1 The main output routines now more or less work.
4 - InsetLine normally appears in a standard environment, which puts <hr /> inside
5 <p>, in violation of the DTD. I guess we could close the paragraph and then do
6 the <hr />, but isn't there a better solution? There's actually a LyX bug here,
7 I think, since a line surely ought not appear in a normal paragraph?
8 - The code that manages the nesting of tags is pretty primitive. It needs a lot
11 These insets are basically done, though there are probably issues here and there,
12 and there are even some FIXMEs:
13 Branch, Collapsable, Footnote, Hyperlink, Label, Line, Note,
14 Newline, Newpage, Quotes, Space, SpecialChar
16 These insets do nothing for XHTML:
19 These insets work but still need work:
20 InsetBox: We need a Length::asHTML() method and the like, but it basically works.
21 though the CSS isn't there yet.
23 These insets do not work but should be completely straightforward:
24 Caption, Flex (uses collapsable)
26 These do not yet work and need some attention:
27 InsetBibitem: Should be fairly straightforward, in itself, actually.
28 InsetBibtex: We should be able to collect the keys of references in
29 validate() and then use our parsed information to output some sort of
30 bibliography. Formatting is another question, but here again we could
31 try parsing the bbl file.
32 InsetCitation: I think we'll want to do something here involving reference keys.
33 Maybe for the beginning, we should just do everything numerically, but even
34 that will need a bit of work. Validation is our friend, presumably.
35 InsetCommand: By default does nothing. That may be right?
36 InsetExternal: I don't understand these so am not sure what to do.
37 InsetFloat: This will need some work, again because I do not really understand
38 what these are meant to do. Presumably, we'll just use a div or something, but
39 it's not clear what subfloat means, etc.
40 InsetGraphics: This should be fairly straightforward, but I'll need to learn a bit
41 about export formats, etc, to get it completely right. We'll also want to make
42 some use of the params, eg, on width and height. I guess there is also some
43 issue about converting the graphics formats?
44 InsetInclude: I think we just want to include it, straightforwardly. Probably will
45 base this more on the latex() routine, then. Another possibility, maybe with a
46 flag of some sort, would be to do it as a separate file, to which we link.
47 InsetIndex and InsetPrintIndex: An "advanced" case. What really would be cool
48 would be to collect all of these and then write the index as a series of links
49 back to the occurrences. But not now.
50 InsetInfo: Probably skip it.
51 InsetListings: Probably just output it as <pre>.
52 InsetMarginal: Fine, but will need CSS.
53 InsetNomencl and InsetPrintNomencl: Also "advanced".
54 InsetRef: Presumably, this is an internal link. But what should the text be, and how
55 should we get it? Probably some validation thing again, where labels tell us where
56 they are. Alternatively, we could parse the aux file.
57 InsetTabular: This shouldn't be too hard, but will need doing.
58 InsetTOC: Here again, validation might do the trick, but I'm not sure. Or perhaps some
59 kind of post-processing? Another option, maybe the best option, would be just to use
60 the information we already have in the TOC.
61 InsetVSpace: This will be easy, once we have the Length::asHTML() method.
62 InsetWrap: This should be simple enough, probably a div and some CSS, but I'm not sure
63 precisely what this is supposed to do.
66 Regarding math, the view seems to be that we should in the first instance just use what
67 we get from instant preview and copy those over to the output directory, and then try
