Each way might be preferred by a different developer and the more
ways that can be described of running the tests, the higher the
chance is that developers will find a way that works well for them.
Explain why the export tests are enabled for formats that are not
expected to work well with certain document classes, modules, or
packages. The reason is that if a .lyx file goes from compiling
successfully for one format (even if that format is not officially
supported for the combination of features used), if that document
suddenly fails to compile, there is a significant chance that a bug
was introduced in LyX. In other words, there is a high signal/noise
ratio. If it is determined that a test is failing because an
expected incompatibility is exposed, then the test can be inverted.
The export tests, check_load tests, and URL tests are now documented
in the Development.lyx file. The export tests are described in
detail, such as how to run them and how to interpret the results.
Many of our documents have babel-specific preamble code. By putting
this code in a \@ifpackageloaded{babel}{}{} conditional, XeTeX and
LuaTeX compilation with polyglossia now works. This fixes some
LuaTeX tests that were broken by edd37de8 and also allows us to
uninvert some XeTeX tests.
Note that in some of the files although the preambles were fixed to
allow for polyglossia, they still do not compile without errors:
es/Math.lyx
es/Customization.lyx
de/Customization.lyx
Similar fixes might be desired in other manuals but these at least
fix regressions in the tests.
Many of our Spanish documents use babel-specific features in the
documents, e.g. to write "sin" in Spanish ("sen"). Because babel
seems to have good support for Spanish, I am setting the "Always
babel" for the manuals.
This fixes several LuaTeX tests with non-TeX fonts. A XeTeX test is
also reverted accordingly.
Some of my following commits will make changes to these files
(mainly just changing the preambles). This commit simply updates the
format so the diffs of the following commits are easy to read.
Since a while now we can translate the unit descriptions. For some special applications it is also necessary that the users know the LaTeX command of the relative units.
- also fix a typo in Customization.lyx
paralist.sty extends the standard list environments by some more compact
versions. Support for this has already been requested 15 years ago, and
now I needed it myself.
Actually photos (i.e. .jpg files) where supported previously, but for pdflatex
output an unneeded conversion to png was done. The RasterImage templates
behaves now exactly as InsetGraphics for these files: If the input format is
jpg, use that for pdflatex, else convert to png.
This is another advantage of the new logo insets: We see in LyX where they are
inserted for the output. In these two cases, the text describes keywords of
the external template configuration file language, so these should not be
typeset as logos.
