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.
* 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.
- the idea is to color the box inset frame according to the fame color of the box (if there is any). To keep the WYSIWYM principle the frame thickness and box separation are not taken into account. However this should be possible if anybody would like that.
- besides this, use the correct conversion command for the background color
It is now possible opening documents that where manually moved to a
different location after they were saved and still produce an output.
Indeed, (hopefully) all needed included files are now still found.
When the moved document is saved again, all paths are accordingly updated.
Of course, for this to work, a document has to be saved in Format 490,
at least.
As an example, after converting the user guide to the last format, it can
be copied anywhere and opened without the need of adapting the paths of
included files or moving them to a proper place.
There is one glitch I am aware of. When moving a child document (but not
the master) the path to the master is correctly updated but it won't be
recognized as such. This is because LyX checks that the parent actually
includes this document but, of course, being the parent document not
touched, it appears not including this child. Anyway, it will also occur
when saving the child to a different location and the user is warned
on the terminal about this fact when the moved child is loaded.
However, there is no problem when it is the master that has been moved.
Avoid that \newcommand[x] definitions of math macros are pushed multiple
times to the preview loader.
Redefinitions (via \renewcommand[x]) are properly handled.
* Remove the UndoKind parameter in the general interface
* move recordUndoInset to Cursor
* remove one variant of Undo::recordUndo.
* get rid of Text::recUndo.
The only real user was Text::insertStringAsLine, but this got changed
in commit 2c7152ab.
While not other place did read the value, there is a side effect of
setAutobreakRow that merges exiting paragraphs. However, this is used
in two situations
* some constructors, where the inset is empty;
* InsetTabular::toggleFixedWidth, which actually contains itself some
code to merge paragraphs.
Therefore the member and all associated code can be removed safely.
Rely only on InsetText::allowMultipar() to get this information.
Implement this method for InsetTabular and InsetBox.
Also rely on this method for disabling LFUN_PARAGRAPH_BREAK.
Currently, only lfun names are accepeted but there are cases in which
the lfun name does not map directly to an icon. Fore example, in the
outliner, the icon named "promote" is used for the lfun outline-out.
As a result, a graphics inset is used in the documentation for describing
the corresponding icon. Now one can also use an icon name. The argument
of "info-isert icon" is firstly lookep up as an lfun. If no corresponding
icon is found, the argument is taken as the name of the icon. If no such
icon exists, the "unknown" icon is used.
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.
I am moving the corresponding code directly to InsetInfo.cpp.
Moreover, the size of the image displayed by the info inset is
now dynamically set according to the text size.
This is a bug reported and fixed by Edwin Leuven.
Here is how Edwin described it in his inimitable minimalist style:
first i merge the top-left two cells in a small, say 3x3, table
if i then merge this multicolumn cell with the remaining cell in the first row
my table ends up all bonkers
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.
Using fraction of points is a reasonable way to avoid warnings with fussy compilers.
Moreover, this fixes the output of PHRASE_LATEX2E to use the proper form \LaTeXe.
The file format still uses the questionnable form \\LaTeX2e.
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.
For exports based on LaTeX, consecutive hyphens are only converted to endash
and emdash if the current font family is not typewriter, and if none of the
parent insets is an IPA inset. Now this is done for XHTML export as well.
Rename recordUndoFullDocument to recordUndoFullBuffer.
Separate the notion of recording changes to paragraphs and recording changes in buffer parameters.
Audit every user of recordUndoFullDocument and replace it with either recordUndoBufferParams or recordUndoFullBuffer. Add comments to identify remaining work.
The listings package employs some dirty tricks internally, therefore it does
not work with utf8 encoding, but requires fixed width encodings. This version
of the fix uses ugly hardcoding instead of a layout file format change, so it
could be backported if needed.
* \caption does not need to be protected in general
* the contents of \caption arguments need to be protected, though.
All styles related to caoption inset have been audited and updated.
The special casing of captions in longtables has been removed, since there is no special case.
Fixes bug: #9177
This implement horizontal scrolling of rows to allow editing insets
(math, tabular...) that are larger then the screen. The scrolling happens
as the cursor moves, in order to make sure that the cursor is always visible.
This effectively closes an 11 years old bug.
This feature is the result of the work of Hashini Senaratne as part of
Google Summer of Code 2013. The code has been cleaned-up for inclusion
and remaining bugs have been fixed.
Fixes bug: #1083.
This resolves a dependency of src/support/docstream.cpp on src/TexRow.cpp,
which is the wrong way round. This fixes the linking
src/tests/check_ExternalTransforms with MSVC where the linker is not clever
enough to detect that the whole otexstream class is unused.
This allows to address two main issues
* \thanks does only accept one paragraph, while \footnote allows several (ticket #2666)
* footnotes in titling environments were not numbered on screen.
Moreover, the code reduces hardcoding of features, which is always a good thing.
There are several pieces in this commit:
* new numbering type \fnsymbol for counters
* the Foot inset changes its layoutName() to Foot:InTitle when inside a paragraph with InTitle property. This is set when running updateBuffer.
* Foot:intitle uses the \thanks command, does not allow multiple paragraphs and marks its contents as moving argument.
* The InsetLayouts for Foot now have properLaTeXName/Type, so that InsetFoot::latex can be removed; further code simplification is probably possible.
Fixes: #2666
The advantage is that the buffer will no longer be
marked as dirty when converting to the same type.
A quick break here is done instead of disabling the
LFUN because disabling the LFUN would lead to a greyed out
entry, which might confuse users. In the future, we might
want to have a radio button for switching between notes.
