1 LyX file-format changes
2 -----------------------§
3 2006-10-12 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
5 * Format incremented to 250: allow optional arg to environments
7 No material format change. Now optargs for environments are allowed
8 to be specified in layout files and will be handled properly. When
9 converted back to older formats, they will be ignored in LaTeX
12 2006-08-14 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
14 * format incremented to 249: Unicode
16 LyX documents are now always encoded in utf8. The value of
17 \inputencoding does now only determine the encoding of the created
19 Up to format 248 the value of \inputencoding did also determine the
20 encoding of the LyX file:
22 \inputencoding LyX file encoding
23 auto as determined by the document language
25 everything else as determined by \inputencoding
27 2006-07-03 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
29 * format incremented to 248: Basic booktabs support
31 The <features> tag has a new switch: booktabs="true|false".
32 An absent switch is equivalent to booktabs="false".
33 Horizontal lines are set with the booktabs package if this switch
36 The <row> tag of tabulars has the following new attributes:
37 topspace, bottomspace and interlinespace. All take a LyXLength
38 as value, or the special keyword "default".
40 2006-06-10 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
42 * format incremented to 247. The Grand Font Interface Rewrite.
43 (1) Split font selection to rm, sf, tt:
44 \fontscheme -> \font_roman, \font_sans, \font_typewriter
46 \fontscheme \font_roman \font_sans \font_typewriter
47 default default default default
49 times times default default
50 palatino palatino default default
51 helvet default helvet default
52 avant default avant default
53 newcent newcent default default
54 bookman bookman default default
55 pslatex times (or \usepackage{pslatex})
57 \font_roman: cmr (-> \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{cmr}),
58 lmodern, charter, utopia, ccfonts, chancery, beraserif
59 (-> \usepackage{<name>})
60 \font_sans: cmss, lmss, cmbr
61 (-> \renewcommand{\sfdefault}{<name>})
62 berasans (-> \usepackage{<name>})
63 \font_typewriter: cmtt, lmtt, cmtl,
64 (-> \renewcommand{\sfdefault}{<name>})
65 courier, luximono, beramono
66 (-> \usepackage{<name>})
67 (2) New param \font_default_family (rmdefault, sfdefault, ttdefault)
68 (3) New param \font_sc (true, false).
69 (4) New param \font_osf (true, false).
70 (5) New param \font_sf_scale (float)
71 (6) New param \font_tt_scale (float)
72 Support for the following fonts has been added:
73 bera, ccfonts, chancery, charter, cmbright, computer modern (explicitely),
74 courier, lmodern, luximono, utopia.
75 Support for the following font has been removed:
76 pslatex (it's superseded by mathptmx (times)).
78 2006-06-03 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
80 * format incremented to 246. The framed.sty package is
81 now supported with note types framed and shaded.
83 2005-10-12 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
85 * format incremented to 245. The \quotes_times parameter
88 2005-09-24 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
90 * format incremented to 244. Rename '\InsetSpace \,'
91 to '\InsetSpace \thinspace{}', because the comma was
92 not parsed by lyxlex, and '\InsetSpace \space' to
93 '\InsetSpace \space{}' in favour of consistency.
95 2005-07-18 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
97 * format incremented to 243.
99 * this change only affects the preamble, the paperpackage
100 option was removed and papersize is changed to default.
102 2005-06-21 Jean-Marc Lasgouttes <lasgouttes@lyx.org>
104 * format incremented to 242. There is no file format per
105 se, but the "frenchb" language has been removed from lib/language
106 and has to be translated to "french" by lyx2lyx.
108 2005-02-03 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
110 * format incremented to 241.
112 All following changes apply only to text in ERT insets. The
113 rationale is that text in ERT is simply ASCII text, and nothing more.
115 * paragraph breaks are now a single newline in latex and not a
116 paragraph break anymore (bug 698).
