The current char-based implementation gets increasingly unreadable,
especially if styles are added that do not follow the strict
single-double paradigm.
Replace the member reference to FuncRequest in Action.cpp with a
shared_ptr. Compared to copying the FuncRequest, the shared_ptr has two
advantages:
* Recreating the menu each time creates a lot of new actions, so we avoid a lot
of copies.
* FuncRequest can remain forward-declared in Action.h.
The field prettyname can accept Unicode and therefore must be parsed into a
docstring.
Little simplification of the code on the way.
* For other fields, either a validator should be set to prevent non-ascii input
in the preferences, or they should be transformed into docstring too.
At d449e7e6 it has been decided that submenus are going to be displayed even if
all their items are disabled. Here we make an exception for OptSubmenus.
Example of submenu no longer shown: Insert > Insert Regexp
Example of submenu always shown: Edit > Math > Limit Type, Macro Definition
After d5a5fbb8, as indicated in the commit log, it remained to make sure that
the sub-menus of the navigation menu showing the TOCs are generated in a delayed
fashion, to avoid corner cases regarding performance when documents have very
lengthy tocs (e.g. in a document with 1000 sections it takes a few hundreds
milliseconds for the menu to be refreshed). But this idea actually requires
substantial changes to the way menus are computed, so it is not for now.
In the meanwhile, I reintroduce a max size for menus, after which it is cut
off. This differs from the one that I removed at d5a5fbb8 in two ways: 1) if
there are more items than the max size, then we still show something instead of
nothing, 2) we allow ourselves to rely on qt's scrollable menus and therefore
allow bigger menus than before the above commit. The philosophy is that it is
better to show something than nothing, that it's better to show a scrollable
menu than to cut the menu to fit the screen, and that beyond a certain size the
scrollable menu becomes useless anyways.
Use the function support:truncateWithEllipsis() to shorten a docstring with
... at the end. Actually we use U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS instead of "..." when
automatically shortening strings. This is to be consistent with Qt's own
truncation and is much nicer on the screen.
This includes the bugs #9575 and #9572 regarding broken text elision in the
outliner.
Known issues (non-regressions):
* TocBackend::updateItem() should be rewritten to update all TOCs. (#8386)
* "..." should be replaced with … everywhere else on the interface (including
translation strings).
* We should prefer to rely on QFontMetrics::elidedText() to truncate strings
with an ellipsis whenever possible, or an equivalent for the buffer view
dependent on the font metrics. See the warning in src/support/lstrings.h.
* New TOC "math-macro". This means that math macros can now be accessed in the
outline pane in their order of appearance or in alphabetical order, and can be
searched using the filter.
* Lists of floats now show subfloats deeper in the navigation menu
* The arbitrary 30 element cut-off after which nothing is shown except "Open
Navigator..." is removed. Menus now have no limit in size, so Qt may display
them scrollable. In exchange, we always show "Open outliner..." at the
beginning. I tested for performance issues with a rather complex document and
it is fine; but this does not exclude corner cases with lots of TOC entries of
a certain kind. If necessary, populating the navigation sub-menu should be
delayed like the main menu.
* Elements that do not contribute to the output (e.g. in a note, a disabled
branch) are now preceded with a symbol indicating this status. (The machinery
was already there; I wonder why it was not implemented already.) I have chosen
U+274E NEGATIVE SQUARED CROSS MARK.
* Fix the contextual menus in the outliner (bug introduced at 94e992c5).
* Toc item now move to the caption when present, but first center on the float,
to prevent the situation where the caption is at the top of the screen and the
contents of the float is off-screen above the caption.
(Internally, the action of the toc items can now be customised)
* Fix the LyXHTML output. Disabled captions no longer appear in the list of
figures.
We introduce TocBuilder for building TOCs that take into account both float
insets and their captions.
* Floats without caption are shown with their content.
* Floats with a caption are shown with their caption, but clicking the entry now
correctly moves to the float and not to the caption.
* Subsequent captions produce additional entries in the TOC.
* Figures and subfigures are correctly ordered in the outliner.
* New TOC "senseless" for captions appearing alone (a bit like broken references
are still displayed in the menu and outliner).
* Disable LFUN_CAPTION_INSERT if there is already a caption in a listing
Known issues:
* Inconsistent output for includes located inside floats
* We should record the end of the float in addition of the beginning for a more
accurate cursor -> outliner entry conversion
This commit replaces almost all occurrences of Q_WS_WIN to comply
with Qt5. The remaining occurrences should *not* be replaced,
because the guarded code won't compile on Qt5.
The firs tinvolves a thinko in BibTeXInfo::expandFormat. We were previously
counting passes through this routine, which means: one for every character,
more or less. So long strings would hit the "recursion limit". But what
we are worried about is an infinite loop caused by misues of macros, so that
is what we need to count.
This prevents the error we were previously getting, but it reveals a huge
slowdown when one tries to open a citation inset with a large nubmer of keys.
So we also limit the number of keys we try to process, and the length of the
string we try to display, when we are generating citation information.
I'm convinced that there is a deeper problem in how citation information is
generated (see the bug tracker for more info), but that will require major
surgery and a file format change
Reason for this 'cleanup' is the strange "optional = false" lines at the
end of the "case md_item" and "case md_subitem". Then, it is nicer to
directly use the value of the switch to be the running variable and to use
this to determine whether an item is optional and whether we should quit.

There are several places I was not sure what to do. These are marked
by comments beginning "LASSERT:" so they can be found easily. At the
moment, they are at:

We only need to sort the formats when it is really necessary, i.e. for GUI
purposes.
This also prevents 11000 requests for translation everytime the toolbars
are updated.
