* Adjoining closing Single + double quote becomes double + single quote
(for English, Swedish and German, LaTeX export as ''').
* French double quotes are converted to << >> in the LaTeX file and to
double inverted question/interrogation marks in the output, if the font
encoding is set to [None] or OT1 but the global default is T1. (test
for lyxrc.fontenc instead of the document-specific fontenc setting in
InsetQuotes.cpp).
* Quote type ignored for LyXHTML: always "English" quotes used.

This helper method is used to set the inset dimension cache at metrics
time. However this is already done by the metrics code itself
(MathRow::metrics, TextMetrics::redoParagraph), so that there is no
need to do this same work again in a different place.
Also, InsetPhantom::metrics is removed, since it does not do anything
interesting.
This commit comes with a mild risk attached (it might be that some of
these calls were useful after all!), but all of this is fixable.
This helper method is used to set the inset position cache at drawing
time. However this is already done by the drawing code itself
(MathRow::draw, RowPainter::paintInset), so that there is no need to
do this same work again in a different place.
Note that the inset positions are still set in InsetTabular::draw for
each cell.
This commit comes with a mild risk attached (it might be that some of
these calls were useful after all!), but all of this is fixable.
Up to now Inset::dimension was either a helper function to access
CoordCache, or... something else. This created problems to properly
use it.
In particular, the definition of InsetText::dimension created problems
for child classes. Removing this definition (actually renaming it to
dimensionHelper) allows to streamline the code.
Addressing #10481.
This patch adds the new 'needauth' option for converters launching
external programs that are capable of running arbitrary code on behalf
of the user. These converters won't be run unless the user gives explicit
authorization, which is asked on-demand when the converter is about to
be run (question is not asked if the file is cached and calling the
converter is not needed).
The user prompt has a 3rd button so that he/she's not prompted again
for (any converter over) the same document (identified through
buffer->absFileName()).
Two preference options are added:
lyxrc.use_converter_needauth_forbidden disables any converter with
the 'needauth' option, which is meant to force user to an explicit
action via the preferences pane, before being able to use advanced
converters that can potentially bring security threats;
lyxrc.use_converter_needauth enables prompting the user for 'needauth'
converters, or bypasses the check if not enabled, falling back to the
previous behavior.
So, the first option is for maximum security, the second is for
maximum usability.
In fact having an extra parameter "bool cond" is no longer useful because it can
now always be emulated with a ternary operator:
Changers dummy = cond ? do_change() : Changer();
texstring is a pair of a docstring and a corresponding TexRow. The row count in
the TexRow has to match the number of lines in the docstring.
otexstringstream is an output string stream that can be used to create
texstrings (i.e. it's an odocstringstream that records the TexRow information
and let us extract a texstring from it).
texstrings can be passed around and output to otexstream and otexrowstream,
which produces an accurate TexRow information by concatenating TexRows.
As noted in the log, this commit was a bit radical and needs some
adjustments (which was expected, actually).
Let InsetText do their own background drawing.
Fixes bug #10359.
Before, it could have been the case that
lyx -e pdf2 file.lyx
had exit code 0 even though file.lyx includes a file that exits with
error. If compiled in the GUI a warning was given, but from the
command line exit code it would seem there was no problem. The exit
code for this case is now non-zero and the word "Warning" is now
removed from the message because it should be treated as an error.
An exception is thrown from InsetInclude and is caught in
Buffer::makeLaTeXFile() and added to the error list.
The (similar) use case at #8840 is also fixed by this commit.
Now by default all insets paint their own background when needed. This
means that 63cf3297 and part of 9940acc5 can be reverted.
To avoid extra painting, background drawing is disabled for
InsetCommand and InsetCollapsable. These insets draw background as
part of their normal drawing activity.
This will avoid drawing artifacts with InsetNewpage, InsetVSpace and
probably some others.
For reference, the bug was that quote insets grew bolder because, when
painted over themselves, anti-aliasing made them darker.
