Fixes: #8831
This introduces
* a new inset member isPartOfTextSequence() that returns
whether the inset produces something visible at the current position
in the text flow
* an isOpenPunctuation() test that returns whether a character is in the
'Punctuation, Open' unicode class. This is used instead of just checking
for two (Western, ASCII) opening brackets
It also fixes the isChar() and isLetter() value of InsetSpecialChar,
since some types have not been assigned correctly.
* b `british' (``inner quotation'')
* w >>swedishg>> ('inner quotation') ["g" = Guillemets]
* f <<french>> (``inner quotation'')
* i <<frenchin>> (<<inner quotation>>) ["in" = Imprimerie Nationale]
* r <<russian>> (,,inner quotation``)
Rename "french" to "swiss"
Also rename "single/double" to "secondary/primary" ("inner/outer" in
the UI) and "left/right" to "opening/closing". Note that the inset
identifier string is left as is ("s/d" and "l/r")
The current char-based implementation gets increasingly unreadable,
especially if styles are added that do not follow the strict
single-double paradigm.
A dot in the <lang><side><times> string means: keep current value.
This expert feature allows to change arbitrary quote features in one step.
E.g.,
inset-forall Quotes inset-modify changetype f..
=> change all quote insets to French style, maintaining current side
and times setting
inset-forall Quotes inset-modify changetype ..s
=> change all quote insets to single quotes, keeping style and times
inset-forall Quotes inset-modify changetype g.s
=> change all quote insets to German single quotes, keeping left/right
setting
Any idea where to document this?
All typographic quotation marks are supported, if the proper
LaTeX macros (as opposed to ligatures) are used.
So no need for forcing straight quotes.
This is in line with what babel-hebrew suggests.
* Adjoining closing Single + double quote becomes double + single quote
(for English, Swedish and German, LaTeX export as ''').
* French double quotes are converted to << >> in the LaTeX file and to
double inverted question/interrogation marks in the output, if the font
encoding is set to [None] or OT1 but the global default is T1. (test
for lyxrc.fontenc instead of the document-specific fontenc setting in
InsetQuotes.cpp).
* Quote type ignored for LyXHTML: always "English" quotes used.
See #10451
Now by default all insets paint their own background when needed. This
means that 63cf3297 and part of 9940acc5 can be reverted.
To avoid extra painting, background drawing is disabled for
InsetCommand and InsetCollapsable. These insets draw background as
part of their normal drawing activity.
This will avoid drawing artifacts with InsetNewpage, InsetVSpace and
probably some others.
For reference, the bug was that quote insets grew bolder because, when
painted over themselves, anti-aliasing made them darker.
It turned out that the fix there created others than were
painstakingly fixed: #7164, #7165, #7174, #7193... More recently, it
created other problems:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.devel/163471
We use the right fix here:
* draw background of quote inset when not doing full repaint
* draw background of math macro template when not doing full repaint
* remove hack that grew from #4889 fix.
The code that specializes for double elements in the display string
does not trigger anymore: displayString() returns a single unicode
value, plus some space for french guillemets.
Use a thin space for these french quotes instead of a plain space and
remove special case in metrics().
Use the function support:truncateWithEllipsis() to shorten a docstring with
... at the end. Actually we use U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS instead of "..." when
automatically shortening strings. This is to be consistent with Qt's own
truncation and is much nicer on the screen.
This includes the bugs #9575 and #9572 regarding broken text elision in the
outliner.
Known issues (non-regressions):
* TocBackend::updateItem() should be rewritten to update all TOCs. (#8386)
* "..." should be replaced with … everywhere else on the interface (including
translation strings).
* We should prefer to rely on QFontMetrics::elidedText() to truncate strings
with an ellipsis whenever possible, or an equivalent for the buffer view
dependent on the font metrics. See the warning in src/support/lstrings.h.
There are still a few warnings of the kind
(style) Variable 'x' is assigned a value that is never used.
since I did not touch code where I was not sure whether there might be a real
bug, and I kept some for symmetry reasons as well.
so we can write a limited amount when using this for TOC and
tooltip output.
This should solve the problem with slowness that Kornel noticed,
which was caused by our trying to write an entire plaintext
bibliography every time we updated the TOC. We did that because
he had a bibliography inside a branch, and we use plaintext for
creating the tooltip that goes with the branch list.
Other related bugs were fixed along the way. E.g., it turns out
that, if someone had an InsetInclude inside a branch, then we would
have been writing a *plaintext file* for that inset every time we
updated the TOC. I wonder if some of the other reports of slowness
we have received might be due to this kind of issue?