117 * \newline is not allowed anymore, because it is redundant (see above)
118 * layouts other than Standard, paragraph parameters and font changes
119 are not allowed anymore. They never made sense and were ignored for
120 latex output, but now they can't be read or set anymore (bug 922).
123 2005-01-23 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmüller@gmx.de>
125 * format incremented to 240.
127 \output_changes {true|false}
128 (should the change tracking marks be visible in the output or not?)
129 * lyx2lyx should just delete the param in 239.
131 2005-01-06 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
133 * format incremented to 239.
134 * the paragraph parameters are displayed in their own line. This
135 change is consistent with the insets behaviour, and corresponds
136 to a more uniform treatment of the paragraphs since some of them
137 had already their own line.
139 An example of a single paragraph follows:
141 \begin_layout Standard
142 \paragraph_spacing single
148 2004-12-03 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
150 * format incremented to 238.
151 * The compatibility code to read old latex accents from 0.12.x in
152 InsetLatexAccent::checkContents has been removed.
153 The following translations are done:
155 "\i \xy" -> "\i \x{y}"
156 "\i \x y" -> "\i \x{y}"
157 "\i \x\i" -> "\i \x{\i}"
158 "\i \x\j" -> "\i \x{\j}"
159 x is a latex accent command, y the base character. \, i and j are
161 lyx did these changes already from 0.12.x -> 215, but not lyx2lyx,
162 so formats 215 - 237 can have both versions.
165 2004-10-10 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
167 * format incremented to 237.
168 * In the header, the following statments use now booleans values,
174 2004-08-15 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
176 * format incremented to 236.
183 * The options for \papersize are changed:
186 * All whitespaces are removed at the end of lines, when
187 not necessary. As an example we have all the lines in the header that
188 do not belong to the preamble.
190 2004-07-01 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
192 * format incremented to 235.
193 * \paperpackage had an off-by-one error. Translation table:
195 234: a4 a4wide widemarginsa4
196 235: none a4 a4wide widemarginsa4
198 The "widemarginsa4" setting of 235 has no equivalent in 234.
200 2004-05-12 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
202 * format incremented to 234.
203 * the citation engine is specified explicitly rather than being
204 deduced from 3 bools.
207 \use_numerical_citations 0 -> \cite_engine <style>
210 where <style> is one of "basic", "natbib_authoryear",
211 "natbib_numerical" or "jurabib".
213 2004-04-29 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
215 * format incremented to 233.
216 * insetgraphics does not allow filenames without extension anymore.
217 The complete filename has to be given.
219 2004-03-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
221 * format incremented to 232.
223 * Support for bibtopic (sectioned bibliographies).
224 - bufferparam \use_bibtopic [1|0]
225 - the bibtex inset has a second argument for bibtopic's
226 btPrint{Cited|NotCited|All} command:
228 \begin_inset LatexCommand \bibtex[<style>]{<database>}
230 \begin_inset LatexCommand \bibtex[<style>][<btPrintX>]{<database>}
231 Forwards, there's nothing to be done. Backwards, \usepackage[dot]{bibtopic}
232 has to be inserted to the preamble. Instead of the bibtex inset, the LaTeX
233 \bibliographystyle{<style>}
234 \begin{btSect}{<database>}
239 2004-03-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
241 * format incremented to 231.
243 * Support for sidewaysfigure/sidewaystable (rotating package).
244 insetfloat has now a param \sideways [true|false] (default is false).
245 The param should be erased on downwards conversion, if it was true,
246 the inset should be replaced by
247 \begin{sidewaysfigure} <content> \end{sidewaysfigure}
249 \begin{sidewaystable} <content> \end{sidewaystable}
252 2004-02-23 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
254 * format incremented to 230.
256 * Support for a second optional argument in insetcommand.
257 currently, citation uses this to support natbibs second
258 optional argument \cite[before][after]{key}.
259 I think there's nothing to convert upwards. Downwards, the
260 commands with 2 optional args need to be converted to ERT.
262 * Support for jurabib (param \use_jurabib [1|0], default is 0).
