Interface changes ----------------- -There have been some changes to the LyX command line. There is a new option -"--batch" that causes LyX to run the given commands without opening a GUI -window. Thus, something like: - lyx --batch -x "buffer-print printer default dvips" myfile.lyx -will cause LyX to print myfile.lyx to the default printer, using dvips and -the default print settings (which, of course, have to have been configured -already). At present, not many commands can be used this way, but there will -be more eventually. +There have been some changes to the LyX command line. The following new +options have been added: -The following variables are obsoleted in 2.0 +-export-to (-E ) -- \plaintext_roff_command (was not used anymore) -- \spell_command and \use_spell_lib (ispell support has been removed) -- \custom_export_command and \custom_export_format + Allows one to perform a batch export of the LyX file that is opened + to the specified destination file and format . + For example, to create a PDF of a LyX document, you can run: + lyx -export-to pdf /path/to/dest.pdf /path/to/source.lyx + See the manual page for details. + This functionality is also available via a new menu voice + Export->Export As..., that pops up a dialog allowing one to + choose the export format, as well as the destination pathname. + Also, it is available via the mini-buffer (or the -x switch) + through a proper new LFUN (see below). +The Advanced Find and Replace feature now supports cancel of a long +search operation by hitting the ESC key. -The following new LyX functions have been introduced: +The following pref variables were changed in 2.0: -- LFUN_WORD_FINDAD ("word-findadv"). +The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.0: -- LFUN_REGEXP_MODE ("regexp-mode"). +- \\default_papersize -- LFUN_PHANTOM_INSERT ("phantom-insert"). +The following new LyX functions have been introduced: -- LFUN_INSET_BEGIN ("inset-begin"). +- LFUN_BUFFER_EXPORT_AS + Equivalent to the new -export-to command-line switch (see above). -- LFUN_INSET_END (""inset-end""). +- LFUN_CLIPBOARD_PASTE_SIMPLE ("clipboard-paste-simple") + Paste the clipboard contents as simple unformatted text. + This is also available through a new menu voice within the + [Edit]->[Paste Special...] sub-menu. -- LFUN_INSET_BEGIN_SELECT ("inset-begin-select"). -- LFUN_INSET_END_SELECT ("inset-end-select"). +The following LyX functions have been removed: -- LFUN_CHANGE_PREVIOUS ("change-previous"). +//template, remove this entry later on +- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead. -- LFUN_INSERT_LABEL_AS_REF ("insert-label-as-reference"). -- LFUN_SECTION_SELECT ("section-select"). +The following LyX functions have been changed: -- LFUN_FONT_UNDERLINE ("font-underline"). +//template, remove this entry later on +- LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE ("inset-toggle"): For some insets, this function was used + to show the settings dialog.
