is ignored.
Compilation of our Seminar example file fails on updated TL20. The
maintainer of "Seminar" is not planning to fix the core issue and
states the following (in a private email with permission to quote):
it is a problem with the new hook management of the current latex.ltx
seminar is a quite old package and there is no reason to use it with a
new LaTeX format. It won't be fixed, so the usual way is to use the
package latexrealease to get the old hook management.
This commit adds a note to the example files explaining the
workaround of exporting to a .tex file and prepending the following
line:
\RequirePackage[2020-02-02]{latexrelease}
We now invert the relevant tests.
For elements that should behave like sections (for now, mostly prefaces).
A second paragraph of PartBacktext can only wreak havok: it should start a section, and nothing else (otherwise, it's a real nightmare to implement).
