1 LyX file-format changes
2 -----------------------
4 2005-02-03 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
6 * format incremented to 241.
8 All following changes apply only to text in ERT insets. The
9 rationale is that text in ERT is simply ASCII text, and nothing more.
11 * paragraph breaks are now a single newline in latex and not a
12 paragraph break anymore (bug 698).
13 * \newline is not allowed anymore, because it is redundant (see above)
14 * layouts other than Standard, paragraph parameters and font changes
15 are not allowed anymore. They never made sense and were ignored for
16 latex output, but now they can't be read or set anymore (bug 922).
19 2005-01-23 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmüller@gmx.de>
21 * format incremented to 240.
23 \output_changes {true|false}
24 (should the change tracking marks be visible in the output or not?)
25 * lyx2lyx should just delete the param in 239.
27 2005-01-06 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
29 * format incremented to 239.
30 * the paragraph parameters are displayed in their own line. This
31 change is consistent with the insets behaviour, and corresponds
32 to a more uniform treatment of the paragraphs since some of them
33 had already their own line.
35 An example of a single paragraph follows:
37 \begin_layout Standard
38 \paragraph_spacing single
44 2004-12-03 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
46 * format incremented to 238.
47 * The compatibility code to read old latex accents from 0.12.x in
48 InsetLatexAccent::checkContents has been removed.
49 The following translations are done:
51 "\i \xy" -> "\i \x{y}"
52 "\i \x y" -> "\i \x{y}"
53 "\i \x\i" -> "\i \x{\i}"
54 "\i \x\j" -> "\i \x{\j}"
55 x is a latex accent command, y the base character. \, i and j are
57 lyx did these changes already from 0.12.x -> 215, but not lyx2lyx,
58 so formats 215 - 237 can have both versions.
61 2004-10-10 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
63 * format incremented to 237.
64 * In the header, the following statments use now booleans values,
70 2004-08-15 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
72 * format incremented to 236.
79 * The options for \papersize are changed:
82 * All whitespaces are removed at the end of lines, when
83 not necessary. As an example we have all the lines in the header that
84 do not belong to the preamble.
86 2004-07-01 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
88 * format incremented to 235.
89 * \paperpackage had an off-by-one error. Translation table:
91 234: a4 a4wide widemarginsa4
92 235: none a4 a4wide widemarginsa4
94 The "widemarginsa4" setting of 235 has no equivalent in 234.
96 2004-05-12 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
98 * format incremented to 234.
99 * the citation engine is specified explicitly rather than being
100 deduced from 3 bools.
103 \use_numerical_citations 0 -> \cite_engine <style>
106 where <style> is one of "basic", "natbib_authoryear",
107 "natbib_numerical" or "jurabib".
109 2004-04-29 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
111 * format incremented to 233.
112 * insetgraphics does not allow filenames without extension anymore.
113 The complete filename has to be given.
115 2004-03-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
117 * format incremented to 232.
119 * Support for bibtopic (sectioned bibliographies).
120 - bufferparam \use_bibtopic [1|0]
121 - the bibtex inset has a second argument for bibtopic's
122 btPrint{Cited|NotCited|All} command:
124 \begin_inset LatexCommand \bibtex[<style>]{<database>}
126 \begin_inset LatexCommand \bibtex[<style>][<btPrintX>]{<database>}
127 Forwards, there's nothing to be done. Backwards, \usepackage[dot]{bibtopic}
128 has to be inserted to the preamble. Instead of the bibtex inset, the LaTeX
129 \bibliographystyle{<style>}
130 \begin{btSect}{<database>}
135 2004-03-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
137 * format incremented to 231.
139 * Support for sidewaysfigure/sidewaystable (rotating package).
140 insetfloat has now a param \sideways [true|false] (default is false).
141 The param should be erased on downwards conversion, if it was true,
142 the inset should be replaced by
143 \begin{sidewaysfigure} <content> \end{sidewaysfigure}
145 \begin{sidewaystable} <content> \end{sidewaystable}
148 2004-02-23 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
150 * format incremented to 230.
