This is the rersult of a discussion on the list. Now all special characters
have meaningful names, and it is clear that the LyX file syntax is not LaTeX.
tex2lyx did not use the InsetLayout for the script insets, so it did not know
that it had to use Plain Layout. However, there is still a possible pitfall:
InsetScript uses a hard coded plain layout for the InsetText constructor, so
if anybody would remove ForcePlain 1 and MultiPar false from the InsetLayout
then LyX would still write script insets with plain layout, but tex2lyx would
output standard layout again.
Previously, LyX did replace some words with typeset logos, and there was no
way to prvent this except putting them, in ERT (bug #4752). Now we have
special insets for these words, and standard text is left alone.
Previously, tex2lyx did not remove the \protect which is output by LyX in
front of \nobreakdash- if needed. Now tex2lyx removes it unconditionally (like
it does elsewhere), because LyX will add it if needed.
Previously, consecutive dashes in .lyx files were combined to endash and emdash
in some cases, and in other cases they were output as is. This made the code
complicated, and resulted in inconsitencies ((bug #3647).
Now, a dash in a .lyx file is always a dash in the output, for all flavours.
The special handling is moved to the input side, so that you still get an
endash if you type two hyphens. If needed, this can be changed or made
customizable without the need to update the file format again. Many thanks
for the fruitful mailing list dicsussion, which contributed significantly to
the final version.
This is the first part of bug #8553. \textgreek was interpreted as the
polyglossia version even if polyglossia was not used. Now it is not recognized
at all and converted to ERT, but this ensures at least correct LaTeX output.
Now we can handle all types of captions defined in layout files or modules.
This does also mean that \captionabove and \captionbelow are only recognized
in KOMA-classes and not always anymore, but this is correct, since these
captions would not work in other document classes anyway.
This fixes the tex2lyx test test-refstyle-theorems.tex. It seems that the
intent of the fix was to remove a \protect in front of a \caption,
\captionabove or \captionbelow, but the implementation did not really do that.
Furthermore, it is not clear in which cases a \protect in front of a caption
needs to removed, and in which cases it needs to be kept: After looking at the
LyX sources I could not see that caprions are always output with \protect.
The algorithm used for breaking a paragraph in LaTeX export is changed
for avoiding spurious blank lines causing too much vertical space.
This change is tied to the introduction of a new inset (with two
different specializations) helping in either outputing LaTeX paragraph
breaks or separating environments in LyX. Both of the above goals were
previously achieved by the ---Separator--- layout and can now be
accomplished by the new inset in a more natural way. As an example,
after leaving an environment by hitting the Return key for two times,
a third return automatically inserts a parbreak inset, which is
equivalent to the old separator layout, i.e., it also introduces a
blank line in the output. If this blank line is not wanted, the
parbreak separator can be changed to a plain separator by a right
click of the mouse. Of course, an environment can still be separated
by the following one by using the Alt+P+Return shortcut (or the
corresponding menu key), but now the plain separator inset is used
instead of the old separator layout, such that no blank line occurs in
the LaTeX output.
Old documents are converted such that the LaTeX output remains unchanged.
As a result of this conversion, the old separator layout is replaced by
the new parbreak inset, which may also appear in places where the old
algorithm was introducing blank lines while the new one is not.
Note that not all blank lines were actually affecting the LaTeX output,
because a blank line is simply ignored by the TeX engine when it occurs
in the so called "vertical mode" (e.g., after an alignment environment).
The old ---Separator--- layout is now gone and old layout files using it
are also automatically converted.
Round trip conversions between old and new format should leave a document
unchanged. This means that the new behavior about paragraph breaking is
not "carried back" to the old format. Indeed, this would need introducing
special LaTeX commands in ERT that would accumulate in roundtrip
conversions, horribly cluttering the document. So, when converting a
modified document to old formats, the LaTeX output may slightly differ in
vertical spacing if the document is processed by an old version of LyX.
In other words, forward compatibility is guaranteed, but not backwards.
In roundtrip mode, tex2lyx produces documents with extension lyx.lyx, so that
the original files are not overwritten on re-export. This was not done for
included documents which were converted, and this broke 'make dist'.
* InsetBox and GuiBox: Use proper empty length instead of the broken -9.99col% trick
* some slight changes to the logic of GuiBox to make sure that values are set as needed.
* lengthToWidget(): handle properly the empty length case. All the other related Qt helpers did it already, it was probably an oversight. Also set the default_unit parameter as optional (not needed in this patch actually, but I got carried away :)
* allow generating LaTeX code for an empty length, since some broken code does that.
- 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
This fixes bug #8554 and some recently introduced busg:
- Encodings::fromLaTeXCommand() can now handle all combining characters,
not only the one letter ones
- The remainder returned from Encodings::fromLaTeXCommand() must never be
thrown away in tex2lyx, but output as ERT
- No special case for combining diacritical marks needed anymore in parse_text()
- No special cases for accents and IPA combining diacritical marks needed
anymore in parse_text()
- special tipa short cuts may only be recognized if the tipa package is loaded
- Use requirements returned by Encodings::fromLaTeXCommand() instead of
hardcoded registering of tipa and tipax
- Get rid of the name2 variable in parse_text(): We must use name, otherwise
the extra stuff that might have been put into name vanishes
- Convert prettyref to the autopackage mechanism
- Do not load refstyle automatically if some refstyle preamble code of LyX
is found, since LyX will only load the package if an actual reference
command is used. This is needed for mixed refstyle/prettyref documents.
- Only recognize refstyle commands if refstyle was detected in the preamble
- Only recognize prettyref commands if prettyref was detected in the preamble
- Add a mixed refstyle/prettyref test case
* use verbatimStuff for parsing chunks and make try to follow closely the sweave sytax constraints.
* merge the two cases for parsing << (noweb or quote)
* \verb|ff| requires that its parameter is on a single line.
- support for Cyrillic characters
- support for \textifsymbol and \ascii (fixes bug #8556)
- support for \ding
- tex2lyx/text.cpp: correct an indentation and use "name2" because "name" is already defined in this clause
