- Additional.lyx: update description and convert some TeX code to the multicolumn inset
- multicol.module: restore the preamble settings that was accidentally removed bin the previous commit
- both files: remove \CJKindent which prevented the compilation with XeTeX, load the xeCJK package which is necessary to get text lines broken at the page margin
Both files are still compilable with pdfTeX because then xeCJk does simply nothing.
- Intro: replace TeX code by its LyX inset and alsoremove unnecessary document class option "cjk"
With LyX configured in this way, the user would only need to:
File > New from Template > EPS.lyx (or PDF-cropped.lyx):
- insert a math inset and type in an equation, or create whatever
content LaTeX can handle,
- view/export to cropped EPS/PDF.
This would allow for LyX to act as a "generator for includable graphics" (equations, commented graphics, etc).
This fixes bug #7839.
- mention that the aa class loads natbib to avoid compilation errors
- the aa package contains an outdated an customized version of natbib.sty. This file only works with aa, but breaks the compilation of many other files on your system, therefore remove the bibliography and replace it by BibTeX
- add a note about the encoding
(unless it's already there, in which case it should move to the end of the next paragraph).
Change the preference setting name (mac_like_word_movement to mac_like_cursor_movement)
to better reflect its function.
Patch and description from Bennett Helm
* InsetBox and GuiBox: Use proper empty length instead of the broken -9.99col% trick
* some slight changes to the logic of GuiBox to make sure that values are set as needed.
* lengthToWidget(): handle properly the empty length case. All the other related Qt helpers did it already, it was probably an oversight. Also set the default_unit parameter as optional (not needed in this patch actually, but I got carried away :)
* allow generating LaTeX code for an empty length, since some broken code does that.
- make template compilable
- update it according to the latest AEA guidelines
- add 4 missing styles to the layout:
* \keywords
* \JEL
* figurenotes environment
* tablenotes environment
Before, only PDFs were being generated so latex did not compile.
Now, both PDF and EPS files are generated.
This is not efficient but could save the user some pain, which is
the goal of templates.
An alternative would be to set the default output to use pdflatex.
The layout now takes care of \begin{article} and \end{article}
by using \AtBeginDocument and \AtEndDocument.
This cleans up the template a little by removing some ERT. The
user no longer needs to read the two notes explaining why the
ERT boxes were necessary. The user also does not need to think
about why this LaTeX environment exists.
The default citation capability of LaTeX is not a true numerical
citation engine, rather it uses a mixture of labels/numbers. Thus
we now distinguish them: "numerical" always increments the bibitem
counter and uses its value as a numerical citation label, while
"default" only uses the bibitem counter when no label is provided.
LyX file format incremented to 471.
These should be used if any new style needs to be introduced in the stable
2.1 series: If the ForceLocal flag of the style is set, it will always be
written to the document header, so that even older 2.1 versions can read
and correctly output the document.
If you have an unmounted dir, ac_dir, in your PATH, the call to
os.path.isfile( os.path.join(ac_dir, ac_word + ext) )
hangs. This is probably a python bug, but the result of configure.py
hanging and LyX freezing is really bad, hence this workaround.
According to the python docs, MacOS doesn't provide os.access();
the hasattr protection is used for this reason.
I was confused when I checked this. It looks like plainnat.bst
overwrites this default to use [Ref1, Ref2] style instead, but
when using natbib's defaults you get the (Ref1; Ref2) style.
This was suggested by Jean-Marc some time ago, and I simply forgot to apply.
With this change you do not see unusable menu entries like linkback on linux
anymore. I also added an entry for emf, since this will be quite useful on
windows.
ps2pdf by default produces the PDF 1.4 format. The PDF 1.3 format was
released in 2000. PDF 1.4 was released in 2001. LyX specified 1.3 as
the output version in 2002 (c1541c22), perhaps because at the time
PDF 1.4 was only a year old so some viewers did not support it.
When using CMake, the binary files are stored in <build-dir>/bin. LyX can't fin tex2lyx with the current code. So, we have to point configure.py to explicitly look in the binary dir.
'Acknowledgments' does not belong in the title but did not override
'InTitle 1' inherited from 'Abstract'. Without this patch, the
following error is given:
output_latex.cpp (1111): Error in latexParagraphs: You should not
mix title layouts with normal ones.
Thanks to Hashini Senaratne for narrowing down the problem.
As discussed on the list. No automatic contents detection is done, the user
needs to use the special paste menu instead. I used the new TempFile class
for safe temporary file handling.
The documentation would go into section 2.2 of UserGuide.lyx, but I am not
allowed to edit that document.
Before, the converter chain for DocBook -> PDF (ps2pdf) was:
docbook -> DVI
DVI -> Postscript
Postscript -> PDF (ps2pdf)
sgmltools has a backend for PostScript so the first two
steps in the above converter chain are now condensed into
one by adding the following converter for docbook -> Postscript:
sgmltools -b ps $$i
gnuhtml2latex does not handle encodings at all. Therefore the result is not
imported correctly by tex2lyx if the HTML file is encoded in anything else
than ascii or latin1 (the default of tex2lyx). The simple wrapper script
loads inputenc if needed. It may not be possible to compile the result with
LaTeX, (e.gif utf8 is used), but for running tex2lyx it will work just fine.
- we found out that Kazakh is currently not supported by babel nor polyglossia so that using Kazakh as language will break the compilation, Günter proposed therefore this encoding change until Kazakh is supported.
- this is not the way it goes, all Tutorials should stay identical as possible, moreover there is no need to disable PDF bookmarks because the document compiles without problems, moreover I still manage the documentation and as long as there is no beta for LyX 2.1 please keep the fileformat of LyX 2.0
- if you have problems compiling a file, report this as bug or the docmentation mailing list! or at least write me a mail
The reasons are specified in the note at the top of the template:
It is possible to export with plain LaTeX but an option must be
specified to remove some elements (e.g. JSS logo).
If the 'nols' option were set, the files could be output with plain
LaTeX as well; but because letterspacing is an important part of the
Tufte design, letterspacing is preserved and pdf2 is set as the
default output format. This is now explained in a note.
