Before, only PDFs were being generated so latex did not compile.
Now, both PDF and EPS files are generated.
This is not efficient but could save the user some pain, which is
the goal of templates.
An alternative would be to set the default output to use pdflatex.
The layout now takes care of \begin{article} and \end{article}
by using \AtBeginDocument and \AtEndDocument.
This cleans up the template a little by removing some ERT. The
user no longer needs to read the two notes explaining why the
ERT boxes were necessary. The user also does not need to think
about why this LaTeX environment exists.
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.
If you have an unmounted dir, ac_dir, in your PATH, the call to
os.path.isfile( os.path.join(ac_dir, ac_word + ext) )
hangs. This is probably a python bug, but the result of configure.py
hanging and LyX freezing is really bad, hence this workaround.
According to the python docs, MacOS doesn't provide os.access();
the hasattr protection is used for this reason.
I was confused when I checked this. It looks like plainnat.bst
overwrites this default to use [Ref1, Ref2] style instead, but
when using natbib's defaults you get the (Ref1; Ref2) style.
This was suggested by Jean-Marc some time ago, and I simply forgot to apply.
With this change you do not see unusable menu entries like linkback on linux
anymore. I also added an entry for emf, since this will be quite useful on
windows.
ps2pdf by default produces the PDF 1.4 format. The PDF 1.3 format was
released in 2000. PDF 1.4 was released in 2001. LyX specified 1.3 as
the output version in 2002 (c1541c22), perhaps because at the time
PDF 1.4 was only a year old so some viewers did not support it.
When using CMake, the binary files are stored in <build-dir>/bin. LyX can't fin tex2lyx with the current code. So, we have to point configure.py to explicitly look in the binary dir.
'Acknowledgments' does not belong in the title but did not override
'InTitle 1' inherited from 'Abstract'. Without this patch, the
following error is given:
output_latex.cpp (1111): Error in latexParagraphs: You should not
mix title layouts with normal ones.
Thanks to Hashini Senaratne for narrowing down the problem.
As discussed on the list. No automatic contents detection is done, the user
needs to use the special paste menu instead. I used the new TempFile class
for safe temporary file handling.
The documentation would go into section 2.2 of UserGuide.lyx, but I am not
allowed to edit that document.
Before, the converter chain for DocBook -> PDF (ps2pdf) was:
docbook -> DVI
DVI -> Postscript
Postscript -> PDF (ps2pdf)
sgmltools has a backend for PostScript so the first two
steps in the above converter chain are now condensed into
one by adding the following converter for docbook -> Postscript:
sgmltools -b ps $$i
gnuhtml2latex does not handle encodings at all. Therefore the result is not
imported correctly by tex2lyx if the HTML file is encoded in anything else
than ascii or latin1 (the default of tex2lyx). The simple wrapper script
loads inputenc if needed. It may not be possible to compile the result with
LaTeX, (e.gif utf8 is used), but for running tex2lyx it will work just fine.