It turned out that the fix there created others than were
painstakingly fixed: #7164, #7165, #7174, #7193... More recently, it
created other problems:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.devel/163471
We use the right fix here:
* draw background of quote inset when not doing full repaint
* draw background of math macro template when not doing full repaint
* remove hack that grew from #4889 fix.
The code that specializes for double elements in the display string
does not trigger anymore: displayString() returns a single unicode
value, plus some space for french guillemets.
Use a thin space for these french quotes instead of a plain space and
remove special case in metrics().
is output when a branch is NOT activated. Fixes bug #7698.
At the moment, inversion is controlled through the branch settings
dialog. There is no provision for inserting inverted insets directly,
or for changing them from the context menu. Both of these could be
done, of course. The latter would need LFUN_BRANCH_TOGGLE_INVERTED.
The differentiation of "xetex" and "platex" is not needed here,
is ambiguous and confusing (see #10013). The code that relies on
it can/should get its information otherwise.
Furthermore, polyglossia-exclusive languages now also work with
LuaTeX, since we support LuaTeX + polyglossia.
dealing properly with the paragraph separator tag.
We really need to use that tag as a kind of general marker for which
tags we're responsible for in a given paragraph and which tags we are
not. So the changes to InsetText.cpp use the tag as that kind of marker.
Note that, as of this commit, the User Guide again exports without any
kind of error. I haven't yet checked the other manuals.
This fixes bug #8022.
* Underline or strike through the label as if it was text (it is).
* Strike through deleted InsetText, but let RowPainter handle the case of
non-MultiPar text insets.
* Change the colour of the frame as a cue, unless its colour is customised (not
Color_foreground). (Essentially do the border of CharStyles like Tabular does
it already.)
* The change info needs to be reset when entering InsetText. Otherwise labels
are painted with the change of their n+1-th parent.
* Justification and nicer line breaks.
* Much nicer tooltip for lists of bibliographical references.
* Removed unnecessary iterated copies of the string buffer in
InsetText::ToolTipText() which looked bad. This function used to be costly
(cf64064), maybe it is quicker now.
After the previous commit, tooltip in the outliner are formatted automatically,
along with the other tooltips. A previous commit had already removed the
expensive call to tooltipText() that, although it gave a better rendering, was
very expensive (cf64064). This patch finishes to remove the custom tooltip
from the model data in the outliner.
(It would be nice to reintroduce a tooltip based on tooltipText(), but there
seemed to be a consensus that in that case one would prefer a less expensive
approach that computes the tooltip on the fly.)
The only exceptions are:
- The purpose of the header is to drag in the used symbol, e.g. unique_ptr.h
- The used symbol is inside a class or a namespace other than lyx
The reason for this is that global 'using' statements effectively forbid to
use the used symbols in any other namespace in the whole program, since simply
adding or removing an #include of the corresponding header subtly changes the
name lookup. The namespace lyx is sort of global, so it should not have these
statements either.
output of tags until we know they're needed. In the case of HTML
tables, empty cells should of course be output, so we need to force
the tags to be output.
This was dead code that did never work, and most of it was boilerplate that
you can steel in 15 minutes from any existing math inset. Apart from that it
did contain a pointer to InsetXYMatrix which would create the same problems
we saw with the macros.
* Inset::canTrackChange() had two meanings: can it deal with change tracking?
Will it paint its own CT status? The latter information is now given by
Inset::canPaintChange().
* Line thickness computation is moved from RowPainter to MetricsBase.
* Painting function for Changes moved to lyx::Change. (One new, that strikes
diagonally.)
RefChanger temporarily assigns a value to a non-const reference of any
kind. RefChanger provides a flexible and uniform generalisation of the various
scope guards previously derived from the old Changer class in MetricsInfo.h.
