Use the function support:truncateWithEllipsis() to shorten a docstring with
... at the end. Actually we use U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS instead of "..." when
automatically shortening strings. This is to be consistent with Qt's own
truncation and is much nicer on the screen.
This includes the bugs #9575 and #9572 regarding broken text elision in the
outliner.
Known issues (non-regressions):
* TocBackend::updateItem() should be rewritten to update all TOCs. (#8386)
* "..." should be replaced with … everywhere else on the interface (including
translation strings).
* We should prefer to rely on QFontMetrics::elidedText() to truncate strings
with an ellipsis whenever possible, or an equivalent for the buffer view
dependent on the font metrics. See the warning in src/support/lstrings.h.
* New TOC "math-macro". This means that math macros can now be accessed in the
outline pane in their order of appearance or in alphabetical order, and can be
searched using the filter.
* Lists of floats now show subfloats deeper in the navigation menu
* The arbitrary 30 element cut-off after which nothing is shown except "Open
Navigator..." is removed. Menus now have no limit in size, so Qt may display
them scrollable. In exchange, we always show "Open outliner..." at the
beginning. I tested for performance issues with a rather complex document and
it is fine; but this does not exclude corner cases with lots of TOC entries of
a certain kind. If necessary, populating the navigation sub-menu should be
delayed like the main menu.
* Elements that do not contribute to the output (e.g. in a note, a disabled
branch) are now preceded with a symbol indicating this status. (The machinery
was already there; I wonder why it was not implemented already.) I have chosen
U+274E NEGATIVE SQUARED CROSS MARK.
* Fix the contextual menus in the outliner (bug introduced at 94e992c5).
* Toc item now move to the caption when present, but first center on the float,
to prevent the situation where the caption is at the top of the screen and the
contents of the float is off-screen above the caption.
(Internally, the action of the toc items can now be customised)
* Fix the LyXHTML output. Disabled captions no longer appear in the list of
figures.
We introduce TocBuilder for building TOCs that take into account both float
insets and their captions.
* Floats without caption are shown with their content.
* Floats with a caption are shown with their caption, but clicking the entry now
correctly moves to the float and not to the caption.
* Subsequent captions produce additional entries in the TOC.
* Figures and subfigures are correctly ordered in the outliner.
* New TOC "senseless" for captions appearing alone (a bit like broken references
are still displayed in the menu and outliner).
* Disable LFUN_CAPTION_INSERT if there is already a caption in a listing
Known issues:
* Inconsistent output for includes located inside floats
* We should record the end of the float in addition of the beginning for a more
accurate cursor -> outliner entry conversion

There are several places I was not sure what to do. These are marked
by comments beginning "LASSERT:" so they can be found easily. At the
moment, they are at:
Author.cpp:105: // LASSERT: What should we do here?
Author.cpp:121: // LASSERT: What should we do here?
Buffer.cpp:4525: // LASSERT: Is it safe to continue here, or should we just return?
Cursor.cpp:345: // LASSERT: Is it safe to continue here, or should we return?
Cursor.cpp:403: // LASSERT: Is it safe to continue here, or should we return?
Cursor.cpp:1143: // LASSERT: There have been several bugs around this code, that seem
CursorSlice.cpp:83: // LASSERT: This should only ever be called from an InsetMath.

so we can write a limited amount when using this for TOC and
tooltip output.
This should solve the problem with slowness that Kornel noticed,
which was caused by our trying to write an entire plaintext
bibliography every time we updated the TOC. We did that because
he had a bibliography inside a branch, and we use plaintext for
creating the tooltip that goes with the branch list.
Other related bugs were fixed along the way. E.g., it turns out
that, if someone had an InsetInclude inside a branch, then we would
have been writing a *plaintext file* for that inset every time we
updated the TOC. I wonder if some of the other reports of slowness
we have received might be due to this kind of issue?
Only the first paragraph in those sequences goes into the TOC, since the environment is merged.
This is needed to handle the forthcoming beamer environments properly in the outliner.
as the tooltip. This isn't redundant, since the TOC itself might
truncate the display string.

that also makes sure it doesn't do more work than it needs to do, by
limiting the size to 40 characters. Previously, InsetBranch::addToToc()
would have added a string representing the entire contents of the
branch! It's hard to imagine that having to recalculate that sort of
thing doesn't cause some problems with speed, especially in documents
with lots of notes and branches and such.

At some point we should implement that the tooltips are only shown when they are not completely shown in the outliner. However, this requires extending the QTreeView class.

Replaced various replica of such check with the invocation of the new method.
TocBackend now does not call addToToc() for internal buffers.

* TocBackend: Give public access to the docIterator of the TocItem. In this way, the TocWidget can find the Inset which is related to the TocItem.

* TocBackend.cpp (updateItem): pass option AS_STR_INSETS to asString,
so that insets get a chance to be displayed in ToC.

Changes::addToToc(): New method to insert changes sorted by authors. The symbols 0x2702 and 0x270d are used to represent deletion and insertion.
TocBackend::item(): new method to lookup for a given item.

* Buffer: new updateTocItem() signal (with Delegates and GuiView associates).
* TocBackend: take care of the signal emission instead of the Cursor::checkBufferStructure()
* TocModel: new updateTocItem() method.

The need for a LayoutPtr arises from the fact that (a) we do not want to give our clients a Layout &, since we do not want them to be able to change our Layout; but (b) we also need to be able to change which layout is ours. So we cannot store a Layout const &. Or so it seems to the compiler.

Sorry, Andre, but this broke not only the modules stuff but the general handling of TextClasses. I'm not opposed to doing this sort of thing, but it's going to be a little more complicated. I'll do it when I get a bit of time, or I can explain what the issue is here if you want to do it.
I'll separately re-commit some of the cleanup here.

Also a few cosmetical changes where I xould not resist.
Would be nice if the 'modules people' could verify that their baby
is strill alive...
