Based on Daniel Groger's work of five years ago, with minor changes
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel%40lists.lyx.org/msg169820.html
This extends the support for Xfig LaTeX + PDF to a more modern and
actively developed vector graphics editor. Embedded Objects manual
updated, also to include a workaround for an Inkscape 0.91 bug.
The external date inset was implemented as a demonstrator for external insets
in general. It was never intended for production code. Now that we have several
external insets defined we do not need the demonstrator anymore. This fixes
bugs #4398 and #9948.
The term LongTable has been deprecated and moreover the renaming makes the interface easier to the eye.
File format updated to 507. (conversion based on jamatos patch)
Layout format updated to 60.
tex2ylx tests updated.
Document EmbeddedObjects.lyx has been updated.
Preliminary work for addressing #7790. Thanks to Richard for providing initial
files this is based on.
Adding to TextClass:
OutlinerName <string> <string>
(the second string is translated)
e.g.:
OutlinerName thm "Definitions & Theorems"
Adding to Layout:
AddToToc <string> (default "", means no)
IsTocCaption <bool> (default 0)
e.g.:
AddToToc thm
IsTocCaption 1
Adding to InsetLayout:
AddToToc <string> (default "", means no)
IsTocCaption <bool> (default 0)
e.g.:
AddToToc literate
Adding to inset arguments:
IsTocCaption <bool> (default 0)
exist. This will allow for a proper fix for bug #8796, though that may or may
not get fixed before 2.2.0.
Also, change the InStyle tag to ModifyStyle, per a suggestion of Jurgen's.
`os.popen` is deprecated since Python-2.6. Also, this fixes the handling
of files with quotes in their names. The patch requires Python >= 2.7.
Furthermore, the patch executes the lyx2lyx script with the same
interpreter used for it, to maintain compatibility.
I also removed some lines related to Python-2.4, as it is no longer
supported anyway.
* Take into account the filesystem encoding for the zip export on *nix
such that the representation of filenames in the zip archive is not
mangled, when possible. This only concerns the way filenames are displayed
as their creation in the filesystem was nevertheless correct.
* On Windows, try to obtain the command line parameters from the wide char
representation by directly accessing the platform APIs through ctypes.
This allows to also deal with filenames not exactly representable using
the current code page and corrects a bug resulting in silently dropping
those kind of filenames.
Instead of redefining \usepackage for avoiding the microtype package
when generating previews in dvi mode, the draft option can be used
for disabling it. This also allows to somewhat simplify the
fix_latex_file function.
The strategy adopted in bc47054b had some drawbacks related to the way
instant preview snippets are generated. See the subthread starting at
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg187916.html
for details.
The strategy adopted in this commit is that of adding macro definitions
only for the macros actually used in a preview snippet, independently
of whether some macro was already used in a previous snippet. In this way
the snippets don't need to be changed according to whether they are
compiled as a whole or separately from each other. This fact was causing
the regeneration of a preview snippet whenever the cursor entered the
corresponding inset, even if the generated image would have not changed.
The problem of defining or redefining a macro is taken care by the
python scripts.
* Provide for vector fonts only if needed.
* Make sure microtype doesn't throw a trantum in dvi mode.
* Use correct macro definition in preview insets.
Avoid that \newcommand[x] definitions of math macros are pushed multiple
times to the preview loader.
Redefinitions (via \renewcommand[x]) are properly handled.
If use of hyperref is detected, the postscript route is not attempted
(because we know it will fail) and the PDF route is directly chosen.
Also account for all upper case extensions for pdflatex image files.
Was forgetting this last bit from 64e0c558. Also give a message such
that the user is informed that not everything is lost if latex fails.
With this, the previews are generated also when the document directly
specifies a specific pdf output format.
This is a followup commit to 691fdea3 and restores the behavior of the
script as it was intended before 64e0c558, other than taking into account
possible inclusion of files that only pdflatex can process and the
possibility of multiple defined math macros.
The instant previews in the math manual now work again.
If pdftocairo is detected, it is used for generating bitmaps in the
legacy method route in preference to ghostscript. This is justified
by the fact that the conversion is 4 to 5 times faster and the
quality of the generated images is superior.
When the dvipng route is selected and latex fails, the lyxpreview2bitmap.py
script simply bails out. The failure may be due to using a specific pdf
only feature in ERT (for example, the inclusion of a pdf image).
In this case the procedure may succeed simply trying to use pdflatex
and the legacy conversion method.
