As discussed on the list, but I did not need to create two new pdf formats
since any given document either uses TeX fonts or not. For the same reason
I also added an additional converter to PDF (cropped).
Writing these policies down makes it easier for newcommers to
understand guidelines and the intuition behind them.
The two policies this commit adds were responses by Georg and Richard
to two threads on the mailing list. The policies are titled
"When to set a fixed milestone" and
"Can we add rc entries in stable branch?".
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.
* \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 is a part of bug #9372. The remaining part (\ne) is not easy to fix,
since \ne is a predefined macro internally, so the HTML output is done for
the expanded macro, and we have no machinery to assign a HTML output to a
complete macro.
The reason being the backslashes in the path. Note that escaping
does not work here because the path is being interpreted multiple
times (how many times I don't know) and that would be fragile.
For this same reason, the change is not limited to Windows.
This allows to address two main issues
* \thanks does only accept one paragraph, while \footnote allows several (ticket #2666)
* footnotes in titling environments were not numbered on screen.
Moreover, the code reduces hardcoding of features, which is always a good thing.
There are several pieces in this commit:
* new numbering type \fnsymbol for counters
* the Foot inset changes its layoutName() to Foot:InTitle when inside a paragraph with InTitle property. This is set when running updateBuffer.
* Foot:intitle uses the \thanks command, does not allow multiple paragraphs and marks its contents as moving argument.
* The InsetLayouts for Foot now have properLaTeXName/Type, so that InsetFoot::latex can be removed; further code simplification is probably possible.
Fixes: #2666
C-M-a is bound to the global "select all". The
reason for this change is that selecting an inset
is a more common operation that selecting an entire
document.
This patch is the result of discussion on #7727.
This makes the script usable on windows and speeds it up by an order of
magnitude, since no new process needs to be forked for each layout file.
It also does not conevrt .old files again.