263 When converting downwards, \usepackage{jurabib} has to be added
264 to the preamble and, if babel is used, \usepackage{babel} before
265 (jurabib fails if babel is called afterwards). If the natbib commands
266 are used together with jurabib, they have to be converted to ERT too.
268 2003-12-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
270 * format incremented to 229.
271 * Minipages cannot be read anymore. All minipage insets will
272 be converted to frameless box insets between 228->229.
274 2003-12-15 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
276 * format incremented to 228.
277 * Change the output of all insets derived from InsetCollapsable
278 except for InsetERT (which has a similar output already), changing lines
279 "collapsed true" -> "status collapsed"
280 "collapsed false" -> "status open".
281 * Change the output of InsetERT, changing lines
282 "status Collapsed" -> "status collapsed"
283 "status Open" -> "status open".
284 "status Inlined" -> "status inlined".
286 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
288 * format NOT incremented.
289 * add a 'draft' option to InsetExternal.
291 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
293 * format incremented to 227.
294 * Change the output of InsetBox:
295 \begin_inset Boxed -> \begin_inset Box Boxed
296 \begin_inset Doublebox -> \begin_inset Box Doublebox
297 \begin_inset Frameless -> \begin_inset Box Frameless
298 \begin_inset ovalbox -> \begin_inset Box ovalbox
299 \begin_inset Ovalbox -> \begin_inset Box Ovalbox
300 \begin_inset Shadowbox -> \begin_inset Box Shadowbox
302 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
304 * format incremented to 226.
305 * Change the output of InsetNote:
306 \begin_inset Note -> \begin_inset Note Note
307 \begin_inset Comment -> \begin_inset Note Comment
308 \begin_inset Greyedout -> \begin_inset Note Greyedout
310 2003-11-28 André Pönitz
312 * Remove space_above/space_below from Paragraph.
313 This is now handled by InsetVSpace.
315 2003-10-07 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
317 * Add transformations to InsetExternal
319 boundingBox 0 0 20 20 the dimensions of the B.B..
320 Output if the B.B. is not empty.
321 clip clip the image to the B.B.
323 extra LaTeX "draft" 'extra' data passed to the primary
324 command for this output format.
325 (Possible formats LaTeX, PDFLaTeX,
326 LinuxDoc, DocBook, Ascii.)
327 The string can contain spaces and so
329 rotateAngle 30 Rotation of the data.
330 Output for non-zero rotation only.
331 rotateOrigin bottomleft Rotation origin.
332 Output for non-zero rotation and
333 non-default origin (center) only.
335 width 2cm Output only if the image is resized.
339 2003-10-07 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
341 * Added box inset. File format:
343 \begin_inset Ovalbox Boxed/Frameless/ovalbox/Ovalbox
348 inner_pos "b" t/c/b/s
350 width "100col%" unit+width-string
351 special "none" none/height/depth
353 height "1in" unit+width-string
354 height_special "totalheight" none/height/depth
356 collapsed false true/false
358 \begin_layout Standard
365 This box (Frameless, has_inner_box=1, use_parbox=0) replaces
366 the pre-existing Minipage inset. Parameters translate as follows:
367 position 0/1/2 -> t/c/b
368 inner_position 0/1/2/3 -> inner_pos c/t/b/s
373 2003-08-19 Michael Schmitt <michael.schmitt@teststep.org>
375 * attribute valignment="center" is replaced by valignment="middle"
376 for tabular columns and cells
378 2003-08-17 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
380 * Added branch inset. File format:
382 branch definition in the header:
388 \begin_inset Branch <branchname>
389 collapsed false true/false
391 \begin_layout Standard
398 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
400 * \the_end is replaced with \end_document
402 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
404 * \layout is replaced with \begin_layout
406 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@fep.up.pt>
410 * All layouts finish now with \end_layout
412 2003-06-04 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
416 * the storage of the external inset has been changed from
418 \begin_inset External XFig,"file.fig",""
424 \begin_inset External
427 display <display_type>
432 throwing away the final arg (here "", more generally "<string>") that holds
433 the parameters variable.
