FontEncoding L7x required for hyphenation but no longer set
by Babel (since 2017-12-06).
The PostBabelPreamble now sets L7x for Lithuanian, if it is defined
and restores the previous font encodng on exit.
At the time, there were two competing packages for French language:
frenchle (aka french.sty), the historical one, and frenchb.ldf, the
new kid on the block. I was difficult to know which one was loaded by
babel, and frenchle did not define \og and \fg. Thus the need for our
own definition.
These were the good old days, but this time is gone for good.
It is now possible to specify in the lib/language file whether screen
rows can be broken anywhere (CJK languages) or only at work boundary.
Set WordWrap to false for the CJK languages (notice that japanese-cjk
had been forgotten before).
Moreover, remove a test for separators in row element that was not
really helpful.
Fixes part of ticket #10299.
AsBabelOptions was introduced 2010 in [cc5dd37a2a05/lyxgit].
Since the re-orgianization and opening of the Babel package to
"contributed" language definitions in March 2013, it is no longer required.
Clean up after Part 1 [1361f1a45f23/lyxgit].
While not required for hyphenation, using T1 as default font encoding
helps with text in Latin script (pre-composed accented characters,
Nordic letters "eth" and "thorn").
While HE8 provides more characters and prevents use of bitmap fonts,
forcing its use may break older installations.
The dedicated test file 012_hebrew_he_HE8.lyx provides an
example for use of HE8 encoded fonts with babel-hebrew.
With the re-orgianization and opening of the Babel package by Javier Bezos
(version 3.9 released March 2013), "contributed" language definitions are
also recognized if the language is given as global option.
If there is no objection or regression in tests,
Part 2 will remove the hard-coded part of AsBabelOptions.
With this commit, info insets leave the dark backstage room of an opaque
and quite hidden dev-only feature and come frontstage.
In the UI, they present themselves as "Fields" since this is what people
know from word processors. Other user-related fields that could be
implemented next: time, user name (I plan to do that for 2.4).
Since this supersedes date-insert, I removed Insert > Date from
the menu and propose to ditch date-insert and the corresponding rc.
The lyx2lyx reversion routine has lots of room for improvement and
attractive tasks for pythons (file timestamp, switch of localization).
Please feel invited!
This is a file format change.
