1 LyX file-format changes
2 -----------------------
4 2006-08-14 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
6 * format incremented to 249: Unicode
8 LyX documents are now always encoded in utf8. The value of
9 \inputencoding does now only determine the encoding of the created
11 Up to format 248 the value of \inputencoding did also determine the
12 encoding of the LyX file:
14 \inputencoding LyX file encoding
15 auto as determined by the document language
17 everything else as determined by \inputencoding
19 2006-07-03 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
21 * format incremented to 248: Basic booktabs support
23 The <features> tag has a new switch: booktabs="true|false".
24 An absent switch is equivalent to booktabs="false".
25 Horizontal lines are set with the booktabs package if this switch
28 The <row> tag of tabulars has the following new attributes:
29 topspace, bottomspace and interlinespace. All take a LyXLength
30 as value, or the special keyword "default".
32 2006-06-10 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
34 * format incremented to 247. The Grand Font Interface Rewrite.
35 (1) Split font selection to rm, sf, tt:
36 \fontscheme -> \font_roman, \font_sans, \font_typewriter
38 \fontscheme \font_roman \font_sans \font_typewriter
39 default default default default
41 times times default default
42 palatino palatino default default
43 helvet default helvet default
44 avant default avant default
45 newcent newcent default default
46 bookman bookman default default
47 pslatex times (or \usepackage{pslatex})
49 \font_roman: cmr (-> \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{cmr}),
50 lmodern, charter, utopia, ccfonts, chancery, beraserif
51 (-> \usepackage{<name>})
52 \font_sans: cmss, lmss, cmbr
53 (-> \renewcommand{\sfdefault}{<name>})
54 berasans (-> \usepackage{<name>})
55 \font_typewriter: cmtt, lmtt, cmtl,
56 (-> \renewcommand{\sfdefault}{<name>})
57 courier, luximono, beramono
58 (-> \usepackage{<name>})
59 (2) New param \font_default_family (rmdefault, sfdefault, ttdefault)
60 (3) New param \font_sc (true, false).
61 (4) New param \font_osf (true, false).
62 (5) New param \font_sf_scale (float)
63 (6) New param \font_tt_scale (float)
64 Support for the following fonts has been added:
65 bera, ccfonts, chancery, charter, cmbright, computer modern (explicitely),
66 courier, lmodern, luximono, utopia.
67 Support for the following font has been removed:
68 pslatex (it's superseded by mathptmx (times)).
70 2006-06-03 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
72 * format incremented to 246. The framed.sty package is
73 now supported with note types framed and shaded.
75 2005-10-12 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
77 * format incremented to 245. The \quotes_times parameter
80 2005-09-24 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
82 * format incremented to 244. Rename '\InsetSpace \,'
83 to '\InsetSpace \thinspace{}', because the comma was
84 not parsed by lyxlex, and '\InsetSpace \space' to
85 '\InsetSpace \space{}' in favour of consistency.
87 2005-07-18 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
89 * format incremented to 243.
91 * this change only affects the preamble, the paperpackage
92 option was removed and papersize is changed to default.
94 2005-06-21 Jean-Marc Lasgouttes <lasgouttes@lyx.org>
96 * format incremented to 242. There is no file format per
97 se, but the "frenchb" language has been removed from lib/language
98 and has to be translated to "french" by lyx2lyx.
100 2005-02-03 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
102 * format incremented to 241.
104 All following changes apply only to text in ERT insets. The
105 rationale is that text in ERT is simply ASCII text, and nothing more.
107 * paragraph breaks are now a single newline in latex and not a
108 paragraph break anymore (bug 698).
109 * \newline is not allowed anymore, because it is redundant (see above)
110 * layouts other than Standard, paragraph parameters and font changes
111 are not allowed anymore. They never made sense and were ignored for
112 latex output, but now they can't be read or set anymore (bug 922).
115 2005-01-23 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmüller@gmx.de>
117 * format incremented to 240.
