1 LyX file-format changes
2 -----------------------§
6 * format incremented to 257: lyxline changes
8 2006-12-22 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
10 * format incremented to 256: allow some new inputenc settings.
11 For the complete list, see lib/lyx2lyx/lyx_1_5.py.
13 2006-11-25 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
15 * format incremented to 255: new insets for \clearpage and
16 \cleardoublepage. They are written inline to the file, exactly like
19 2006-11-13 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
21 * format incremented to 254: new header parameter \use_esint.
22 It can have the same values as \use_amsmath: 0 (off), 1 (auto) and
25 2006-10-18 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
27 * format incremented to 253: new nomenclature and printnomenclature
28 insets. These are standard InsetCommand with the following parameters:
29 \nomenclature[prefix]{symbol}{description}
30 \printnomenclature[labelwidth]
32 2006-10-15 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
34 * format incremented to 252: changed command inset syntax
38 \begin_inset LatexCommand \cmdname[opt1][opt2]{arg}
49 \begin_inset LatexCommand cmdname
56 The order of the parameters and for each parameter the name and
57 optional/required bit is now stored in InsetCommandParams.
59 2006-10-03 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
61 * format incremented to 251: save show_label param for charstyles.
63 On revert, the show_label param is just removed. Nothing to convert.
65 2006-10-12 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
67 * Format incremented to 250: allow optional arg to environments
69 No material format change. Now optargs for environments are allowed
70 to be specified in layout files and will be handled properly. When
71 converted back to older formats, they will be ignored in LaTeX
74 2006-08-14 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
76 * format incremented to 249: Unicode
78 LyX documents are now always encoded in utf8. The value of
79 \inputencoding does now only determine the encoding of the created
81 Up to format 248 the value of \inputencoding did also determine the
82 encoding of the LyX file:
84 \inputencoding LyX file encoding
85 auto as determined by the document and character
88 everything else as determined by \inputencoding
90 The difference between auto and default is only the LaTeX output:
91 auto causes loading of the inputenc package, default does not.
93 2006-07-03 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
95 * format incremented to 248: Basic booktabs support
97 The <features> tag has a new switch: booktabs="true|false".
98 An absent switch is equivalent to booktabs="false".
99 Horizontal lines are set with the booktabs package if this switch
102 The <row> tag of tabulars has the following new attributes:
103 topspace, bottomspace and interlinespace. All take a LyXLength
104 as value, or the special keyword "default".
106 2006-06-10 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
108 * format incremented to 247. The Grand Font Interface Rewrite.
109 (1) Split font selection to rm, sf, tt:
110 \fontscheme -> \font_roman, \font_sans, \font_typewriter
112 \fontscheme \font_roman \font_sans \font_typewriter
113 default default default default
114 ae ae default default
115 times times default default
116 palatino palatino default default
117 helvet default helvet default
118 avant default avant default
119 newcent newcent default default
120 bookman bookman default default
121 pslatex times (or \usepackage{pslatex})
123 \font_roman: cmr (-> \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{cmr}),
124 lmodern, charter, utopia, ccfonts, chancery, beraserif
125 (-> \usepackage{<name>})
126 \font_sans: cmss, lmss, cmbr
127 (-> \renewcommand{\sfdefault}{<name>})
128 berasans (-> \usepackage{<name>})
129 \font_typewriter: cmtt, lmtt, cmtl,
130 (-> \renewcommand{\sfdefault}{<name>})
131 courier, luximono, beramono
132 (-> \usepackage{<name>})
133 (2) New param \font_default_family (rmdefault, sfdefault, ttdefault)
134 (3) New param \font_sc (true, false).
135 (4) New param \font_osf (true, false).
136 (5) New param \font_sf_scale (float)
137 (6) New param \font_tt_scale (float)
138 Support for the following fonts has been added:
139 bera, ccfonts, chancery, charter, cmbright, computer modern (explicitely),
140 courier, lmodern, luximono, utopia.
141 Support for the following font has been removed:
142 pslatex (it's superseded by mathptmx (times)).
144 2006-06-03 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
146 * format incremented to 246. The framed.sty package is
147 now supported with note types framed and shaded.
