!Important Changes in LyX 2.3.0
|
|
|
|
|
|
!!Interface changes
|
|
|
|
* LyX now has "inverted" branch insets, which output their contents just in
|
|
case a given branch is not "activated". This makes inclusion of alternate
|
|
material in different versions easier.
|
|
|
|
* When inserting a command or symbol in mathed, it is now automatically
|
|
wrapped in a real inset (either \text or \ensuremath) assuring the correct
|
|
mode, instead of being wrapped only in the output. The wrapping inset can
|
|
be safely dissolved, as it will be automatically inserted at export time
|
|
if needed, as usual.
|
|
|
|
* LyX now outputs en- and em-dashes as -- and --- ligatures when exporting to
|
|
latex using TeX fonts, as done in version 2.1 and earlier. In version 2.2
|
|
they were instead output as the macros \textendash and \textemdash, causing
|
|
changed output with old documents and bugs. The 2.2 behavior can be restored
|
|
by don't allowing using dash ligatures in Document->Settings->Fonts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
!!!The following pref variables were added in 2.3:
|
|
|
|
|
|
!!!The following pref variables were changed in 2.3:
|
|
|
|
* \document_path
|
|
Default is changed to ".". The best guess for where the user wants to save
|
|
or find files is the directory the user started LyX from. Before, the
|
|
default was always the home directory. If desired, the old behavior can be
|
|
restored by changing the default path in Preferences > "Working directory".
|
|
|
|
|
|
!!!The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.3:
|
|
|
|
|
|
!!!The following new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.3:
|
|
|
|
* branch-invert
|
|
Toggles inversion status of branch inset.
|
|
|
|
* lyx-activate
|
|
Activates the LyX window. Useful in combination with reverse search.
|
|
|
|
|
|
!!!The following LyX functions have been changed in 2.3:
|
|
|
|
* quote-insert
|
|
The function now has a second and third optional argument to specify
|
|
the side (left, right, auto) and quotation mark style (english, swedish,
|
|
german, polish, french, danish).
|
|
|
|
* inset-modify
|
|
This function now also applies to quote insets. It takes a three-character
|
|
string as an argument, refering (1.) to the style (e = ``english'',
|
|
s = ''swedish'', g = ,,german``, p = ,,polish'', f = <<french>>, a = >>danish<<),
|
|
(2.) to the side (l = left, r = right) and (3.) to the quotation level
|
|
(s = single, d = double). So "eld" means "English left double quotation mark".
|
|
A dot in the string means: take the current value. So "inset-modify changetype e.."
|
|
will only change the style to English, while letting side and level as is,
|
|
"inset-modify changetype f.s" will change the style to French and the level to
|
|
single, leaving the side value.
|
|
|
|
This function is most useful when combined with inset-forall. E.g.,
|
|
"inset-forall Quotes inset-modify changetype f.."
|
|
=> change all quote insets to French style, maintaining current side and level
|
|
"inset-forall Quotes inset-modify changetype ..s"
|
|
=> change all quote insets to single quotes, keeping style and level
|
|
"inset-forall Quotes inset-modify changetype g.s"
|
|
=> change all quote insets to German single quotes, keeping left/right setting
|
|
|
|
* word-delete-forward, word-delete-backward, char-delete-forward,
|
|
char-delete-backward
|
|
The pre-2.3 behavior of these functions is equivalent to the 2.3 behavior with
|
|
the "force" option appended. The new default behavior (without "force") is
|
|
to select big insets on the first call and delete them only on the second.
|
|
This new behavior is consistent with how delete works in LyX's math editor.
|
|
|
|
!!!The following LyX documents have been moved in 2.3:
|
|
|
|
|
|
!!!The following new folders have been added to the LyX directory
|
|
|
|
* citeengines: Contains the *.citeengine files that determine the citation
|
|
formatting and features.
|
|
|
|
* xtemplates: Contains the *.xtemplate files that define the external templates
|
|
(previously in the external_templates file).
|
|
|
|
|
|
!!!The following preferences files have been removed from the tarball in 2.3:
|
|
|
|
* external_templates. This files has been split into multiple *.xtemplate
|
|
files that are now shipped as content of the xtemplates directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
!!!The following metadata files have been added to the tarball in 2.3:
|
|
|
|
|
|
!!Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.3:
|
|
|
|
* Inkscape SVG with separate LaTeX + PDF output is experimentally supported.
|
|
|
|
* Add some editor/viewer applications to (re)configure checks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
!!Known issues in version 2.3.0
|
|
|
|
|
|
!!Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.3.x
|
|
|
|
* The external_templates file has been split into one file per template,
|
|
which are now located in lib/xtemplates/*.xtemplate. This makes it easier
|
|
to add new templates or modify existing ones. If you have modified
|
|
the external_templates file, you will have to move the modifications to
|
|
the respective *.xtemplate file manually.
|
|
|
|
* If using TeX fonts and en- and em-dashes are output as font ligatures,
|
|
when exporting documents containing en- and em-dashes to the format of
|
|
LyX 2.0 or earlier, the following line has to be manually added to the
|
|
unicodesymbols file of that LyX version:<br>
|
|
0x200b "\\hspace{0pt}" "" "" "" "" # ZERO WIDTH SPACE<br>
|
|
This avoids "uncodable character" issues if the document is actually
|
|
loaded by that LyX version. LyX 2.1 and later versions already have the
|
|
necessary definition in their unicodesymbols file.
