The lyx2lyx conversion for format 352 was incomplete: It should have been
added the \use_indices setting, but it relied on the fact that the default in
LyX for missing \use_indices is the same as the old format without that
setting used. However, the default might change in the future, and later
lyx2lyx conversions rely on that setting as well.
trim_eol() assumes that a line always ends either with \n, \r, or \r\n.
This assumption is always valid except for the last line of a document, since it
may miss the trailing newline. LyX does not create such documents, bu they may
result from automatic creation tools, and LyX can read them, so lyx2lyx should
be able to read them as well.
This is mainly needed to reduce the amount of ERT if you convert AMS example
documents with tex2lyx. No GUI support is needed, since \notag is equivalent
to \nonumber.
This is a follow-up of bug #8967. The implementation is self-explaining, the
only part which needs a comment is lyx2lyx: Since a 100% correct solution is
not possible, it has been decided not to switch amsmath off in the forward
conversion if no other ams command than \smash[t] and \smash[b] is used, but
to consider it a bug that older versions do not load amsmath automatically for
these commands. In the backward direction it is easy to keep the document
compilable, so just do that.
Beamer documents do not have a "--Separator--" layout but a
"Separator" one. Also fix a thinko causing the deletion of
"\end_layout" tags in some cases.
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.
lyx2lyx sets all new math packages to off when converting from old formats.
This is correct if any command which would cause an automatic package loading
exists in the document. However, it is wrong if no command exists: This leads
to problems if later a command is added (bug #9069), which is especially
annoying for templates.
The fix consists of two parts:
1) convert_use_package() considers now the used commands like
revert_use_package(), and uses them to decide whether to set the package to
auto or off.
2) convert_undertilde() and revert_undertilde() use a slightly adjusted copy of
convert_use_package() and revert_use_package(), so that the bug is also
fixed for undertilde. We cannot use the latter functions directly, because
of "\usepackage undertilde" vs. "\use_undertilde".
When doing the lyx2lyx round trip of the 2.0.8 user guide from format
413 -> 474 -> 413 you get an invalid document, because the math packages
mhchem and undertilde are incorrectly converted.
It turned out that the old reversion code did only work for particular
package oderings. The new one works for abitrary sorted packages.
