1 LyX file-format changes
2 -----------------------
4 2005-06-21 Jean-Marc Lasgouttes <lasgouttes@lyx.org>
6 * format incremented to 242. There is no file format per
7 se, but the "frenchb" language has been removed from lib/language
8 and has to be translated to "french" by lyx2lyx.
10 2005-02-03 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
12 * format incremented to 241.
14 All following changes apply only to text in ERT insets. The
15 rationale is that text in ERT is simply ASCII text, and nothing more.
17 * paragraph breaks are now a single newline in latex and not a
18 paragraph break anymore (bug 698).
19 * \newline is not allowed anymore, because it is redundant (see above)
20 * layouts other than Standard, paragraph parameters and font changes
21 are not allowed anymore. They never made sense and were ignored for
22 latex output, but now they can't be read or set anymore (bug 922).
25 2005-01-23 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmüller@gmx.de>
27 * format incremented to 240.
29 \output_changes {true|false}
30 (should the change tracking marks be visible in the output or not?)
31 * lyx2lyx should just delete the param in 239.
33 2005-01-06 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
35 * format incremented to 239.
36 * the paragraph parameters are displayed in their own line. This
37 change is consistent with the insets behaviour, and corresponds
38 to a more uniform treatment of the paragraphs since some of them
39 had already their own line.
41 An example of a single paragraph follows:
43 \begin_layout Standard
44 \paragraph_spacing single
50 2004-12-03 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
52 * format incremented to 238.
53 * The compatibility code to read old latex accents from 0.12.x in
54 InsetLatexAccent::checkContents has been removed.
55 The following translations are done:
57 "\i \xy" -> "\i \x{y}"
58 "\i \x y" -> "\i \x{y}"
59 "\i \x\i" -> "\i \x{\i}"
60 "\i \x\j" -> "\i \x{\j}"
61 x is a latex accent command, y the base character. \, i and j are
63 lyx did these changes already from 0.12.x -> 215, but not lyx2lyx,
64 so formats 215 - 237 can have both versions.
67 2004-10-10 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
69 * format incremented to 237.
70 * In the header, the following statments use now booleans values,
76 2004-08-15 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
78 * format incremented to 236.
85 * The options for \papersize are changed:
88 * All whitespaces are removed at the end of lines, when
89 not necessary. As an example we have all the lines in the header that
90 do not belong to the preamble.
92 2004-07-01 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
94 * format incremented to 235.
95 * \paperpackage had an off-by-one error. Translation table:
97 234: a4 a4wide widemarginsa4
98 235: none a4 a4wide widemarginsa4
100 The "widemarginsa4" setting of 235 has no equivalent in 234.
102 2004-05-12 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
104 * format incremented to 234.
105 * the citation engine is specified explicitly rather than being
106 deduced from 3 bools.
109 \use_numerical_citations 0 -> \cite_engine <style>
112 where <style> is one of "basic", "natbib_authoryear",
113 "natbib_numerical" or "jurabib".
115 2004-04-29 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
117 * format incremented to 233.
118 * insetgraphics does not allow filenames without extension anymore.
119 The complete filename has to be given.
121 2004-03-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
123 * format incremented to 232.
125 * Support for bibtopic (sectioned bibliographies).
126 - bufferparam \use_bibtopic [1|0]
127 - the bibtex inset has a second argument for bibtopic's
128 btPrint{Cited|NotCited|All} command:
130 \begin_inset LatexCommand \bibtex[<style>]{<database>}
132 \begin_inset LatexCommand \bibtex[<style>][<btPrintX>]{<database>}
133 Forwards, there's nothing to be done. Backwards, \usepackage[dot]{bibtopic}
134 has to be inserted to the preamble. Instead of the bibtex inset, the LaTeX
135 \bibliographystyle{<style>}
136 \begin{btSect}{<database>}
141 2004-03-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
143 * format incremented to 231.
145 * Support for sidewaysfigure/sidewaystable (rotating package).
146 insetfloat has now a param \sideways [true|false] (default is false).