119 \output_changes {true|false}
120 (should the change tracking marks be visible in the output or not?)
121 * lyx2lyx should just delete the param in 239.
123 2005-01-06 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
125 * format incremented to 239.
126 * the paragraph parameters are displayed in their own line. This
127 change is consistent with the insets behaviour, and corresponds
128 to a more uniform treatment of the paragraphs since some of them
129 had already their own line.
131 An example of a single paragraph follows:
133 \begin_layout Standard
134 \paragraph_spacing single
140 2004-12-03 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
142 * format incremented to 238.
143 * The compatibility code to read old latex accents from 0.12.x in
144 InsetLatexAccent::checkContents has been removed.
145 The following translations are done:
147 "\i \xy" -> "\i \x{y}"
148 "\i \x y" -> "\i \x{y}"
149 "\i \x\i" -> "\i \x{\i}"
150 "\i \x\j" -> "\i \x{\j}"
151 x is a latex accent command, y the base character. \, i and j are
153 lyx did these changes already from 0.12.x -> 215, but not lyx2lyx,
154 so formats 215 - 237 can have both versions.
157 2004-10-10 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
159 * format incremented to 237.
160 * In the header, the following statments use now booleans values,
166 2004-08-15 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
168 * format incremented to 236.
175 * The options for \papersize are changed:
178 * All whitespaces are removed at the end of lines, when
179 not necessary. As an example we have all the lines in the header that
180 do not belong to the preamble.
182 2004-07-01 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
184 * format incremented to 235.
185 * \paperpackage had an off-by-one error. Translation table:
187 234: a4 a4wide widemarginsa4
188 235: none a4 a4wide widemarginsa4
190 The "widemarginsa4" setting of 235 has no equivalent in 234.
192 2004-05-12 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
194 * format incremented to 234.
195 * the citation engine is specified explicitly rather than being
196 deduced from 3 bools.
199 \use_numerical_citations 0 -> \cite_engine <style>
202 where <style> is one of "basic", "natbib_authoryear",
203 "natbib_numerical" or "jurabib".
205 2004-04-29 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
207 * format incremented to 233.
208 * insetgraphics does not allow filenames without extension anymore.
209 The complete filename has to be given.
211 2004-03-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
213 * format incremented to 232.
215 * Support for bibtopic (sectioned bibliographies).
216 - bufferparam \use_bibtopic [1|0]
217 - the bibtex inset has a second argument for bibtopic's
218 btPrint{Cited|NotCited|All} command:
220 \begin_inset LatexCommand \bibtex[<style>]{<database>}
222 \begin_inset LatexCommand \bibtex[<style>][<btPrintX>]{<database>}
223 Forwards, there's nothing to be done. Backwards, \usepackage[dot]{bibtopic}
224 has to be inserted to the preamble. Instead of the bibtex inset, the LaTeX
225 \bibliographystyle{<style>}
226 \begin{btSect}{<database>}
231 2004-03-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
233 * format incremented to 231.
235 * Support for sidewaysfigure/sidewaystable (rotating package).
236 insetfloat has now a param \sideways [true|false] (default is false).
237 The param should be erased on downwards conversion, if it was true,
238 the inset should be replaced by
239 \begin{sidewaysfigure} <content> \end{sidewaysfigure}
241 \begin{sidewaystable} <content> \end{sidewaystable}
244 2004-02-23 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
246 * format incremented to 230.
248 * Support for a second optional argument in insetcommand.
249 currently, citation uses this to support natbibs second
250 optional argument \cite[before][after]{key}.
251 I think there's nothing to convert upwards. Downwards, the
252 commands with 2 optional args need to be converted to ERT.
254 * Support for jurabib (param \use_jurabib [1|0], default is 0).
