The computation of length on screen depend in particular of the computation of the size of an em. Many places of the code used to rely on the width of the M character, which is not really correct:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Em_%28typography%29
In digital typography, the best value to use is the point size of the font.
* Implement FontMetrics::em(), which returns the value in pixels of the EM unit.
Convert code to use it.
* Introduce Length::inPixel(MetricsBase const &), which takes the textwidth and em information from the MetricsBase object. Convert code to use it.
* Fix several places where Length::inPixel is used without a proper em value.
* add mathed_font_em() helper function. It should eventually be removed like some other functions in MathSupport.
* Add dummy implementation of FontMetrics to tex2lyx for linking purposes.
I am moving the corresponding code directly to InsetInfo.cpp.
Moreover, the size of the image displayed by the info inset is
now dynamically set according to the text size.
This is a bug reported and fixed by Edwin Leuven.
Here is how Edwin described it in his inimitable minimalist style:
first i merge the top-left two cells in a small, say 3x3, table
if i then merge this multicolumn cell with the remaining cell in the first row
my table ends up all bonkers
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.
Fixes crash introduced in [17e435c4/lyxgit].
editable() is more related to Texted. It is false for closed collapsable insets
Eventually the two methods should be merged.
Imagemagick detects the inut file format based on contents. Therefore it does
not make sense that we prefix the to be converted file name with the extension
(assuming that the file extension matches the imagemagick format name). This
breaks formats where the extension used by LyX does not match the imagemagick
format name.
I thought I would need it to fix bug #9418, but once backwardInset() worked
it turned out that it is not needed. However, since it took me some time to
figure out the correct implementation I do not want to throw the result away.
The concept of rows and cols is no longer unique to mathed.
Each inset decides itself whether it is grid like or not, so we should not
interfere with this in the cursor slice.
If LyX thinks the export was successful but no output file was
produced for preview, then something is wrong (most likely LyX
did not detect an error that occurred during export).
Also clean up some logic.
A PDF is often still produced after a LaTeX error.
If there was an error when exporting a PDF, we now give an error
and the PDF (if it exists), where before we gave the error and
not the PDF. The GUI and command line behaviors are consistent:
in the GUI an error is given and the PDF is viewed; on the
command line, a non-zero exit code is given and a PDF is created.
This also solves what was in my mind an inconsistency: if the user
"updated" a document and there was an error, the resulting
PDF would be shown; but if the user viewed a document and there
was an error, the document would not be shown.
Note that this applies to all output formats, not just PDF.
For discussion, see:
https://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg186454.html
When scanning the LaTeX log, previously we only looked ahead 10 lines
after a "!" line and if we did not find a line number we did not count
an error. This lead to the problem that templates/ACM-sigplan.lyx was
showing a successful export and the PDF was shown (it is still
created despite the error). Now that the exit code of the latex
command is checked (as of the previous commit), an error is correctly
given, but by parsing the log better with this commit, a more
informative error is given.
Increasing the look-ahead to 15 lines leads to correct parsing of
the ACM-sigplan log. The excerpt in the log file where there are more
than 10 lines in-between the "!" line and the line number is below:
! Undefined control sequence.

Another example is posted here:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/231655/lyx-cannot-output-to-pdflatex-for-a-specific-file
Systemcall::startscript returns the exit code of the LaTeX command
that is run, but the return value was not being checked by
LaTeX::run. Instead, we relied on parsing log files. However, this
parsing is not perfect.
The return value is now checked and if the exit code of the command
is non-zero, an enum value is added to the return and the user is
notified of the error.
At a higher level, if the LaTeX command returns a non-zero exit code,
in the GUI a message such as
"Error while exporting format: PDF (LuaTeX)" will be given instead of
"Successful preview of format: PDF (LuaTeX)".
When run on the commandline, lyx -e lualatex example.lyx
will give "Error: LaTeX failed" and a non-zero exit code
where before it gave a zero exit code.
A real example of the bug this commit fixes is LyX's (as of this commit)
ACM-sigplan.lyx template.
Before this commit:
$ lyx -e pdf2 ACM-sigplan.lyx
[...snip...]
support/Systemcall.cpp (288): Systemcall: 'pdflatex "ACM-sigplan.tex"'
finished with exit code 1
$ echo $?
0
Starting with this commit:
$ mylyx master -e pdf2 ACM-sigplan.lyx
support/Systemcall.cpp (288): Systemcall: 'pdflatex "ACM-sigplan.tex"'
finished with exit code 1
Error: LaTeX failed
----------------------------------------
LaTeX did not run successfully. The command that was run exited with
error.
