New special character to mark an optional line break
without inserting a hyphen (ZWSP). See #10585.
Corresponds to the Unicode character U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE
This isn't a “space”. It is an invisible character that can be used
to provide line break opportunities.
http://unicode.org/notes/tn27/
While the literal Unicode character can be used in the LyX
file, it is invisible in the GUI.
For visible feedback, the patch adds a new special character "allowbreak".
The small mark is inspired by LibereOffice.
A tooltip is added.
Fixes: #8831
This introduces
* a new inset member isPartOfTextSequence() that returns
whether the inset produces something visible at the current position
in the text flow
* an isOpenPunctuation() test that returns whether a character is in the
'Punctuation, Open' unicode class. This is used instead of just checking
for two (Western, ASCII) opening brackets
It also fixes the isChar() and isLetter() value of InsetSpecialChar,
since some types have not been assigned correctly.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
so we can write a limited amount when using this for TOC and
tooltip output.
This should solve the problem with slowness that Kornel noticed,
which was caused by our trying to write an entire plaintext
bibliography every time we updated the TOC. We did that because
he had a bibliography inside a branch, and we use plaintext for
creating the tooltip that goes with the branch list.
Other related bugs were fixed along the way. E.g., it turns out
that, if someone had an InsetInclude inside a branch, then we would
have been writing a *plaintext file* for that inset every time we
updated the TOC. I wonder if some of the other reports of slowness
we have received might be due to this kind of issue?
I do not see where this is really useful (contrary to real plaintext). And it breaks spell checking with hunspell and 8bit disctionaries (part of bug #8526)
- 0x200c is equivalent to \textcompwordmark
- 0x2011 is equivalent to \nobreakdash-
- 0x2009 is a breakable thin space (the old definition was non-breakable)
- 0x202f is a non-breakable thin space
- add spaces 0x2007, 0x2008, 0x200a and 0x200b

counting when exporting to latex. This is done for the code comprised
between \begin{document} and \end{document}, while the preamble code
still needs manual calls to TexRow::newline() for registering new lines.

blank lines may be inadvertently output. This is achieved by using two
special iomanip-like variables (breakln and safebreakln) in the lyx::
namespace. When they are inserted in the stream, a newline is output
only if not already at the beginning of a line. The difference between
breakln and safebreakln is that, if needed, the former outputs '\n'
and the latter "%\n".
In future, the new class will also be used for counting the number of
newlines issued. Even if the infractrure for doing that is already in
place, the counting is essentially still done the old way.
There are still places in the code where the functionality of the
class could be used, most probably. ATM, it is used for InsetTabular,
InsetListings, InsetFloat, and InsetText.
The Comment and GreyedOut insets required a special treatment and a
new InsetLayout parameter (Display) has been introduced. The default
for Display is "true", meaning that the corresponding latex
environment is of "display" type, i.e., it stands on its own, whereas
"false" means that the contents appear inline with the text. The
latter is the case for both Comment and GreyedOut insets.
Mostly, the only visible effects on latex exports should be the
disappearing of some redundant % chars and the appearing/disappearing
of null {} latex groups after a comment or lyxgreyedout environments
(they are related to the presence or absence of a space immediately
after those environments), as well as the fact that math environments
are now started on their own lines.
As a last thing, only the latex code between \begin{document} and
\end{document} goes through the new class, the preamble being directly
output through odocstream, as usual.

that also makes sure it doesn't do more work than it needs to do, by
limiting the size to 40 characters. Previously, InsetBranch::addToToc()
would have added a string representing the entire contents of the
branch! It's hard to imagine that having to recalculate that sort of
thing doesn't cause some problems with speed, especially in documents
with lots of notes and branches and such.
