Avoid that \newcommand[x] definitions of math macros are pushed multiple
times to the preview loader.
Redefinitions (via \renewcommand[x]) are properly handled.
If use of hyperref is detected, the postscript route is not attempted
(because we know it will fail) and the PDF route is directly chosen.
Also account for all upper case extensions for pdflatex image files.
Was forgetting this last bit from 64e0c558. Also give a message such
that the user is informed that not everything is lost if latex fails.
With this, the previews are generated also when the document directly
specifies a specific pdf output format.
This is a followup commit to 691fdea3 and restores the behavior of the
script as it was intended before 64e0c558, other than taking into account
possible inclusion of files that only pdflatex can process and the
possibility of multiple defined math macros.
The instant previews in the math manual now work again.
- enrich the examples
- add info about naming
- formatting fixes to improve the layout of the PDF
- make the document compilable also if the package insdljs is not installed
If pdftocairo is detected, it is used for generating bitmaps in the
legacy method route in preference to ghostscript. This is justified
by the fact that the conversion is 4 to 5 times faster and the
quality of the generated images is superior.
When the dvipng route is selected and latex fails, the lyxpreview2bitmap.py
script simply bails out. The failure may be due to using a specific pdf
only feature in ERT (for example, the inclusion of a pdf image).
In this case the procedure may succeed simply trying to use pdflatex
and the legacy conversion method.
The \lightning symbol is text mode only. Hence, for using it in
mathed, it must be inserted in a text mode environment such as
\mbox, \text, etc. However, as it is not marked as textmode,
LyX "helpfully" encloses it in \ensuremath everytime one tries
to put it in a text mode environment, thus defying the countermeasure.
By declaring it textmode only, LyX stops doing that and thus it can be
correctly output by simply selecting it and hitting Ctrl-M.