434 Variables are output if present (filename) or different from the default
435 values (display, lyxscale).
437 Moreover, the RasterImage template has been scrapped. All RasterImage
438 external insets are now converted to Graphics insets.
440 2003-05-20 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
442 * Added new space insets:
443 \SpecialChar ~ is now \InsetSpace ~
444 ERT: "\ " could be converted to InsetSpace \<space>
445 ERT: "\," could be converted to InsetSpace \,
447 2003-04-24 André Pönitz <poenitz@gmx.net>
449 * Added eqref support:
450 \begin_inset LatexCommand \eqref{label}
452 2003-03-14 Dekel Tsur
454 * Format bumped to 223.
456 2003-03-12 John Levon <levon@movementarian.org>
458 * Added \\end_header to signify the end of the header in a
461 * use_amsmath is now a tristate {0 = never, 1 = auto, 2 = always}
463 2003-02-10 John Levon <levon@movementarian.org>
467 Added \\tracking_changes 0|1 to the header.
469 Added \\author to the header. This can be present multiple
470 times, and is of the form :
472 \\author "Real Name" email@address.com
474 Added \\change_deleted, \\change_inserted. Each of these does not
475 span a paragraph, and is delimited by "\\change_unchanged\n". Both are
478 \\change_inserted author time
480 where author is an integer ID reference into the author list in
481 the header, and time is time_t.
483 2002-10-24 Rob Lahaye <lahaye@snu.ac.kr>
485 * insetgraphicsParams.h (scale): is now a float, not an unsigned int.
487 2002-08-22 Rob Lahaye <lahaye@snu.ac.kr>
489 New graphics dialog. With the removal of buttons in the dialog, also
490 keywords in the graphics inset went. The following keywords do not
500 Only non-default values are saved to the lyx files. The defaults of the remaining
510 BoundingBox <from file>
513 rotateOrigin centerBaseline
515 subcaptionText <empty>
518 The remaining keywords have sufficient overlap with the old ones for a
519 smooth reading of the 1.2.x inset keywords in most common cases.
521 Compatibility is certainly broken for the old lyxwidth/lyxheight keywords.
522 They don't exist anymore and we can't translate them into a scaling value, while
523 we're reading the graphics inset. The old lyxwidth/lyxheight keyword and its
524 argument is ignored and lost.
526 Only few compatibility issues are left for lyx2lyx:
528 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
529 old-token new-token remove
530 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
531 size_kind original / size_type 0 scale 100 width <val>
535 size_kind width_height / size_type 1 - scale <val>
537 lyxsize_kind original / lyxsize_type 0 lyxscale 100 lyxscale <val>
538 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
539 [replace old-token by new-token, and remove any of subsequent tokens as listed]
541 If "rotate" is absent, lyx2lyx should ignore "rotateAngle <val>":
542 if ( "rotateAngle <val>" is there WITHOUT being preceded by the keyword "rotate" )
544 replace "rotateAngle <val>" by "rotateAngle 0"
547 2002-08-12 Andre' Poenitz <poenitz@gmx.de>
549 Added \lyxlock for locked math inset when written to .lyx file.
550 When "downgrading" .lyx files this should simple be deleted but it
551 does not hurt at all if it stays in. It does not have to be added
555 2002-08-02 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
557 Added a boolean "preview" flag to InsetCommandParams.
558 Currently it is written only by InsetInclude, because only this
559 class can generate a preview of its contents.
561 The LyX file now contains:
563 \begin_inset Include \input{snapshot_t=40.tex}
568 Earlier versions of LyX just swallow this extra token silently.
570 2002-08-12 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
572 The 1.2.0 InsetGraphicsParams "size_type" and "lyxsize_type" have been
573 renamed as "size_kind" and "lyxsize_kind" respectively.
575 \begin_inset Graphics FormatVersion 1
582 - lyxsize_kind original
583 + lyxsize_type original