149 2005-10-12 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
151 * format incremented to 245. The \quotes_times parameter
154 2005-09-24 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
156 * format incremented to 244. Rename '\InsetSpace \,'
157 to '\InsetSpace \thinspace{}', because the comma was
158 not parsed by lyxlex, and '\InsetSpace \space' to
159 '\InsetSpace \space{}' in favour of consistency.
161 2005-07-18 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
163 * format incremented to 243.
165 * this change only affects the preamble, the paperpackage
166 option was removed and papersize is changed to default.
168 2005-06-21 Jean-Marc Lasgouttes <lasgouttes@lyx.org>
170 * format incremented to 242. There is no file format per
171 se, but the "frenchb" language has been removed from lib/language
172 and has to be translated to "french" by lyx2lyx.
174 2005-02-03 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
176 * format incremented to 241.
178 All following changes apply only to text in ERT insets. The
179 rationale is that text in ERT is simply ASCII text, and nothing more.
181 * paragraph breaks are now a single newline in latex and not a
182 paragraph break anymore (bug 698).
183 * \newline is not allowed anymore, because it is redundant (see above)
184 * layouts other than Standard, paragraph parameters and font changes
185 are not allowed anymore. They never made sense and were ignored for
186 latex output, but now they can't be read or set anymore (bug 922).
189 2005-01-23 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmüller@gmx.de>
191 * format incremented to 240.
193 \output_changes {true|false}
194 (should the change tracking marks be visible in the output or not?)
195 * lyx2lyx should just delete the param in 239.
197 2005-01-06 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
199 * format incremented to 239.
200 * the paragraph parameters are displayed in their own line. This
201 change is consistent with the insets behaviour, and corresponds
202 to a more uniform treatment of the paragraphs since some of them
203 had already their own line.
205 An example of a single paragraph follows:
207 \begin_layout Standard
208 \paragraph_spacing single
214 2004-12-03 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
216 * format incremented to 238.
217 * The compatibility code to read old latex accents from 0.12.x in
218 InsetLatexAccent::checkContents has been removed.
219 The following translations are done:
221 "\i \xy" -> "\i \x{y}"
222 "\i \x y" -> "\i \x{y}"
223 "\i \x\i" -> "\i \x{\i}"
224 "\i \x\j" -> "\i \x{\j}"
225 x is a latex accent command, y the base character. \, i and j are
227 lyx did these changes already from 0.12.x -> 215, but not lyx2lyx,
228 so formats 215 - 237 can have both versions.
231 2004-10-10 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
233 * format incremented to 237.
234 * In the header, the following statments use now booleans values,
240 2004-08-15 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
242 * format incremented to 236.
249 * The options for \papersize are changed:
252 * All whitespaces are removed at the end of lines, when
253 not necessary. As an example we have all the lines in the header that
254 do not belong to the preamble.
256 2004-07-01 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
258 * format incremented to 235.
259 * \paperpackage had an off-by-one error. Translation table:
261 234: a4 a4wide widemarginsa4
262 235: none a4 a4wide widemarginsa4
264 The "widemarginsa4" setting of 235 has no equivalent in 234.
266 2004-05-12 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
268 * format incremented to 234.
269 * the citation engine is specified explicitly rather than being
270 deduced from 3 bools.
273 \use_numerical_citations 0 -> \cite_engine <style>
276 where <style> is one of "basic", "natbib_authoryear",
277 "natbib_numerical" or "jurabib".
279 2004-04-29 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
281 * format incremented to 233.
282 * insetgraphics does not allow filenames without extension anymore.
283 The complete filename has to be given.
285 2004-03-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
287 * format incremented to 232.
289 * Support for bibtopic (sectioned bibliographies).
290 - bufferparam \use_bibtopic [1|0]
291 - the bibtex inset has a second argument for bibtopic's
292 btPrint{Cited|NotCited|All} command:
294 \begin_inset LatexCommand \bibtex[<style>]{<database>}
296 \begin_inset LatexCommand \bibtex[<style>][<btPrintX>]{<database>}
297 Forwards, there's nothing to be done. Backwards, \usepackage[dot]{bibtopic}
298 has to be inserted to the preamble. Instead of the bibtex inset, the LaTeX
299 \bibliographystyle{<style>}
300 \begin{btSect}{<database>}
305 2004-03-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
307 * format incremented to 231.
309 * Support for sidewaysfigure/sidewaystable (rotating package).
310 insetfloat has now a param \sideways [true|false] (default is false).