As before, a temporary assignment lasts as long as the Changer object lives. But
the new Changer is movable. In particular, contorsions are no longer needed to
change a private field. Special code can be moved into the appropriate classes,
and it is no longer necessary to create a new class for each specific use.
Syntax change:
FontSetChanger dummy(mi.base, value);
-> Changer dummy = mi.base.changeFontSet(value);
New function for generating arbitrary Changers:
Changer dummy = make_change(ref, val, condition);
Bugfix:
* Fix the display of \displaystyle{\substack{\frac{xyz}{}}} (missing style
change).
Boost.Signals is deprecated. This fixes bug #9943.
The only thing left to do is to rewrite (or get rid of) the boost -mt test
in config/lyxinclude.m4 not to use signals anymore.
Two better ways of making a class non-copyable in C++11:
* Store the p. impl. in a unique_ptr (for the cases of classes with p. impl.),
or:
* Define publicly the copy constructor and assignment as deleted
Lots of other classes could be cleaned up in this way.
This is a mechanical replacement. For now it seems that unique_ptrs are
essentially used for exception-safety. More could certainly be done to clarify
pointer ownership in general.
There is already a spacing of 2 pixels on each side of a button (e.g. collapsed inset). There is no need to add one extra pixel for command insets.
Fixes part of bug #10149.
The way it works is:
* the inset defines allowParagraphCustomization() correctly
* Text::getStatus acts on it.
Note that, in Text::getStatus, testing for cur.inset().allowParagraphCustomization() does not make much sense, since one should pass the cursor idx as parameter. Actually, for some reason the safest bet is to use the owner of the Text object as inset.
The way it works is:
* the inset defines forcePlainLayout() correctly
* Text::getStatus acts on it.
Note that, in Text::getStatus, testing for cur.inset().forcePlainLayout() does not make much sense, since one should pass the cursor idx as parameter.
There are many other lfuns that do not have to be handled directly by insets. InsetScript in particular has tests for way too many lfuns.
This method did access more CursorSlice than Text. It is only a setter for
CursorSlice with some bound checking. The new signature is
setPitPos(pit_type, pos_type).
The old name would be confusing wrt setSelection(), which does additional checks.
This one is a pure acessor, and the more complete methods are
* setSelection(), which avoids empty selections
* clearSelection(), which resets anchor, and sets word selection and mark more to false.
Most of the code should use these two instead of selection(bool), but this is for later.
Some headers contain
class Foo;
whereas there is no class Foo.
The list of class statements is given by
classes=`git grep '^\(class\|struct\) [a-zA-Z_:]*;' src | sed 's/^.* \(.*\);/\1/'|sort -u`
The ones that are useless are:
for c in $classes ; do grep -r "\\<$c\\>" src| grep -vq '^[^:]*:\(class\|struct\) [a-zA-Z_:]*;' || echo "$c"; done
When in a tabular cell, "this" is just a lone InsetText, while cur.inset() is the whole tabular. This makes a big difference, especially when one wants to count cells.
Fixes bug "9954.
Deriving from std::vector to provide helper functions appears a touch
excessive. Use typedef instead and move helper functions to the base class. New
header Toc.h provided to replace forward-declarations.
Remove TocIterator which is useless.
inset-select-all has 3 levels
1. select current cell
2. select all cells
3. select inset from outside.
The second level makes sense for tables (text and math), but not for things like a math fraction.
Introduce a new method Inset::isTable() that allows to detect this case properly and skip level 2.
This is done by implementing the clickable method. It is not possible yet to have the usual left and down arrows, because Qt does not implement them as far as I can see.
Factor the code that triggers row/column selection and fix the logic. Now it is possible to select also at the right of the tabular inset.
When several bufferviews exist for the same inset, the data that depends on the view width have to be BufferView-dependent. While this is the case for several mutable members of InsetCollapsable, some were missing.
This commit makes button_dim_ (renamed from button_dim) and openinlined_ bv-dependent.
Get rid of the hitButton function.
Remove the bv-independent geometry() method and implement editable() explicitely instead.