147 The param should be erased on downwards conversion, if it was true,
148 the inset should be replaced by
149 \begin{sidewaysfigure} <content> \end{sidewaysfigure}
151 \begin{sidewaystable} <content> \end{sidewaystable}
154 2004-02-23 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
156 * format incremented to 230.
158 * Support for a second optional argument in insetcommand.
159 currently, citation uses this to support natbibs second
160 optional argument \cite[before][after]{key}.
161 I think there's nothing to convert upwards. Downwards, the
162 commands with 2 optional args need to be converted to ERT.
164 * Support for jurabib (param \use_jurabib [1|0], default is 0).
165 When converting downwards, \usepackage{jurabib} has to be added
166 to the preamble and, if babel is used, \usepackage{babel} before
167 (jurabib fails if babel is called afterwards). If the natbib commands
168 are used together with jurabib, they have to be converted to ERT too.
170 2003-12-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
172 * format incremented to 229.
173 * Minipages cannot be read anymore. All minipage insets will
174 be converted to frameless box insets between 228->229.
176 2003-12-15 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
178 * format incremented to 228.
179 * Change the output of all insets derived from InsetCollapsable
180 except for InsetERT (which has a similar output already), changing lines
181 "collapsed true" -> "status collapsed"
182 "collapsed false" -> "status open".
183 * Change the output of InsetERT, changing lines
184 "status Collapsed" -> "status collapsed"
185 "status Open" -> "status open".
186 "status Inlined" -> "status inlined".
188 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
190 * format NOT incremented.
191 * add a 'draft' option to InsetExternal.
193 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
195 * format incremented to 227.
196 * Change the output of InsetBox:
197 \begin_inset Boxed -> \begin_inset Box Boxed
198 \begin_inset Doublebox -> \begin_inset Box Doublebox
199 \begin_inset Frameless -> \begin_inset Box Frameless
200 \begin_inset ovalbox -> \begin_inset Box ovalbox
201 \begin_inset Ovalbox -> \begin_inset Box Ovalbox
202 \begin_inset Shadowbox -> \begin_inset Box Shadowbox
204 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
206 * format incremented to 226.
207 * Change the output of InsetNote:
208 \begin_inset Note -> \begin_inset Note Note
209 \begin_inset Comment -> \begin_inset Note Comment
210 \begin_inset Greyedout -> \begin_inset Note Greyedout
212 2003-11-28 André Pönitz
214 * Remove space_above/space_below from Paragraph.
215 This is now handled by InsetVSpace.
217 2003-10-07 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
219 * Add transformations to InsetExternal
221 boundingBox 0 0 20 20 the dimensions of the B.B..
222 Output if the B.B. is not empty.
223 clip clip the image to the B.B.
225 extra LaTeX "draft" 'extra' data passed to the primary
226 command for this output format.
227 (Possible formats LaTeX, PDFLaTeX,
228 LinuxDoc, DocBook, Ascii.)
229 The string can contain spaces and so
231 rotateAngle 30 Rotation of the data.
232 Output for non-zero rotation only.
233 rotateOrigin bottomleft Rotation origin.
234 Output for non-zero rotation and
235 non-default origin (center) only.
237 width 2cm Output only if the image is resized.
241 2003-10-07 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
243 * Added box inset. File format:
245 \begin_inset Ovalbox Boxed/Frameless/ovalbox/Ovalbox
250 inner_pos "b" t/c/b/s
252 width "100col%" unit+width-string
253 special "none" none/height/depth
255 height "1in" unit+width-string
256 height_special "totalheight" none/height/depth
258 collapsed false true/false
260 \begin_layout Standard
267 This box (Frameless, has_inner_box=1, use_parbox=0) replaces
268 the pre-existing Minipage inset. Parameters translate as follows:
269 position 0/1/2 -> t/c/b
270 inner_position 0/1/2/3 -> inner_pos c/t/b/s
275 2003-08-19 Michael Schmitt <michael.schmitt@teststep.org>
277 * attribute valignment="center" is replaced by valignment="middle"
278 for tabular columns and cells
280 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
282 * \the_end is replaced with \end_document
284 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
286 * \layout is replaced with \begin_layout
288 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@fep.up.pt>
292 * All layouts finish now with \end_layout
294 2003-06-04 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
298 * the storage of the external inset has been changed from
300 \begin_inset External XFig,"file.fig",""
306 \begin_inset External
309 display <display_type>
314 throwing away the final arg (here "", more generally "<string>") that holds
315 the parameters variable.