311 The param should be erased on downwards conversion, if it was true,
312 the inset should be replaced by
313 \begin{sidewaysfigure} <content> \end{sidewaysfigure}
315 \begin{sidewaystable} <content> \end{sidewaystable}
318 2004-02-23 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
320 * format incremented to 230.
322 * Support for a second optional argument in insetcommand.
323 currently, citation uses this to support natbibs second
324 optional argument \cite[before][after]{key}.
325 I think there's nothing to convert upwards. Downwards, the
326 commands with 2 optional args need to be converted to ERT.
328 * Support for jurabib (param \use_jurabib [1|0], default is 0).
329 When converting downwards, \usepackage{jurabib} has to be added
330 to the preamble and, if babel is used, \usepackage{babel} before
331 (jurabib fails if babel is called afterwards). If the natbib commands
332 are used together with jurabib, they have to be converted to ERT too.
334 2003-12-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
336 * format incremented to 229.
337 * Minipages cannot be read anymore. All minipage insets will
338 be converted to frameless box insets between 228->229.
340 2003-12-15 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
342 * format incremented to 228.
343 * Change the output of all insets derived from InsetCollapsable
344 except for InsetERT (which has a similar output already), changing lines
345 "collapsed true" -> "status collapsed"
346 "collapsed false" -> "status open".
347 * Change the output of InsetERT, changing lines
348 "status Collapsed" -> "status collapsed"
349 "status Open" -> "status open".
350 "status Inlined" -> "status inlined".
352 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
354 * format NOT incremented.
355 * add a 'draft' option to InsetExternal.
357 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
359 * format incremented to 227.
360 * Change the output of InsetBox:
361 \begin_inset Boxed -> \begin_inset Box Boxed
362 \begin_inset Doublebox -> \begin_inset Box Doublebox
363 \begin_inset Frameless -> \begin_inset Box Frameless
364 \begin_inset ovalbox -> \begin_inset Box ovalbox
365 \begin_inset Ovalbox -> \begin_inset Box Ovalbox
366 \begin_inset Shadowbox -> \begin_inset Box Shadowbox
368 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
370 * format incremented to 226.
371 * Change the output of InsetNote:
372 \begin_inset Note -> \begin_inset Note Note
373 \begin_inset Comment -> \begin_inset Note Comment
374 \begin_inset Greyedout -> \begin_inset Note Greyedout
376 2003-11-28 André Pönitz
378 * Remove space_above/space_below from Paragraph.
379 This is now handled by InsetVSpace.
381 2003-10-07 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
383 * Add transformations to InsetExternal
385 boundingBox 0 0 20 20 the dimensions of the B.B..
386 Output if the B.B. is not empty.
387 clip clip the image to the B.B.
389 extra LaTeX "draft" 'extra' data passed to the primary
390 command for this output format.
391 (Possible formats LaTeX, PDFLaTeX,
392 LinuxDoc, DocBook, Ascii.)
393 The string can contain spaces and so
395 rotateAngle 30 Rotation of the data.
396 Output for non-zero rotation only.
397 rotateOrigin bottomleft Rotation origin.
398 Output for non-zero rotation and
399 non-default origin (center) only.
401 width 2cm Output only if the image is resized.
405 2003-10-07 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
407 * Added box inset. File format:
409 \begin_inset Ovalbox Boxed/Frameless/ovalbox/Ovalbox
414 inner_pos "b" t/c/b/s
416 width "100col%" unit+width-string
417 special "none" none/height/depth
419 height "1in" unit+width-string
420 height_special "totalheight" none/height/depth
422 collapsed false true/false
424 \begin_layout Standard
431 This box (Frameless, has_inner_box=1, use_parbox=0) replaces
432 the pre-existing Minipage inset. Parameters translate as follows:
433 position 0/1/2 -> t/c/b
434 inner_position 0/1/2/3 -> inner_pos c/t/b/s
439 2003-08-19 Michael Schmitt <michael.schmitt@teststep.org>
441 * attribute valignment="center" is replaced by valignment="middle"
442 for tabular columns and cells
444 2003-08-17 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
446 * Added branch inset. File format:
448 branch definition in the header:
454 \begin_inset Branch <branchname>
455 collapsed false true/false
457 \begin_layout Standard
464 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
466 * \the_end is replaced with \end_document
468 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
470 * \layout is replaced with \begin_layout
472 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@fep.up.pt>
476 * All layouts finish now with \end_layout
478 2003-06-04 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
482 * the storage of the external inset has been changed from
484 \begin_inset External XFig,"file.fig",""
490 \begin_inset External
493 display <display_type>
498 throwing away the final arg (here "", more generally "<string>") that holds
499 the parameters variable.
