These were added when the user guide was converted to latest format.
Their purpose is assuring that the vertical spacing is not changed for
old documents. Given that they also assure that the bad spacings in
nested item environments is preserved, let's simply get rid of them.
The path argument of checkProg* was added to the PATH list in a nested
loop such that the list doubles in size each time the loop is executed,
thus also slowing down detection of missing programs.
The strategy adopted in bc47054b had some drawbacks related to the way
instant preview snippets are generated. See the subthread starting at
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg187916.html
for details.
The strategy adopted in this commit is that of adding macro definitions
only for the macros actually used in a preview snippet, independently
of whether some macro was already used in a previous snippet. In this way
the snippets don't need to be changed according to whether they are
compiled as a whole or separately from each other. This fact was causing
the regeneration of a preview snippet whenever the cursor entered the
corresponding inset, even if the generated image would have not changed.
The problem of defining or redefining a macro is taken care by the
python scripts.
The escaping of symbols read from unicodesymbols was inconsistent, which lead
to wrong replacements (bug 9559). Now the escaping is consistent: unicode_reps
contains unescaped LaTeX commands, the needed escaping for LyX files is
applied in put_cmd_in_ert() and lyx2latex().
This is bug #9612. The patch is from Günter Milde. He wrote:
The patch uses the "long" macro names (\llless and \gggtr) to minimize
name-clash probability. (There is, e.g., a name clash of \lll with Babel's
polish.ldf (cf. bug #6197))
This is for people who cannot grasp the superior conventions of emacs ;)
A new argument "partial" has been added to word-upcase, word-lowcase
and word-capitalize that restores the old emacs-like behavior.
The (x)emacs bindings are updated to use the "partial" argument, and
also to bind correctly M-u and M-l (M-c is unfortunately not
available).
Fixes bug #2826.
* Provide for vector fonts only if needed.
* Make sure microtype doesn't throw a trantum in dvi mode.
* Use correct macro definition in preview insets.
