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.
Most of the changes are related with dictionaries returning views instead of
lists.
xrange -> range (since xrange is gone in python 3)
The code that is special to support both python 2 and 3 is enclosed in a comment
\# Provide support for both python 2 and 3
and
\# End of code to support for both python 2 and 3
And so later it can be removed safely when python 2 is no longer supported.
Both the hyphen and special phrase conversion did not exclude insets which
reference external files. This was wrong since LyX does not replace
\SpecialCharNoPassThru etc for these insets.
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.
Thanks to Scott for testing. Command insets do not use InsetText for the
arguments, so users have to write them in LaTeX syntax (this is bug #4595).
Therefore we must leave hyphens alone in these insets.
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.
The lyx2lyx conversion for format 352 was incomplete: It should have been
added the \use_indices setting, but it relied on the fact that the default in
LyX for missing \use_indices is the same as the old format without that
setting used. However, the default might change in the future, and later
lyx2lyx conversions rely on that setting as well.
trim_eol() assumes that a line always ends either with \n, \r, or \r\n.
This assumption is always valid except for the last line of a document, since it
may miss the trailing newline. LyX does not create such documents, bu they may
result from automatic creation tools, and LyX can read them, so lyx2lyx should
be able to read them as well.
This is mainly needed to reduce the amount of ERT if you convert AMS example
documents with tex2lyx. No GUI support is needed, since \notag is equivalent
to \nonumber.
This is a follow-up of bug #8967. The implementation is self-explaining, the
only part which needs a comment is lyx2lyx: Since a 100% correct solution is
not possible, it has been decided not to switch amsmath off in the forward
conversion if no other ams command than \smash[t] and \smash[b] is used, but
to consider it a bug that older versions do not load amsmath automatically for
these commands. In the backward direction it is easy to keep the document
compilable, so just do that.
Beamer documents do not have a "--Separator--" layout but a
"Separator" one. Also fix a thinko causing the deletion of
"\end_layout" tags in some cases.
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.
lyx2lyx sets all new math packages to off when converting from old formats.
This is correct if any command which would cause an automatic package loading
exists in the document. However, it is wrong if no command exists: This leads
to problems if later a command is added (bug #9069), which is especially
annoying for templates.
The fix consists of two parts:
1) convert_use_package() considers now the used commands like
revert_use_package(), and uses them to decide whether to set the package to
auto or off.
2) convert_undertilde() and revert_undertilde() use a slightly adjusted copy of
convert_use_package() and revert_use_package(), so that the bug is also
fixed for undertilde. We cannot use the latter functions directly, because
of "\usepackage undertilde" vs. "\use_undertilde".
When doing the lyx2lyx round trip of the 2.0.8 user guide from format
413 -> 474 -> 413 you get an invalid document, because the math packages
mhchem and undertilde are incorrectly converted.
It turned out that the old reversion code did only work for particular
package oderings. The new one works for abitrary sorted packages.
When doing the lyx2lyx round trip of the 2.0.8 user guide from format
413 -> 474 -> 413 you do not get a zero diff. The most important problem is
caused by the conversion of the argument insets to the old syntax: This
conversion adds an additional empty line (harmless), and it destroys the
document structure if the first inset in e.g. a subsection is not an argument
inset, but e.g. an index or label inset.
The fix is quite easy: Ensure that the paragraph begin is set to the first
argument inset.
revert_justification() issues a warning if the \justification parameter does
not exist, and LyX itself always writes it unconditionally as well, so add it
also in lyx2lyx when converting old documents.
Currently this does not have any user visible effect, but it decouples the
default value of BufferParams::justification from the conversion of old
documents: Now it is possible to set the default to false in LyX, and old
documents will still be converted correctly.
I should have had a closer look much earlier, since the fix is simple and
safe, but at that time I did not notice. The problem was that an invalid
.lyx document was created when converting unicode characters with two
backslashes in their LaTeX definition from lib/unicodesymbols to pre-unicode
LyX format.
LyX, lyx2lyx and tex2lyx produce now all the same version indicator consisting
only of the major and minor version. It is not decided yet whether future
development versions will add a -dev suffix, but for 2.1.0 this change fixes
the inconsistencies.
We assume chunks come at us in a certain form. If not, then
we cannot handle the conversion. In that case, we just leave
the chunks as they were and they will appear as unknown layouts.
* 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.
The default citation capability of LaTeX is not a true numerical
citation engine, rather it uses a mixture of labels/numbers. Thus
we now distinguish them: "numerical" always increments the bibitem
counter and uses its value as a numerical citation label, while
"default" only uses the bibitem counter when no label is provided.
LyX file format incremented to 471.
These should be used if any new style needs to be introduced in the stable
2.1 series: If the ForceLocal flag of the style is set, it will always be
written to the document header, so that even older 2.1 versions can read
and correctly output the document.
- 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
* 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.
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.
- Use the LyX name of encodings instead of the LaTeX names.
The LyX name must be unique, while the name used by LaTeX