500 Variables are output if present (filename) or different from the default
501 values (display, lyxscale).
503 Moreover, the RasterImage template has been scrapped. All RasterImage
504 external insets are now converted to Graphics insets.
506 2003-05-20 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
508 * Added new space insets:
509 \SpecialChar ~ is now \InsetSpace ~
510 ERT: "\ " could be converted to InsetSpace \<space>
511 ERT: "\," could be converted to InsetSpace \,
513 2003-04-24 André Pönitz <poenitz@gmx.net>
515 * Added eqref support:
516 \begin_inset LatexCommand \eqref{label}
518 2003-03-14 Dekel Tsur
520 * Format bumped to 223.
522 2003-03-12 John Levon <levon@movementarian.org>
524 * Added \\end_header to signify the end of the header in a
527 * use_amsmath is now a tristate {0 = never, 1 = auto, 2 = always}
529 2003-02-10 John Levon <levon@movementarian.org>
533 Added \\tracking_changes 0|1 to the header.
535 Added \\author to the header. This can be present multiple
536 times, and is of the form :
538 \\author "Real Name" email@address.com
540 Added \\change_deleted, \\change_inserted. Each of these does not
541 span a paragraph, and is delimited by "\\change_unchanged\n". Both are
544 \\change_inserted author time
546 where author is an integer ID reference into the author list in
547 the header, and time is time_t.
549 2002-10-24 Rob Lahaye <lahaye@snu.ac.kr>
551 * insetgraphicsParams.h (scale): is now a float, not an unsigned int.
553 2002-08-22 Rob Lahaye <lahaye@snu.ac.kr>
555 New graphics dialog. With the removal of buttons in the dialog, also
556 keywords in the graphics inset went. The following keywords do not
566 Only non-default values are saved to the lyx files. The defaults of the remaining
576 BoundingBox <from file>
579 rotateOrigin centerBaseline
581 subcaptionText <empty>
584 The remaining keywords have sufficient overlap with the old ones for a
585 smooth reading of the 1.2.x inset keywords in most common cases.
587 Compatibility is certainly broken for the old lyxwidth/lyxheight keywords.
588 They don't exist anymore and we can't translate them into a scaling value, while
589 we're reading the graphics inset. The old lyxwidth/lyxheight keyword and its
590 argument is ignored and lost.
592 Only few compatibility issues are left for lyx2lyx:
594 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
595 old-token new-token remove
596 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
597 size_kind original / size_type 0 scale 100 width <val>
601 size_kind width_height / size_type 1 - scale <val>
603 lyxsize_kind original / lyxsize_type 0 lyxscale 100 lyxscale <val>
604 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
605 [replace old-token by new-token, and remove any of subsequent tokens as listed]
607 If "rotate" is absent, lyx2lyx should ignore "rotateAngle <val>":
608 if ( "rotateAngle <val>" is there WITHOUT being preceded by the keyword "rotate" )
610 replace "rotateAngle <val>" by "rotateAngle 0"
613 2002-08-12 Andre' Poenitz <poenitz@gmx.de>
615 Added \lyxlock for locked math inset when written to .lyx file.
616 When "downgrading" .lyx files this should simple be deleted but it
617 does not hurt at all if it stays in. It does not have to be added
621 2002-08-02 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
623 Added a boolean "preview" flag to InsetCommandParams.
624 Currently it is written only by InsetInclude, because only this
625 class can generate a preview of its contents.
627 The LyX file now contains:
629 \begin_inset Include \input{snapshot_t=40.tex}
634 Earlier versions of LyX just swallow this extra token silently.
636 2002-08-12 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
638 The 1.2.0 InsetGraphicsParams "size_type" and "lyxsize_type" have been
639 renamed as "size_kind" and "lyxsize_kind" respectively.
641 \begin_inset Graphics FormatVersion 1
648 - lyxsize_kind original
649 + lyxsize_type original
