-The main output routines now more or less work.
+TODO:
+1. CSS needs work in several places, mostly floats. Maybe check elyxer on that.
+2. MathML
-Known issues:
-* Right now, other than that some things don't work at all, none.
-
-These insets are basically done, though there are probably issues here and there,
- and there are even some FIXMEs:
- Bibitem, Branch, Caption, Collapsable, Footnote, Hyperlink, Include, Info,
- Label, Line, Listings, Marginal, Note, Newline, Newpage, Quotes, Space,
- SpecialChar, Wrap
-
-These insets do nothing for XHTML:
- ERT, OptArg, Phantom
These insets work but still need work:
- InsetBibtex: There are a few issues here.
- - One is that the output is not very nice. This will be solved, though, by
- a patch of mine I seem to have forgotten to finish. To get output that
- accorded with the BibTeX style, of course, we'd have to parse the bbl file.
- I don't know if that's worth it.
+ InsetBibtex: There are a few issues here.
+ - One is that the output is not very nice. This will be solved, though, by

- Another issue concerns cross-references. At the moment, we simply use the
xref information for every entry, rather than listing the xref separately and
then referencing it. That should not be terribly hard, but it would take a bit
of work.
- - A third issue concerns the labels. At present, we use the BibTeX key as the
- citation label. It would not be too hard, I think, to use numerical labels,
- in the way BibTeX does. To do so, we'd need to move the sorting routine out
- of InsetBibtex so we could do it before we print the citations. See below.
InsetBox: The CSS isn't there yet.
- InsetCitation: This has two limitations as of 20 XI 2009. The first is that we
- ignore the citation style and output square brackets, no matter what. The
- second is that, with BibTeX, we simply use the BibTeX key as the citation
- string, thus ignoring numerical, author-year, etc. It will not be too hard
- to make numerical work. To do this, we need to collect information on the
- used citations, alphabetize them, and then assign numerical labels via the
- BibTeXInfo::label() method. A similar strategy will work for author-year and
- the like, but calculating labels will be more complex---unless we just parse
- the bbl file, which of course is the only fully general solution.
InsetFlex: I think this one is OK, but it needs some testing.
- InsetFloat: This seems to work OK, but it will need testing and tweaking.
+ InsetFloat: This seems to work OK, but it will need testing and tweaking. There is
+ also no CSS yet for these.
+ InsetFloatList: Seems to work well, but may need testing.
InsetGraphics: This works in a pretty primitive way, in that it outputs the graphic
and appropriate img tag. But we don't yet do any sort of scaling, rotating, and
- so forth. That won't be hard, since we can just call ImageMagick to do this for
+ so forth. That won't be hard, since we can just call ImageMagick to do this for
us, but appropriate routines will need to be written.
- InsetRef: At present, we just use the label name as associated text, and put it
- into square brackets. It'd be nice to be able to do more, but for that we'd need to
- associate counters with the labels, and we don't have that yet.
+ InsetIndex and InsetPrintIndex: These work with limitations, as noted in the
+ Additional Features manual.
+ InsetNomencl and InsetPrintNomencl: Do not work at all yet, but would be easy to do.
+ First, Nomencl would need to go to the TOC, which it should do anyway. Then just
+ do as for TOC and Index, more or less.
+ InsetTabular: Works reasonably well, but we don't do anything with any of the
+ arguments provided for longtable. There are probably other limitations, too,
+ since I'm very much not an expert with tables.
-These insets do not work and are not yet scheduled to work:
- InsetExternal: It may be that this won't be too hard, but I don't understand
- these so am not sure what to do. For now, it is disabled.
- InsetIndex and InsetPrintIndex: An "advanced" case. What really would be cool
- would be to collect all of these and then write the index as a series of links
- back to the occurrences. But not now.
- InsetNomencl and InsetPrintNomencl: Also "advanced".
-May need to make use here of TocWidget::itemInset, which should then be moved
-to TocBackend.
+Math
+ We have a fair bit of math now working via MathML output, but there are still some
+ isues, and not all the insets work. Here are the ones I know still need work:
+ - Array: Should be able to use alignment information via appropriate attributes, for
+ mtable, mrow, and mtd.
+ - Box: There is a general issue here with text mode nesting. See the FIXME attached
+ to the SetMode class.
+ - Lefteqn: For this, and numbering in general, probably need mlabeledtr, which may
+ mean we always need to output <mtable>.
+ - Par?
+ - Phantom: There is some support for this in MathML....
+ - Space: Needs checking.
+ - SpecialChar: Needs checking.
+ - Split: There are some alignment issues here, but it basically works.
+ - Substack: This is a stack of however many cells, all in a smaller style.
+ Probably do something with <mover>, again.
+ - Tabular: This is more or less a text-like table in math. Probably output it
+ as a table, but set the font.
-These do not yet work and need some attention:
- InsetTabular: This shouldn't be too hard, but will need doing.
- InsetTOC: We should just be able to use what we have in the TOC. To get links to
- work, though, we'll need to co-ordinate the writing of anchors in the sections,
- which won't actually happen until later.
+Other math notes:
+ - AMSArray: Some of these should be handled via images. I need to investigate which.
+ - Hull:
+ - Need to handle the equation hull type by outputting a counter. But that will
+ have to wait for the counter patch. The counter probably goes with mlabeledtr,
+ which may mean we always need to output <mtable>.
+ - Similar issues about eqnarray.
+ - It's not clear if we need to do much about the other hull types.
-MATH
- Regarding math, the view seems to be that we should in the first instance just use what
- we get from instant preview and copy those over to the output directory, and then try
- to make MathML work.