not necessarily, e.g. different packages might implement
support for the same encoding.
- Rename koi8 to koi8-r, so that the LyX and LaTeX names match.
- Rename euc-jp-plain to euc-jp-platex, jis-plain to jis-platex
and shift-jis-plain to shift-jis-platex.
- Add utf8-platex encoding (fixes#8408).
LyX file format incremented to 463.
- this new modernCV version fixes the annoying linebreak bug I was suffering so long, it moreover adds 2 new features
- lyx2lyx/lyx_2_1.py: updated to revert the new features
The old layouts are still there (marked as deprecated). The new ones are more or less correctly reverted (polishment required), but the old ones not yet converted to the new. Once this is done, a further file format change should be made.
The fix is basically mechanical, the additional code for fraction like insets
with three arguments was stolen from \unitfrac. As any math package,
stackrel.sty needs a buffer parameter to switch it off.
I also added the two stackrel flavours to the toolbar.
There were found with -dbg mathed ans entering a math inset.
I kept the AMS versions, except leadsto, which is only an approximation in AMS.
hbar was simply defined twice with identical definitions.
The \frametitle command is less convenient to use than the \frame argument, but it provides more options (overlay/action and short title). We thus provide this additionally to the option, like beamer itself does.
This has a list-like structure (with \onslide item commands). The previous implementation was rather useless, since it required lots of ERT. Since the new implementation is so different, we use ERT for conersion/reversion.
The lyx2lyx routines are not yet perfect, though.
The stmaryrd package adds support for lots of math symbols, using a font
designed to accompany the computer modern fonts. The changes in detail:
- Fix generate_symbols_list.py to work with stmaryrd.sty. It loooks like it
was automatically translated from a perl version and never used.
- Generate the new symbols in lib/symbols using generate_symbols_list.py and
add some manual adjustments
- Generate stmary10.ttf by a simple ttf export from stmary10.sfd with fontforge
- Add license info for stmary10.ttf
- Create a test file with all symbols from stmaryrd.sty. Actually it would be
nice to have this for the other fonts as well.
- The mechanics: lyx2lyx, tex2lyx, font machinery etc.
- also fix in the generic conversion routine the cases
- that there are one or more optional arguments before the mandatory ones
- that the conversion does not start with the first argument of a command
- also support in the lyx2lyx argument conversion routine the case that "}{" appears in 2 consecutive ERTs
- also fix in lyx2lyx_tools.py the output of ERTs (it is important that we write the same amount of lines as if the ERT would have been inserted via LyX 2.0 or lyX 2.1)
Now that we have module support for literate programming, it is possible to do a noweb cleanup. This is basically a patch from Kayvan Sylvan:
- get rid of literate-xxx classes
- rename Scrap to Chunk, since this is the name noweb doc uses (Scrap is from nuweb)
- update lyx file format and add lyx2lyx support for gettting rid of literate-xxx classes
- update documentation
On the top of it, update tex2lyx to
- avoid creating files with literate-xxx class
- fix conflict between parsing << as a quote and parsing it as a Chunk
- create Chunk layouts instead of Scrap ones.
- add a mandatory argument
- remove an optional argument that compiles, but would break the layout of the output completely (is also not documented nor explicitly defined)
- also add a safe guard for the lyx2lyx conversion routines
With non-TeX fonts, you can select a 'Non-TeX Font Default' math font, which simply loads unicode-math without actually selecting a math font, this then uses the default math otf font, currently Latin Modern. Other fonts still need to be set manually in the preamble, via \setmathfont.
The implementation suppresses unneeded package requests from unicodesymbols, but the output still uses macros instead of full unicode (both is possible with unicode-math).
The whole thing is a proof of concept, and it needs to be tested. I have tested it with the math manual, which compiles and seems to display correctly if I remove some hardcoded package loadings. OTOH I have not much experience with math.
This addresses #7449 partly.
This addresses #6543 by adding an option to prevent fonts such as Palatino and Times to automatically adapt the math font (IOW it lets you load the text font only for a bunch of fonts where this is easily possible).
Furthermore it adds an interface to select a specific math font, which is defined in latexfonts. Currently, this is only euler (the only one I know), but if there are other math-only tex fonts, they can be added easily (but note that this changes the file format).
Non-TeX math fonts are not yet supported. Eventually, unicode-math support can use the existing UI, but this is not on my agenda.
Setting up .gitignore or .git/info/excludes is something that should
be done. Not doing it makes it a lot harder to see actual new files
that should be added.

Currently only basic functionality (our math-tipa functionality plus multipar input). Further enhancements (such as proper unicode input and a specific toolbar) are planned. DocBook and XHTML output also need to be audited.
The lyx2lyx reversion routine surely can be improved (help appreciated), and I don't know tex2lyx enough to handle this file format change.

lyx2lyx: Clean up the convert/revert queue.
LaTeXFeatures: Just add cancel to the list of packages that are
simply used with a \usepackage{} line.
Uwe: In case cancel needs to be loaded after amsmath or something,
please revert my changes to LaTeXFeatures and add a comment
about package ordering to the source. Thanks.

To avoid duplicity, remove natbib_authoryear and natbib_numerical
and replace them by natbib, and keep track of the engine `type'
in the new \cite_engine_type document setting. This will make it
easier to add more citation engines.
LyX format incremented to 424.

This holds the name of a BibTeX style file for now. Any BibTeX inset
can set the style to "default" to use the document-wide style.