$ echo $?
1
This was disabled in 2009 in bea0925f but it is now safe.
From Richard:
"I am pretty sure that all the work that Peter Kümmel did with the
InGuiThread classes dealt with this issue."
This commit solves two issues:
(1) A PDF from a previous run could have been the result of a command
that exited with error (e.g. sometimes pdflatex still produces a PDF if
it exits with error). If the "View" button were clicked a second time
without changing the .lyx file, then the checksum of the .tex file would
not have changed so LyX would show the PDF (which was created from the
first run that exited with error), and this time LyX would not report
the error (because the parsing of the logs only happens when the .tex
file is compiled).
(2) A myfile.tex that results in no output does not yield a myfile.pdf.
Thus, Any myfile.pdf in the temporary directory will not be overwritten.
Before this commit, the following scenario was possible: LyX runs
pdflatex which processes myfile.tex and no error is given so LyX opens
myfile.pdf. However, it could have been the scenario that pdflatex did
not exit with error and did not create myfile.pdf, in which case
whichever myfile.pdf is being shown is not correct. To see this bug in
action, start a new document, type "abc", view the PDF, delete "abc",
view the PDF (this correctly gives an error that empty output was
created), view the PDF again (this does not give an error because the
checksum has not changed). The PDF shown will contain "abc".
Note that the above also applies to DVI files and that the fix is
general.
Using fraction of points is a reasonable way to avoid warnings with fussy compilers.
Moreover, this fixes the output of PHRASE_LATEX2E to use the proper form \LaTeXe.
The file format still uses the questionnable form \\LaTeX2e.
The problem came from the fact that Qt associates Interlingua to locale C.
Now, we do not rely anymore on the Qt locale to set the language. I suspect that the problem will still exist if the system locale is ia_IA.
Fixes bug #9267.
The old scheme was:
* multiple insertions are undone by groups of 20
* multiple deletions are undone in one big block
The new scheme is to stop merging undo elements after 2 seconds of elapsed time.
Moreover, the merging of undo elements stops when the cursor has moved. Potentially, this could allow to remove many of the finishUndo() calls.
Fixes bug #9204.
It is better to introduce a dummy blank dir in TEXINPUTS rather than
appending a blank at the end. Even if I have checked that this is not
a problem with MikTeX, some other engine (maybe texlive, but I cannot
check) could not ignore this space and take it as the name of a dir.
In this case, TEXINPUTS would not end with an empty element and the
standard search path would not be inserted there.
LyX did not display the limits of the big math operators defined by
stmaryrd.sty correctly. The reason for this was a missing check in
InsetMathSymbol::metrics(), where it is hardcoded which symbols use display
style limits and which symbols use inline limits. In an ideal world this
information would be contained explicitly in lib/symbols.
This should go to branch as well.
If a mask is missing, the TempFile class appends it to the filename.
This may be a problem with applications relying on the extension,
so explicitly add a mask.
If a compressed svg icon is present, load it instead of a png one.
Also introduce two more sizes (huge and giant icons) that should be
useful when using hires displays, as svg icons automatically scale
to the desired size without loss of quality.
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.
We have some math macros that exist only because LyX can display them easily,
but which require user preamble code. These commands should not appear in
autocompletion, they are only there to make the formulas of users who actually
need thgese symbols and know what to put into the preamble more beautiful.
This avoids invoking the insert space dialog instead of the math version. Thereafter, spaces are correctly inserted inside macro templates.
This is the last part of the fix to #9432.
Additionally, move the code to write to a stream from Cursor to CursorData (so that debugging undo is easier). We loose x_target, but I am not sure it is important.
This is the second part of bug #9432.
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.
The old hyphen replacement code did not convert hyphens if the condition
style.pass_thru || runparams.pass_thru
was met. style.pass_thru got set from inset owner (isPassThru()). Therefore
we have to consider this for the new replacement code as well.
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.
Again thanks to Scott for finding this. The removal of the check for full
unicode in eb121f999 was not wanted. Now listings can be exported to
lualatex and xetex again.
Thanks to Scott for testing. If a macro is unknown (displayed in red), then
macro_ is 0. The LATTEST is now adjusted and works like in MathMacro::write()
where I stole it from.
For exports based on LaTeX, consecutive hyphens are only converted to endash
and emdash if the current font family is not typewriter, and if none of the
parent insets is an IPA inset. Now this is done for XHTML export as well.