Fixes bug #9756.
When the box has a special width, one should not consider that as a fixed width. Otherwise, due to implementation quirks, the width will be set on screen as 1 inch.
A better solution would be to actually set the width by taking in account the contents width, height ans total height. This is not very difficult, but I do not know whether it would workout well in the work area.
Fixes bug #10048.
With this change, it becomes possible to run the following commands:
inset-forall Separator:latexpar char-delete-forward
inset-forall Separator:parbreak inset-modify separator plain
The first one deletes all latexpar separators. The second one turns parbreak
separators into plain separators. This is safe, flexible, and avoids adding a
new LFUN.
Regression at cfeddb929. If a flex inset has no layout upon saving (e.g. if a
module has been deleted) then its name became lost. This checks whether the name
resolution, introduced with the ObsoletedBy tag, comes back empty-handed (which
it will if the layout is not defined). In this case, we do as was done before
cfeddb929.
In addition, the use of support::token to strip "Flex:" off the beginning of the
name introduces a regression if somebody used a name containing ":". This
replaces it with support::split.
This is the same as the parbreak separator and is represented on screen
as the old parbreak. Old parbreak separators are converted to latexpar
separators when they are used for introducing blank lines in the
latex output rather than for separating environments.
Instead, parbreak separators are now represented on screen by a
double line. In essence, latexpar and parbreak separators produce
the same output but are represented differently on screen.
The context menu does not account for latexpar separators and only
"true" separators can be turned each into the other one.
The term LongTable has been deprecated and moreover the renaming makes the interface easier to the eye.
File format updated to 507. (conversion based on jamatos patch)
Layout format updated to 60.
tex2ylx tests updated.
Document EmbeddedObjects.lyx has been updated.
This fixes a failing unit test with 32bit gcc 4.9.3 and -O2 optimization:
It computed 9953 instead of 9954 for Length::inPixels() of value 2342.
The reason for this is probably different rounding behaviour caused by storing
the unrounded value in a processor register (uses 80bit accuracy) vs. writing
it back to memory (uses 64bit accuracy). The unrounded value is very close to
9953.5 (which is not representable as an exact IEEE floating point value).
Apart from that, having a proper function for rounding makes the code more
readable, and has the nice side effect to make Length::inPB() work for
negative lengths as well.
This concerns InsetPreview, InsetIPA and InsetMathHull.
Caching such a value is bad when opening the same buffer in two views.
In this case, it is not necessary to remember use_preview_ at all,
actually.
Also remove private member dim_ which is not used and remove some trailing whitespace.
Fixes bugs #9085 abd #9957.
Since the low-level version of tabular features is only called by the high-level one, it does not make sense to record undo there. It is much better to do it once in the high-level handler, rather than 37 times (yes!) at lower level when the tabular GUI calls tabular-feature with all the settings at once.
With large tables, this avoids to keep 37 copies of the table in Undo stack.
As an added bonus, this fixes bug #9960.
The tabular-features LFUN was merged with "inset-modify tabular" when
simplifying the tabular dialog at b5049e7. This choice later indirectly caused a
few regressions (#7308, #9794).
I reintroduce tabular-feature to allow more flexibility for user
commands, whereas "inset-modify tabular" is now reserved for the tabular
dialog. In particular, inset-modify tabular is no longer caught by math grid
insets. The name tabular-feature is kept to avoid renaming icons.
Known issues:
* After successfully applying a tabular command, the cursor is truncated to the
table.
* Note that the tabular dialog still has similar issues that are inherited from
the achitecture of the dialog menu. For instance the pref change can be
mis-dispatched to an inset inside a cell and cause an error, for instance:
Lexer.cpp (934): Missing 'Note'-tag in InsetNote::string2params. Got
tabular instead. Line: 0
Maybe the inset-modify LFUN should be modified to treat commands coming from
the wrong dialog (by checking the type) as unknown and undispatched so that
the parent can get it. In that case a non AtPoint variant of inset-modify
could be reintroduced in order to generalise tabular-feature. See:
http://mid.gmane.org/n4rdk1$efj$1@ger.gmane.org
External processes cannot access files which are open in LyX. Therefore the
temp files created by the external inset need to be closed right after
creation. The symptom was that the date inset did not produce any outout on
windows (bug 9925). This change reverts a small part of f09a9fe2.