The shape of the parbreak separator is slightly changed in order to
better distinguish it from the forced newline. This allows using the
same color of the plain version without risk of confusion.
Investigation of bug #9236 showed that crash to be due to a Paragraph's
holding a dangling pointer to an old and deleted Layout after the
DocumentClass was reset. Since the backtraces look almost identical, it
seems likely that we have the same problem here.
Since this crash seems almost always to involve tables, I looked at the
code in switchBetweenClasses() and found that the Paragraphs that belong
to "hidden" table cells are not seen by the initial recursion using a
ParIterator: It skips right over them. This was confirmed by test code
suggested by Enrico, with results reported in Trac.
The present patch attempts to deal with this problem in the second
recursion, over Insets. When we see an InsetTabular, we call a new
routine that recurses through the cells, looking for hidden ones. If it
finds a hidden one, it then resets the Layout for the cell's Paragraphs
(there should be only one, but we do not make any assumptions) to the
PlainLayout that belongs to the new DocumentClass. This is good enough,
since such cells never have content.
There is extensive discussion of the patch here:
https://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg185095.html
Additional testing by Enrico and me confirmed the existence of the
dangling pointer.
This branch implements string-wise metrics computation. The goal is to
have both good metrics computation (and font with proper kerning and
ligatures) and better performance than what we have with
force_paint_single_char. Moreover there has been some code
factorization in TextMetrics, where the same row-breaking algorithm
was basically implemented 3 times.
Globally, the new code is a bit shorter than the existing one, and it
is much cleaner. There is still a lot of potential for code removal,
especially in the RowPainter, which should be rewritten to use the new
Row information.
The bugs fixed and caused by this branch are tracked at ticket #9003:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9003
What is done:
* Make TextMetrics methods operate on Row objects: breakRow and
setRowHeight instead of rowBreakPoint and rowHeight.
* Change breakRow operation to operate at strings level to compute
metrics The list of elements is stored in the row object in visual
ordering, not logical. This will eventually allow to get rid of the
Bidi class.
* rename getColumnNearX to getPosNearX (and change code accordingly).
It does not make sense to return a position relative to the start of
row, since nobody needs this.
* Re-implement cursorX and getPosNearX using row elements.
* Get rid of lyxrc.force_paint_single_char. This was a workaround that
is not necessary anymore.
* Implement proper string metrics computation (with cache). Remove
useless workarounds which disable kerning and ligatures.
* Draw also RtL text string-wise. This speeds-up drawing.
* Do not cut strings at selection boundary in RowPainter. This avoids
ligature/kerning breaking in latin text, and bad rendering problems
in Arabic.
* Remove homebrew Arabic and Hebrew support from Encoding.cpp. We now
rely on Qt to do handle complex scripts.
* Get rid of LyXRC::rtl_support, which does not have a real use case.
* Fix display of [] and {} delimiters in Arabic scripts.
Don't create an intermediate copy (found by Jean-Marc).
I doubt that this has anything to do with the mystery crash, but it works, and
following the standard patterns is better anyway.
FileName::tempName() created a new temp file name by using qt to create a
temporary file with a unique name, and then deleting that file and returning
the name. This was unsafe, since other processes or even other threads of the
running LyX could create files with the same name between deletion and then
using the temp name.
This is fixed by using the TempFile class instead. As a side effect, a few
cases where the temp files were not deleted after usage were fixed as well.
The only place that is still unsafe is createTmpDir().
The firs tinvolves a thinko in BibTeXInfo::expandFormat. We were previously
counting passes through this routine, which means: one for every character,
more or less. So long strings would hit the "recursion limit". But what
we are worried about is an infinite loop caused by misues of macros, so that
is what we need to count.
This prevents the error we were previously getting, but it reveals a huge
slowdown when one tries to open a citation inset with a large nubmer of keys.
So we also limit the number of keys we try to process, and the length of the
string we try to display, when we are generating citation information.
I'm convinced that there is a deeper problem in how citation information is
generated (see the bug tracker for more info), but that will require major
surgery and a file format change
This method is a proxy for LyXRC::preview that forces to forward
declare some wrapper around an enum...
Instead, two simple static methods previewMath() and previewText() are
introduced, that make the code much easier to follow.
If a separator inset is used after an environment with NextNoIndent
set to false, a blank line was already output. So, avoid outputting
another blank line or an odd looking line with only a '%' character
(as the previous blank line provides already a visual separation).
Multirow cells now have the same alignment rendering in LyX
as in the output. The alignment of a multirow can change as
long as the column is not of fixed width. If the column is
of fixed width, the multirow is left-aligned.
When setting a multirow, the alignment is copied from
the last cell in the selection.
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.
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.
* remove unused class TexStream.
* remove unused virtual method Inset::cellXOffset
* remove second argument of FileDialog constructor, which was actually
not used
* remove some dead local code
* remove some unused private members of classes
* in InsetMathNest::updateBuffer, fix the logic of a test
for possible thread conflicts, of the sort Georg resolved at
6a30211f. I have made static variables const where possible,
and marked cases that looked potentially problematic with the
comment:
// FIXME THREAD
Many of these definitely are vulnerable to concurrent access, such
as the static variables declared at the start of output_latex.cpp.
Suppose, e.g., we were outputting latex and also displaying the
source of a different document.
I'd appreciate it if others could grep for "FIXME THREAD" and see
if some of these are harmless, or what.
This code was commented out at [ad94e7bd/lyxgit], since we thought it was not necessary anymore and then removed at [5aede959/lyxgit]. Bug #9042 is the evidence that we were wrong.
