This is a beautiful and feature rich sans and monospaced font family
designed by Erik Spiekermann and reminiscent to his famous (and
commercial) FF Meta.
This revives a patch by Uwe and extends it. Additional options to font
packages/fontspec can now be entered in Document Settings.
This is principally also true for TeX fonts, if the new TeXFont tag
MoreOptions is set. For the time being, I have only done this for
MinionPro, as a model and prove of concept.
Note that adding more TeXFonts requires a file format change,
respectively, and changes to tex2lyx (in the same way as I've done for
MinionPro).
This addresses #8226
This is a higher-level (non-TeX) font interface of babel that draws on,
but is supposed to be used rather than, fontspec with babel and XeTeX/
LuaTeX.
File format change.
Addresses: #11614
This uses the InsetArgument interface to provide access to a document
part hitherto inaccessible by LyX: the part between \begin and the first
\item in a list (where lengths and counters can be redefined, for
instance).
Fixes: #11098
File format change, layout format change
This returns a localized version of a string (in the GUI language)
if available, removing trailing colons and accelerator marks.
This can be used to refer to dialog items in the docs in a portable way.
With this commit, info insets leave the dark backstage room of an opaque
and quite hidden dev-only feature and come frontstage.
In the UI, they present themselves as "Fields" since this is what people
know from word processors. Other user-related fields that could be
implemented next: time, user name (I plan to do that for 2.4).
Since this supersedes date-insert, I removed Insert > Date from
the menu and propose to ditch date-insert and the corresponding rc.
The lyx2lyx reversion routine has lots of room for improvement and
attractive tasks for pythons (file timestamp, switch of localization).
Please feel invited!
This is a file format change.
This effectively enables linebreaks, multipars and layout changes in
non-fixed width (i.e., standard) table columns.
Fixes: #6577
TODO: metrics are wrong (too wide) on screen with linebreaks.
This is an extra command used for sidenote citations. Since we do not
provide \cite with natbib (which tufte uses) as a choice, we use the
new AddToCiteEngine feature to add it.
File format change.
Fixes: #11150
It is now possible in the float settings (doc dialog) to specify a global
(inner) alignment for floats, and in the float settings, this can be
overridden (just as with float placement)
Fixes: #8665
File format change.
This revives a ten year old idea (and patch) by Dov.
You can now mark in the character dialog text and exclude it from spell
checking.
Fixes: #1042
File format change
Remaining issue: The instant spell checking marks are not immediately
removed, but only after some editing.
Following a request by Günter, we consider the document fonts (only rm
for now) when selecting an appropriate font encoding.
See #9741
The new default font encoding setting "auto" does
* consider the font encoding needed by the language(s), which can now
have fallback alternatives
* Consider which font encoding is provided by the document font
Thus, cm now will result in OT1 fontenc, if the language can deal with
that.
The font_enc pref is ditched: it is no longer needed.
The automatism is still very basic and is subject to extension.
File format and prefs format change.
Use the command as defined by Babel. This allows us to use the (more
advanced) Babel command if provided instead of rolling our own.
I add a dummy file format change in case it turns out we need to
do something here for old documents (e.g. with user preamble definitions)
The current spelling is not strictly wrong, but flagged as unusual or
historical by some authorities. It is also found fault with many
spell checkers. Thus we decided to move to the more standard "-ible"
form once and for all.
See #10678 for discussion
This part only covers the usage in comments and the like. More to follow.
This will all also all be backported to 2.3.x, for the sake of backwards
compatibility (cherry-picking).
Update the listings inset to optionally use the minted package
(instead of the listings one) for typesetting code listings.
Only one of the two packages can be used in a document, but it
is possible to switch packages without issues if the used options
are the same. If a switch is made and the options differ, one needs
to manually adjust them if they were entered in the advanced options
tab, or apply again the gui settings.
Note that minted requires the -shell-escape option for the latex
backend and the installation of additional software (python pygments).
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.