255 When converting downwards, \usepackage{jurabib} has to be added
256 to the preamble and, if babel is used, \usepackage{babel} before
257 (jurabib fails if babel is called afterwards). If the natbib commands
258 are used together with jurabib, they have to be converted to ERT too.
260 2003-12-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
262 * format incremented to 229.
263 * Minipages cannot be read anymore. All minipage insets will
264 be converted to frameless box insets between 228->229.
266 2003-12-15 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
268 * format incremented to 228.
269 * Change the output of all insets derived from InsetCollapsable
270 except for InsetERT (which has a similar output already), changing lines
271 "collapsed true" -> "status collapsed"
272 "collapsed false" -> "status open".
273 * Change the output of InsetERT, changing lines
274 "status Collapsed" -> "status collapsed"
275 "status Open" -> "status open".
276 "status Inlined" -> "status inlined".
278 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
280 * format NOT incremented.
281 * add a 'draft' option to InsetExternal.
283 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
285 * format incremented to 227.
286 * Change the output of InsetBox:
287 \begin_inset Boxed -> \begin_inset Box Boxed
288 \begin_inset Doublebox -> \begin_inset Box Doublebox
289 \begin_inset Frameless -> \begin_inset Box Frameless
290 \begin_inset ovalbox -> \begin_inset Box ovalbox
291 \begin_inset Ovalbox -> \begin_inset Box Ovalbox
292 \begin_inset Shadowbox -> \begin_inset Box Shadowbox
294 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
296 * format incremented to 226.
297 * Change the output of InsetNote:
298 \begin_inset Note -> \begin_inset Note Note
299 \begin_inset Comment -> \begin_inset Note Comment
300 \begin_inset Greyedout -> \begin_inset Note Greyedout
302 2003-11-28 André Pönitz
304 * Remove space_above/space_below from Paragraph.
305 This is now handled by InsetVSpace.
307 2003-10-07 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
309 * Add transformations to InsetExternal
311 boundingBox 0 0 20 20 the dimensions of the B.B..
312 Output if the B.B. is not empty.
313 clip clip the image to the B.B.
315 extra LaTeX "draft" 'extra' data passed to the primary
316 command for this output format.
317 (Possible formats LaTeX, PDFLaTeX,
319 The string can contain spaces and so
321 rotateAngle 30 Rotation of the data.
322 Output for non-zero rotation only.
323 rotateOrigin bottomleft Rotation origin.
324 Output for non-zero rotation and
325 non-default origin (center) only.
327 width 2cm Output only if the image is resized.
331 2003-10-07 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
333 * Added box inset. File format:
335 \begin_inset Ovalbox Boxed/Frameless/ovalbox/Ovalbox
340 inner_pos "b" t/c/b/s
342 width "100col%" unit+width-string
343 special "none" none/height/depth
345 height "1in" unit+width-string
346 height_special "totalheight" none/height/depth
348 collapsed false true/false
350 \begin_layout Standard
357 This box (Frameless, has_inner_box=1, use_parbox=0) replaces
358 the pre-existing Minipage inset. Parameters translate as follows:
359 position 0/1/2 -> t/c/b
360 inner_position 0/1/2/3 -> inner_pos c/t/b/s
365 2003-08-19 Michael Schmitt <michael.schmitt@teststep.org>
367 * attribute valignment="center" is replaced by valignment="middle"
368 for tabular columns and cells
370 2003-08-17 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
372 * Added branch inset. File format:
374 branch definition in the header:
380 \begin_inset Branch <branchname>
381 collapsed false true/false
383 \begin_layout Standard
390 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
392 * \the_end is replaced with \end_document
394 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
396 * \layout is replaced with \begin_layout
398 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@fep.up.pt>
402 * All layouts finish now with \end_layout
404 2003-06-04 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
408 * the storage of the external inset has been changed from
410 \begin_inset External XFig,"file.fig",""
416 \begin_inset External
419 display <display_type>
424 throwing away the final arg (here "", more generally "<string>") that holds
425 the parameters variable.