Although the date inset is unimportant and will probably be removed, this
change is important for all external insets that make use of temp files.
The important thing is actually not the date inset, but the converter
machinery, which did convert the time stamps of two unused freshly created
temp files, which does not make sense, and did work before f09a9fe2 only by
accident.
This fixes the date inset on linuy, but not on windows, probably due to
different file locking semantics.
The current behaviour of the \origin parameter replaces relative file names
with the absolute original names if a document has been moved even if the
files have been moved as well. This behaviour is annoying e.g. for editing the
LyX docs in a git checkout.
Now file names are only replaced if the referenced file sdo not exist.
Preliminary work for addressing #7790. Thanks to Richard for providing initial
files this is based on.

Although af8ba5e0fixed#9321, it broke a valid use case that was
reported by a user at #9785. Hopefully we can come up with a better
fix for #9321.
This reverts commit af8ba5e069.
(http://mid.gmane.org/565E17DD.7090008@clear.net.nz)
Fix the pilcrow and the cross in the outliner for Windows and old Ubuntus.
The thin space after the cross is based on aesthetics (in Ubuntu at least) after
trying both with and without a normal space. A thin space is already used for
display in BiblioInfo.cpp, so I presume it is safe.
Ideally, I prefer ❌ (CROSS MARK), whose description fits the purpose, over ✖
(HEAVY MULTIPLICATION X), which looks too bold in the UI. Whereas ✕
(MULTIPLICATION X, successfully tested in Windows by Andrew) looks too dim. But
❌ (CROSS MARK) is next to ❎ (NEGATIVE SQUARED CROSS MARK) so it might be as
problematic as the latter.
Do not output the cross on the author name in the toc of tracked changes.
The computation of the legth of expanded hfills did not take into account their unexpanded size. This is done now by increasing the dimension (+=) instead of merely setting it.
Moreover, since the insets sizes are integer number, rounding effects have to be taken in account. To this end, the extra number of pixels is added to the last hfill in the row.
This fixes part of bug #9860.
Note not everything is fixed by this patch: the logic of ParagraphMetrics::hfillExpansion seems bogus to me. I do not see why consecutive hfills at the beginning of a row should not be all expanded. Since I do not know what are the peculiarities of hfill handling in LaTeX, I did not change it (yet).
I did not either try to investigate the label hfill part, because I do not even know what is so special about it. I think there is a lot of old logic that nobody ever tried to question.
This is done by implementing contentAlignment() for this inset.
In order to display properly 'stretch' alignment, the code for TextMetrics::getAlign is rewritten to include some code that was in computeRowMetrics.
Back references in the format string of regex_replace use the syntax $n both
in std::regex and in boost::regex for the default format. Boost seems to
support the syntax \n in addition, but it is not documented at
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/master/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/format.html.
Therefore it is a good idea to use $n also for boost.
The code in InsetTabular disables the toolbar icons and menu entries related to vertical lines.
The code in GuiTabular disables vertical lines in the Settings dialog.
Note that there was a bug in
GuiSetBorders::set(Left|Right|Top|Bottom)Enabled, where the borders
did not get drawn correctly.
