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.
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.
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
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.
- we found out that Kazakh is currently not supported by babel nor polyglossia so that using Kazakh as language will break the compilation, Günter proposed therefore this encoding change until Kazakh is supported.
- this is not the way it goes, all Tutorials should stay identical as possible, moreover there is no need to disable PDF bookmarks because the document compiles without problems, moreover I still manage the documentation and as long as there is no beta for LyX 2.1 please keep the fileformat of LyX 2.0
- if you have problems compiling a file, report this as bug or the docmentation mailing list! or at least write me a mail
The reasons are specified in the note at the top of the template:
It is possible to export with plain LaTeX but an option must be
specified to remove some elements (e.g. JSS logo).
If the 'nols' option were set, the files could be output with plain
LaTeX as well; but because letterspacing is an important part of the
Tufte design, letterspacing is preserved and pdf2 is set as the
default output format. This is now explained in a note.
If you do not explicitly specify the output file name, gnuhtml2latex will
guess a file name itself. The result of the guess is not what we expect if
the input file name did not contain a .html extension, but something which
is not related to a format, e.g. .qV9984 from FileName::tempName().
output, due to failure to clean the ids in the new citation stuff.
I've solved this by allowing the citation format information to contain
keys of the form "clean:key". This signals that we are to apply the
html::cleanAttr() function to the key before returning it. I.e., we
strip non-alphanumeric stuff, basically.
- fileformat change
- it was a pity that LyX did not yet support a simple rectangular frame without a defined width but LyX did this for e.g. oval frames
- \fbox and \mbox often occur in TeX files and can now be imported
Previously, the format used for included pdf files was the same as for
document export via ps2pdf. This caused unwanted conversion routes, e.g.
export via odt->pdf instead of dvi->ps->pdf.
I renamed the format for included graphics and not for exported documents,
since otherwise the command line syntax for export would change. This would
require more adaptions for the users, since with the chosen solution the
custom converters are almost always changed correctly in prefs2prefs(),
so that only custom external templates need manual adjustement.
* Powerdot now also uses the native overlay item arguments
* a list option argument is finally available
* \pause natively supported (like in beamer)
* support for \onslide (via InsetFlex)
* support for \twocolumn
File format change.
With this commit, old beamer frames are converted to new ones. The old styles are removed (including the infamous \lyxframe).
This should be tested with as much beamer documents as possible (I have already done so), also, tex2lyx now probably produces invalid LyX files.
From version 425 to 463, the cancel package is used automatically.
Take this into accound when converting to old formats: For the step
464->463 do nothing if cancel was set to auto. For the step 425->424,
add the \usepackage statement as before.
Somehow I overlooked that \sideset also supports nonscript arguments for
left and right. This is now fixed, although I do not like the toolbar names.
If somebody knows something better, please improve.
\textsubtilde is a combining character (0x0330), but 0x02f7 is not.
Apart from the wrong LaTeX output, having the same command for two symbols
confuses texc2lyx.
This default argument is inserted iff no inset argument is present. This is useful particularly for mandatory arguments that need to have a sensible default value.
lyx2lyx died with UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte if a
layout with a non-ASCII character in the file name was used, since the
textclass member of the LyX class was of type str, and not unicode.
- the column limit for decorated matrices does no longer exists
- move the former "accents for operators" sections to the operators section because these are no accents but operator-specific decorations
- add a note for \sideset
- formatting adjustments
The rest (Tutorial.lyx, Math.lyx, EmbeddedObjects.lyx, UserGuide.lyx,
Intro.lyx and Additional.lyx) are left untouched, because
still not compilable with platex