152 * Support for a second optional argument in insetcommand.
153 currently, citation uses this to support natbibs second
154 optional argument \cite[before][after]{key}.
155 I think there's nothing to convert upwards. Downwards, the
156 commands with 2 optional args need to be converted to ERT.
158 * Support for jurabib (param \use_jurabib [1|0], default is 0).
159 When converting downwards, \usepackage{jurabib} has to be added
160 to the preamble and, if babel is used, \usepackage{babel} before
161 (jurabib fails if babel is called afterwards). If the natbib commands
162 are used together with jurabib, they have to be converted to ERT too.
164 2003-12-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
166 * format incremented to 229.
167 * Minipages cannot be read anymore. All minipage insets will
168 be converted to frameless box insets between 228->229.
170 2003-12-15 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
172 * format incremented to 228.
173 * Change the output of all insets derived from InsetCollapsable
174 except for InsetERT (which has a similar output already), changing lines
175 "collapsed true" -> "status collapsed"
176 "collapsed false" -> "status open".
177 * Change the output of InsetERT, changing lines
178 "status Collapsed" -> "status collapsed"
179 "status Open" -> "status open".
180 "status Inlined" -> "status inlined".
182 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
184 * format NOT incremented.
185 * add a 'draft' option to InsetExternal.
187 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
189 * format incremented to 227.
190 * Change the output of InsetBox:
191 \begin_inset Boxed -> \begin_inset Box Boxed
192 \begin_inset Doublebox -> \begin_inset Box Doublebox
193 \begin_inset Frameless -> \begin_inset Box Frameless
194 \begin_inset ovalbox -> \begin_inset Box ovalbox
195 \begin_inset Ovalbox -> \begin_inset Box Ovalbox
196 \begin_inset Shadowbox -> \begin_inset Box Shadowbox
198 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
200 * format incremented to 226.
201 * Change the output of InsetNote:
202 \begin_inset Note -> \begin_inset Note Note
203 \begin_inset Comment -> \begin_inset Note Comment
204 \begin_inset Greyedout -> \begin_inset Note Greyedout
206 2003-11-28 André Pönitz
208 * Remove space_above/space_below from Paragraph.
209 This is now handled by InsetVSpace.
211 2003-10-07 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
213 * Add transformations to InsetExternal
215 boundingBox 0 0 20 20 the dimensions of the B.B..
216 Output if the B.B. is not empty.
217 clip clip the image to the B.B.
219 extra LaTeX "draft" 'extra' data passed to the primary
220 command for this output format.
221 (Possible formats LaTeX, PDFLaTeX,
222 LinuxDoc, DocBook, Ascii.)
223 The string can contain spaces and so
225 rotateAngle 30 Rotation of the data.
226 Output for non-zero rotation only.
227 rotateOrigin bottomleft Rotation origin.
228 Output for non-zero rotation and
229 non-default origin (center) only.
231 width 2cm Output only if the image is resized.
235 2003-10-07 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
237 * Added box inset. File format:
239 \begin_inset Ovalbox Boxed/Frameless/ovalbox/Ovalbox
244 inner_pos "b" t/c/b/s
246 width "100col%" unit+width-string
247 special "none" none/height/depth
249 height "1in" unit+width-string
250 height_special "totalheight" none/height/depth
252 collapsed false true/false
254 \begin_layout Standard
261 This box (Frameless, has_inner_box=1, use_parbox=0) replaces
262 the pre-existing Minipage inset. Parameters translate as follows:
263 position 0/1/2 -> t/c/b
264 inner_position 0/1/2/3 -> inner_pos c/t/b/s
269 2003-08-19 Michael Schmitt <michael.schmitt@teststep.org>
271 * attribute valignment="center" is replaced by valignment="middle"
272 for tabular columns and cells
274 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
276 * \the_end is replaced with \end_document
278 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
280 * \layout is replaced with \begin_layout
282 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@fep.up.pt>
286 * All layouts finish now with \end_layout
288 2003-06-04 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
292 * the storage of the external inset has been changed from
294 \begin_inset External XFig,"file.fig",""
300 \begin_inset External
303 display <display_type>
308 throwing away the final arg (here "", more generally "<string>") that holds
309 the parameters variable.