Fixes bug #9816
The horizontal alignment changes caused a regression for documents in older
formats. This could have been fixed by adding the following lines to the
format entry for 489 in development/FORMAT:
Previously, the horizontal position was ignored except for the
following parameter combinations:
- fixed width and type Boxed and without inner box
- fixed width and any type and with inner box and with makebox
Now, it is also used for the parameter combination below:
- makebox is not used and not (type Boxed and without inner box)
and a corresponding conversion to convert_BoxFeatures() in
lib/lyx2lyx/lyx_2_2.py. However, it was decided to revert the box alignment
changes instead: The box alignment can contradict the paragraph alignment. A
better way to avoid the additional space that can be created by paragraph
alignment (which was the motivation for implementing box alignment) is the
same as for table cells (see noTrivlistCentering() in src/Paragraph.cpp).
This would be a file format change and it is too late now for 2.2.0.
See http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg188147.html for the
complete discussion (subject "Regression in lyx2lyx box alignment").
Please use the new function otexstream.append(str, texrow) to append an
odocstringstream with texrow information to the output when outputing to a
string buffer (e.g. case of subcaptions).
This was made visible by aab1b145a5, since xhtml export for
lib/doc/Additional.lyx caused an exception. However, the cause for this was
already present earlier: All attempts to output a std::string to an
odocstream resulted in trying to change the encoding of the stream instead,
since there is no operator<<(odocstream &, std::string) defined, and an
implicit conversion to SetEnc happened instead.
This is fixed by making the SetEnc constructor explicit and adjusting all
code parts that did not compile anymore after that. The parts of the code
that did use the wrong output operator were the std::string version of
htmlize() from output_xhtml.cpp and all changed parts in the other .cpp files.
I also removed the std::string versions of html::htmlize() and
html::cleanAttr(), since it was difficult to see which encodings were used
with these. Now we are always explcit when using html::cleanAttr() and
html::htmlize().
The rule-of-three says that if any of virtual destructor, copy constructor
or assignment operator needs to be manually implemented, then all three
should be implemented. Otherwise you can get subtle bugs which can be
difficult to find. In the changed classes, changing a copy-construction to
an assignment would have had surprising effects. Now they all behave
consistently.
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.
There are still a few warnings of the kind
(style) Variable 'x' is assigned a value that is never used.
since I did not touch code where I was not sure whether there might be a real
bug, and I kept some for symmetry reasons as well.
This generalises the new use of TocBuilder (97e8101) to listings and wraps and
removes some duplicate code.
Make sure that we will never write an empty float type again in the future
(#9760)
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
These were all found by cppcheck. Even in constructors that are there "only
because of std containers" the class should be initialized correctly. You can
never know whether such an object does not get used, and then a nice crash
caused by dereferencing a NULL-pointer is better than undefined behaviour.
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 brings the external inset on par with the graphics insets as far as the
clipping option is concerned. The graphicxs package supports both: A bounding
box without units (which means that bp ia assumed), and a bounding box with
units, so we can simply output the values including the units.
Being able to compile document with zipped .eps files was a useful feature of
the graphicxs package 20 years ago, but the LyX support is no longer relevant:
- The flag is ignored if preview is on
- If pdflatex is used then uncompressing happens during the compilation anyway
- If set, the flag prevents LyX from issuing proper error messages if
something with the image is wrong
- For hard disk capacities from 20 years ago not uncompressing is a useful
feature, but for current hard disk capacities it does not matter
- The external inset does not have it, and if we want to merge both insets
one day we would need to implement it there, which is even more difficult
than in InsetGraphics
There is no need for real-valued line width in painters. Actually, this even leads to uneven dashes for continuous spell checker.
The new code is supposed to be equivalent to the old one, just more readable. From this, we can try to see whether some lines need to be made thicker on HiDPI screens.
The strategy adopted in bc47054b had some drawbacks related to the way
instant preview snippets are generated. See the subthread starting at
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg187916.html
for details.
The strategy adopted in this commit is that of adding macro definitions
only for the macros actually used in a preview snippet, independently
of whether some macro was already used in a previous snippet. In this way
the snippets don't need to be changed according to whether they are
compiled as a whole or separately from each other. This fact was causing
the regeneration of a preview snippet whenever the cursor entered the