316 Variables are output if present (filename) or different from the default
317 values (display, lyxscale).
319 Moreover, the RasterImage template has been scrapped. All RasterImage
320 external insets are now converted to Graphics insets.
322 2003-05-20 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
324 * Added new space insets:
325 \SpecialChar ~ is now \InsetSpace ~
326 ERT: "\ " could be converted to InsetSpace \<space>
327 ERT: "\," could be converted to InsetSpace \,
329 2003-04-24 André Pönitz <poenitz@gmx.net>
331 * Added eqref support:
332 \begin_inset LatexCommand \eqref{label}
334 2003-03-12 John Levon <levon@movementarian.org>
336 * Added \\end_header to signify the end of the header in a
339 * use_amsmath is now a tristate {0 = never, 1 = auto, 2 = always}
341 2003-02-10 John Levon <levon@movementarian.org>
345 Added \\tracking_changes 0|1 to the header.
347 Added \\author to the header. This can be present multiple
348 times, and is of the form :
350 \\author "Real Name" email@address.com
352 Added \\change_deleted, \\change_inserted. Each of these does not
353 span a paragraph, and is delimited by "\\change_unchanged\n". Both are
356 \\change_inserted author time
358 where author is an integer ID reference into the author list in
359 the header, and time is time_t.
361 2002-10-24 Rob Lahaye <lahaye@snu.ac.kr>
363 * insetgraphicsParams.h (scale): is now a float, not an unsigned int.
365 2002-08-22 Rob Lahaye <lahaye@snu.ac.kr>
367 New graphics dialog. With the removal of buttons in the dialog, also
368 keywords in the graphics inset went. The following keywords do not
378 Only non-default values are saved to the lyx files. The defaults of the remaining
388 BoundingBox <from file>
391 rotateOrigin centerBaseline
393 subcaptionText <empty>
396 The remaining keywords have sufficient overlap with the old ones for a
397 smooth reading of the 1.2.x inset keywords in most common cases.
399 Compatibility is certainly broken for the old lyxwidth/lyxheight keywords.
400 They don't exist anymore and we can't translate them into a scaling value, while
401 we're reading the graphics inset. The old lyxwidth/lyxheight keyword and its
402 argument is ignored and lost.
404 Only few compatibility issues are left for lyx2lyx:
406 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
407 old-token new-token remove
408 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
409 size_kind original / size_type 0 scale 100 width <val>
413 size_kind width_height / size_type 1 - scale <val>
415 lyxsize_kind original / lyxsize_type 0 lyxscale 100 lyxscale <val>
416 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
417 [replace old-token by new-token, and remove any of subsequent tokens as listed]
419 If "rotate" is absent, lyx2lyx should ignore "rotateAngle <val>":
420 if ( "rotateAngle <val>" is there WITHOUT being preceded by the keyword "rotate" )
422 replace "rotateAngle <val>" by "rotateAngle 0"
425 2002-08-12 Andre' Poenitz <poenitz@gmx.de>
427 Added \lyxlock for locked math inset when written to .lyx file.
428 When "downgrading" .lyx files this should simple be deleted but it
429 does not hurt at all if it stays in. It does not have to be added
433 2002-08-02 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
435 Added a boolean "preview" flag to InsetCommandParams.
436 Currently it is written only by InsetInclude, because only this
437 class can generate a preview of its contents.
439 The LyX file now contains:
441 \begin_inset Include \input{snapshot_t=40.tex}
446 Earlier versions of LyX just swallow this extra token silently.
448 2002-08-12 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
450 The 1.2.0 InsetGraphicsParams "size_type" and "lyxsize_type" have been
451 renamed as "size_kind" and "lyxsize_kind" respectively.
453 \begin_inset Graphics FormatVersion 1
460 - lyxsize_kind original
461 + lyxsize_type original