310 Variables are output if present (filename) or different from the default
311 values (display, lyxscale).
313 Moreover, the RasterImage template has been scrapped. All RasterImage
314 external insets are now converted to Graphics insets.
316 2003-05-20 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
318 * Added new space insets:
319 \SpecialChar ~ is now \InsetSpace ~
320 ERT: "\ " could be converted to InsetSpace \<space>
321 ERT: "\," could be converted to InsetSpace \,
323 2003-04-24 André Pönitz <poenitz@gmx.net>
325 * Added eqref support:
326 \begin_inset LatexCommand \eqref{label}
328 2003-03-12 John Levon <levon@movementarian.org>
330 * Added \\end_header to signify the end of the header in a
333 * use_amsmath is now a tristate {0 = never, 1 = auto, 2 = always}
335 2003-02-10 John Levon <levon@movementarian.org>
339 Added \\tracking_changes 0|1 to the header.
341 Added \\author to the header. This can be present multiple
342 times, and is of the form :
344 \\author "Real Name" email@address.com
346 Added \\change_deleted, \\change_inserted. Each of these does not
347 span a paragraph, and is delimited by "\\change_unchanged\n". Both are
350 \\change_inserted author time
352 where author is an integer ID reference into the author list in
353 the header, and time is time_t.
355 2002-10-24 Rob Lahaye <lahaye@snu.ac.kr>
357 * insetgraphicsParams.h (scale): is now a float, not an unsigned int.
359 2002-08-22 Rob Lahaye <lahaye@snu.ac.kr>
361 New graphics dialog. With the removal of buttons in the dialog, also
362 keywords in the graphics inset went. The following keywords do not
372 Only non-default values are saved to the lyx files. The defaults of the remaining
382 BoundingBox <from file>
385 rotateOrigin centerBaseline
387 subcaptionText <empty>
390 The remaining keywords have sufficient overlap with the old ones for a
391 smooth reading of the 1.2.x inset keywords in most common cases.
393 Compatibility is certainly broken for the old lyxwidth/lyxheight keywords.
394 They don't exist anymore and we can't translate them into a scaling value, while
395 we're reading the graphics inset. The old lyxwidth/lyxheight keyword and its
396 argument is ignored and lost.
398 Only few compatibility issues are left for lyx2lyx:
400 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
401 old-token new-token remove
402 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
403 size_kind original / size_type 0 scale 100 width <val>
407 size_kind width_height / size_type 1 - scale <val>
409 lyxsize_kind original / lyxsize_type 0 lyxscale 100 lyxscale <val>
410 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
411 [replace old-token by new-token, and remove any of subsequent tokens as listed]
413 If "rotate" is absent, lyx2lyx should ignore "rotateAngle <val>":
414 if ( "rotateAngle <val>" is there WITHOUT being preceded by the keyword "rotate" )
416 replace "rotateAngle <val>" by "rotateAngle 0"
419 2002-08-12 Andre' Poenitz <poenitz@gmx.de>
421 Added \lyxlock for locked math inset when written to .lyx file.
422 When "downgrading" .lyx files this should simple be deleted but it
423 does not hurt at all if it stays in. It does not have to be added
427 2002-08-02 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
429 Added a boolean "preview" flag to InsetCommandParams.
430 Currently it is written only by InsetInclude, because only this
431 class can generate a preview of its contents.
433 The LyX file now contains:
435 \begin_inset Include \input{snapshot_t=40.tex}
440 Earlier versions of LyX just swallow this extra token silently.
442 2002-08-12 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
444 The 1.2.0 InsetGraphicsParams "size_type" and "lyxsize_type" have been
445 renamed as "size_kind" and "lyxsize_kind" respectively.
447 \begin_inset Graphics FormatVersion 1
454 - lyxsize_kind original
455 + lyxsize_type original
