This was not necessary when LyX was generously outputting newlines.
As it may happen that the output produced by writeExternal (the
result of an external inset) starts right at the beginning of a
line, if otexstream does not know that something is already on
the line, the iomanip-like variable 'breakln' fails to actually
break the line.
This is what LyX was previously doing. It has no effect on vertical
spacing but, for example, sectioning commands stand out on the output.
The parbreak is not output if an environment follows or the alignment
of the current or next paragraph is changed.
Also remove some superfluous code.
The code for detecting python commands and substituting in the
correct prefix is now merged with what used to be libScriptSearch()
and is now renamed to commandPrep(). This commit does not change
any functionality and just improves organization to reduce the
chance of bugs in the future.
Now the replacement is done in startScript(). In addition to making
the code cleaner and more consistent, this commit fixes a bug where
"$$s" was not replaced when "latex=" was specified in the extra flags
of a converter.
Note that the temporary fix at 731b8610 is reverted with this commit.
New option: LYX_REQUIRE_SPELLCHECK. If set and no spellchecker found
stop the compilation
if not set, compile in many speckeckers as possible from the set
of 'ASPELL', 'Hunspell', 'Enchant'
The algorithm used for breaking a paragraph in LaTeX export is changed
for avoiding spurious blank lines causing too much vertical space.
This change is tied to the introduction of a new inset (with two
different specializations) helping in either outputing LaTeX paragraph
breaks or separating environments in LyX. Both of the above goals were
previously achieved by the ---Separator--- layout and can now be
accomplished by the new inset in a more natural way. As an example,
after leaving an environment by hitting the Return key for two times,
a third return automatically inserts a parbreak inset, which is
equivalent to the old separator layout, i.e., it also introduces a
blank line in the output. If this blank line is not wanted, the
parbreak separator can be changed to a plain separator by a right
click of the mouse. Of course, an environment can still be separated
by the following one by using the Alt+P+Return shortcut (or the
corresponding menu key), but now the plain separator inset is used
instead of the old separator layout, such that no blank line occurs in
the LaTeX output.
Old documents are converted such that the LaTeX output remains unchanged.
As a result of this conversion, the old separator layout is replaced by
the new parbreak inset, which may also appear in places where the old
algorithm was introducing blank lines while the new one is not.
Note that not all blank lines were actually affecting the LaTeX output,
because a blank line is simply ignored by the TeX engine when it occurs
in the so called "vertical mode" (e.g., after an alignment environment).
The old ---Separator--- layout is now gone and old layout files using it
are also automatically converted.
Round trip conversions between old and new format should leave a document
unchanged. This means that the new behavior about paragraph breaking is
not "carried back" to the old format. Indeed, this would need introducing
special LaTeX commands in ERT that would accumulate in roundtrip
conversions, horribly cluttering the document. So, when converting a
modified document to old formats, the LaTeX output may slightly differ in
vertical spacing if the document is processed by an old version of LyX.
In other words, forward compatibility is guaranteed, but not backwards.
This has the advantage of simplifying our code and to produce the
correct output: the small capitals should have the exact same width as
the lower case letters.
The slanted fonts are also translated to oblique on Qt side, but this
does not seems to have an effect in my testing. It may be that proper
oblique fonts need to be installed.