The math icons for the symbol image in the math completer were hardcoded to the
command names. This is wrong for some icons for various reasons, e.g. the case
insensitivity of windows file systems. Therefore we have to use the replacement
list which is also used for the toolbar icons. Bug #3538 is not closed because
of this problem, but IMHO it has nothing to do with this bug, it is a more
general one.
There are several places in the code where a row is painted with drawing disabled in the painter. The goal is only to recompute inset positions.
Such a case happens in BufferView::checkCursorScrollOffset, as part of the horizontal scrolling patch. Note that this particular piece of code should eventually be removed, since it is a performance problem.
It makes sense to consider that only a real painting of a row should change its status. However, I would not be surprised if this change would break other things.
Fixes: #9388

The textcyr test did not work anymore, since the output of
"CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER VE" changed from \textcyr{\char226} to \textcyr{\cyrv}.
The the old version is now converted to ERT. In theory it could also be
converted to "CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER VE", but this would mean to maintain an
extra list, which is not worth the effort.
Rename recordUndoFullDocument to recordUndoFullBuffer.
Separate the notion of recording changes to paragraphs and recording changes in buffer parameters.
Audit every user of recordUndoFullDocument and replace it with either recordUndoBufferParams or recordUndoFullBuffer. Add comments to identify remaining work.
After the str-metrics merge, the kludge for displaying symbols whose
code point corresponds to a soft-hyphen was not working anymore.
The solution is replicating the offending glyphs with index 0x00ad
at a different index. They were replicated at 0x00ac, whose glyph
was missing in all affected fonts.
However, this would not work by alone because, if a system font with
same family name exists, it would be picked up instead of the right one
(at least on non-Windows platforms). For this reason, the style of the
fonts has been changed from "Regular" to "Lyx", so that we can discriminate
the right font. However, this requires using at least Qt 4.8. If an
older Qt is used *and* a system font with same family name is already
available, the affected glyphs will all turn out on screen as the
"logical not" symbol.
I have also set the executable flag on the font files, because on Windows
they are loaded only in this case.
This solves #9229.
The problem was that the conversion to plain text (which is used as an
intermediate step) requires for some insets a valid buffer pointer, but
insets in the cut stack do not have one. Now we use the same temp buffer
business as for copying to the external clipboard.
This commit fixes a thinko in [8bab2338/lyxgit] causing the warning:
QObject::connect: No such slot lyx::frontend::GuiPreferences::slotApplyRC() in ../../../../src/frontends/qt4/GuiPrefs.cpp:3308
QObject::connect: (sender name: 'applyPB')
QObject::connect: (receiver name: 'PrefsUi')
This fixes the -geometry command line option and restores the
"Use icons from system's theme" checkbox in the preferences.
There is still code addressing Qt4 and xlib that has to be
audited. This code cannot be compiled with Qt5 because the
default backend is now xcb and not xlib. I have marked such
code with a "FIXME QT5" comment.
The listings package employs some dirty tricks internally, therefore it does
not work with utf8 encoding, but requires fixed width encodings. This version
of the fix uses ugly hardcoding instead of a layout file format change, so it
could be backported if needed.
This is needed since src/support calls lots of qt code, and some parts of it
(e.g. QFileInfo) require a running event loop. This fixes bug #4917 which is
a symptom of the problem.
The fix is to create a QCoreApplication for tex2lyx, lyxclient and LyX running
without GUI. In the future this could be extended, i.e. to split up the
frontend Application class in a GUI and a console class, and having the
console class use LyXConsoleApp in the same way as Application now uses
GuiApplication. If that is done, one could also think of moving
support/ConsoleApplication to frontend/console/ConsoleApplication.
* \caption does not need to be protected in general
* the contents of \caption arguments need to be protected, though.
All styles related to caoption inset have been audited and updated.
The special casing of captions in longtables has been removed, since there is no special case.
Fixes bug: #9177
This implement horizontal scrolling of rows to allow editing insets
(math, tabular...) that are larger then the screen. The scrolling happens
as the cursor moves, in order to make sure that the cursor is always visible.
This effectively closes an 11 years old bug.
This feature is the result of the work of Hashini Senaratne as part of
Google Summer of Code 2013. The code has been cleaned-up for inclusion
and remaining bugs have been fixed.
Fixes bug: #1083.
This resolves a dependency of src/support/docstream.cpp on src/TexRow.cpp,
which is the wrong way round. This fixes the linking
src/tests/check_ExternalTransforms with MSVC where the linker is not clever
enough to detect that the whole otexstream class is unused.
