The unicodesymbols file should be audited in order to add the
mathalpha flag to all symbols having a math representation.
If the flag is missing, when pasting in mathed a given symbol
with a math definition, one gets \text{\ensuremath{\symbname}}
because LyX assumes that the symbol is a textmode one by default.
* do not ignore Japanese (platex) with system fonts.
* CJK can be used with XeTeX and TeX-fonts if the input encoding is utf8.
do not ignore.
* TODO: set non-TeX fonts and uninvert where possible.
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").
Fixes wrong and missing characters in text parts in other languages
(platex does not support "inputenc").
Fixes compilation errors due to desynchronized encoding switches.
* Force unicodesymbols conversion for all *-platex input encodings,
* except some characters that work well in utf8.
* Use platex if document language is "japanese" and input encoding is "utf8".
The category tag was rarely used and thus not very useful. This adds
categorization to most modules (the rest will follow) and uses the
\DeclareCategory tag we use in layouts rather than the extra syntax
we used in modules. Categories are now added to the po files and
translated.
Note that this is work in progress: the current categories are still
subject to change.
The ultimate goal of this is to sort the modules in the GUI by category
as we do with layouts, examples and templates (and add a filter to search
for specific modules)
As it is now (with the many modules we accumulated), the module selector
is not really usable anymore. If you don't happen to know how exactly a
module is named, selecting a module is really a PITA.
* New: support also utf8 (working around false positive test in "inputenc.sty").
* Do not force the change of input encoding to "ascii".
Deny compilation with XeTeX if a document uses TeX fonts and a non-supported input encoding.
* some Japanese (platex) documents fail with inputenc "utf8-platex"
(missing characters in non-Japanese text parts), because the
Unicodechar definitions from "inputenc" are not used.
* some Japanes (platex) documents show wrong output with "auto",
because platex ignores the encoding switch for text parts
in other languages.
* Japanese Beamer documents must set default output to "pdf",
because dvipdfm(x) produces wrong output with document class "Beamer".
* update tagging/inverting rules.
* use HE8 font encoding for Hebrew in language test.
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.
The "nikud" (vowel) signs, shindot, and shindot are combining Unicode
characters. However, LaTeX-Hebrew expects them as postfix characters, not
accent macros (cf. www.cs.tau.ac.il/~stoledo/Bib/Pubs/vowels.pdf).
