\framebox{} is equal to \fbox{} and \makebox{} is equal to \mbox{}
When I once wrote this code LyX did not support \fbbox and \mbox and therefore had to use a workaround.
The math parser could not handle multicolumn grids. This is a problem because
there is no true ERT in math (everything is parsed).
Now multicolumn cells are parsed correctly. The display is also somewhat OK,
but apart from that any multicolumn related UI is missing. Since the file
format change is now done the UI can be added at any later point. The most
important part of bug 396 is now fixed: tex2lyx does not create invalid .lyx
files anymore for formulas containing \multicolumn.
I updated the tex2lyx test cases that produce correct output. tex2lyx does
still produce invalid output for the test cases which are not updated because
of the previous format change.
Revert "tex2lyx testfiles: update to latest fileformat"
This reverts commit afdfc3cf43.
The tex2lyx test vrefernces must be produced by tex2lyx, otherwise the tests
would still fail.
The FontMetrics dummy class was in the wrong namespace. Linking on linux
did work because the GNU linker is more clever than the MSVC linker for this
particular example and throws out more unused code, so that theFontMetrics was
not referenced at all.
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.
tex2lyx did not use the InsetLayout for the script insets, so it did not know
that it had to use Plain Layout. However, there is still a possible pitfall:
InsetScript uses a hard coded plain layout for the InsetText constructor, so
if anybody would remove ForcePlain 1 and MultiPar false from the InsetLayout
then LyX would still write script insets with plain layout, but tex2lyx would
output standard layout again.
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.
Previously, tex2lyx did not remove the \protect which is output by LyX in
front of \nobreakdash- if needed. Now tex2lyx removes it unconditionally (like
it does elsewhere), because LyX will add it if needed.
Previously, consecutive dashes in .lyx files were combined to endash and emdash
in some cases, and in other cases they were output as is. This made the code
complicated, and resulted in inconsitencies ((bug #3647).
Now, a dash in a .lyx file is always a dash in the output, for all flavours.
The special handling is moved to the input side, so that you still get an
endash if you type two hyphens. If needed, this can be changed or made
customizable without the need to update the file format again. Many thanks
for the fruitful mailing list dicsussion, which contributed significantly to
the final version.
The textcyr test did not work anymore, since the output of
"CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER VE" changed from \textcyr{\char226} to \textcyr{\cyrv}.
The the old version is now converted to ERT. In theory it could also be
converted to "CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER VE", but this would mean to maintain an
extra list, which is not worth the effort.
This is needed since src/support calls lots of qt code, and some parts of it
(e.g. QFileInfo) require a running event loop. This fixes bug #4917 which is
a symptom of the problem.
The fix is to create a QCoreApplication for tex2lyx, lyxclient and LyX running
without GUI. In the future this could be extended, i.e. to split up the
frontend Application class in a GUI and a console class, and having the
console class use LyXConsoleApp in the same way as Application now uses
GuiApplication. If that is done, one could also think of moving
support/ConsoleApplication to frontend/console/ConsoleApplication.
This is the first part of bug #8553. \textgreek was interpreted as the
polyglossia version even if polyglossia was not used. Now it is not recognized
at all and converted to ERT, but this ensures at least correct LaTeX output.
Previously tex2lyx did ignore table columns if the column specifier was
unknown. This can lead to data loss, and now it does not ignore these columns,
but assumes that the column specifiers use only once character. This can still
lead to data loss, but less often.
If the user gave the -fixednec argument to tex2lyx then set that encoding as
LaTeX input encoding in the generated LyX file. Otherwise, included .bib files
could be interpreted using a wrong encoding.
Now we can handle all types of captions defined in layout files or modules.
This does also mean that \captionabove and \captionbelow are only recognized
in KOMA-classes and not always anymore, but this is correct, since these
captions would not work in other document classes anyway.
This fixes the tex2lyx test test-refstyle-theorems.tex. It seems that the
intent of the fix was to remove a \protect in front of a \caption,
\captionabove or \captionbelow, but the implementation did not really do that.
Furthermore, it is not clear in which cases a \protect in front of a caption
needs to removed, and in which cases it needs to be kept: After looking at the
LyX sources I could not see that caprions are always output with \protect.
These are now in version.cpp. The build machinery should therefore make sure
that version.cpp is recompiled at every compilation.
These variables are now referred to by the other places that made use of __DATE__ and __TIME__.
If we are testing tex2lyx the first time, then the userdir
is empty. We call now configure.py to initalize in case it is needed.
The algorithm to detect if reconfigure is needed mimics the lyx behaviour.