426 Variables are output if present (filename) or different from the default
427 values (display, lyxscale).
429 Moreover, the RasterImage template has been scrapped. All RasterImage
430 external insets are now converted to Graphics insets.
432 2003-05-20 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
434 * Added new space insets:
435 \SpecialChar ~ is now \InsetSpace ~
436 ERT: "\ " could be converted to InsetSpace \<space>
437 ERT: "\," could be converted to InsetSpace \,
439 2003-04-24 André Pönitz <poenitz@gmx.net>
441 * Added eqref support:
442 \begin_inset LatexCommand \eqref{label}
444 2003-03-14 Dekel Tsur
446 * Format bumped to 223.
448 2003-03-12 John Levon <levon@movementarian.org>
450 * Added \\end_header to signify the end of the header in a
453 * use_amsmath is now a tristate {0 = never, 1 = auto, 2 = always}
455 2003-02-10 John Levon <levon@movementarian.org>
459 Added \\tracking_changes 0|1 to the header.
461 Added \\author to the header. This can be present multiple
462 times, and is of the form :
464 \\author "Real Name" email@address.com
466 Added \\change_deleted, \\change_inserted. Each of these does not
467 span a paragraph, and is delimited by "\\change_unchanged\n". Both are
470 \\change_inserted author time
472 where author is an integer ID reference into the author list in
473 the header, and time is time_t.
475 2002-10-24 Rob Lahaye <lahaye@snu.ac.kr>
477 * insetgraphicsParams.h (scale): is now a float, not an unsigned int.
479 2002-08-22 Rob Lahaye <lahaye@snu.ac.kr>
481 New graphics dialog. With the removal of buttons in the dialog, also
482 keywords in the graphics inset went. The following keywords do not
492 Only non-default values are saved to the lyx files. The defaults of the remaining
502 BoundingBox <from file>
505 rotateOrigin centerBaseline
507 subcaptionText <empty>
510 The remaining keywords have sufficient overlap with the old ones for a
511 smooth reading of the 1.2.x inset keywords in most common cases.
513 Compatibility is certainly broken for the old lyxwidth/lyxheight keywords.
514 They don't exist anymore and we can't translate them into a scaling value, while
515 we're reading the graphics inset. The old lyxwidth/lyxheight keyword and its
516 argument is ignored and lost.
518 Only few compatibility issues are left for lyx2lyx:
520 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
521 old-token new-token remove
522 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
523 size_kind original / size_type 0 scale 100 width <val>
527 size_kind width_height / size_type 1 - scale <val>
529 lyxsize_kind original / lyxsize_type 0 lyxscale 100 lyxscale <val>
530 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
531 [replace old-token by new-token, and remove any of subsequent tokens as listed]
533 If "rotate" is absent, lyx2lyx should ignore "rotateAngle <val>":
534 if ( "rotateAngle <val>" is there WITHOUT being preceded by the keyword "rotate" )
536 replace "rotateAngle <val>" by "rotateAngle 0"
539 2002-08-12 Andre' Poenitz <poenitz@gmx.de>
541 Added \lyxlock for locked math inset when written to .lyx file.
542 When "downgrading" .lyx files this should simple be deleted but it
543 does not hurt at all if it stays in. It does not have to be added
547 2002-08-02 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
549 Added a boolean "preview" flag to InsetCommandParams.
550 Currently it is written only by InsetInclude, because only this
551 class can generate a preview of its contents.
553 The LyX file now contains:
555 \begin_inset Include \input{snapshot_t=40.tex}
560 Earlier versions of LyX just swallow this extra token silently.
562 2002-08-12 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
564 The 1.2.0 InsetGraphicsParams "size_type" and "lyxsize_type" have been
565 renamed as "size_kind" and "lyxsize_kind" respectively.
567 \begin_inset Graphics FormatVersion 1
574 - lyxsize_kind original
575 + lyxsize_type original
