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.
