reLyX 2.8.1.1!
reLyX/CHANGES says:
- -o option allows you to create temp & LyX file(s) in a given output directory
Eventually settled on -o outputdir instead of -o outfilename. There are
various problems. Two for example: what if you use -p with a number of files?
And what if your file includes other files? You can't give a -o for each of
them!
So if you reLyX -o "a/b" dir/foo.tex, then the temp files will be called
a/b/foo.relyx[1-4], and the LyX file will be a/b/foo.lyx. Without -o, they
would be dir/foo.*.
In addition, if dir/foo.tex has a "\include{c/d/blah}", then its temp files
and LyX file will also be a/b/blah.*. (And foo.lyx will correctly include
a/b/blah.lyx.) Without -o, the temps & final file would be in c/d.
So if you've got a read-only directory foo, just use, e.g., reLyX -o "."
foo/bar.tex. Could also be useful if you \include a bunch of files from
different directories, but would like to consolidate all the LyX files in one
directory.
It should now be trivial to change lyx to execute the string
"reLyX -o" + tmp_dir + " -f " + latex_file
Or something like that. I consider the fact that import won't work on
read-only directories a bug, which means you're allowed to fix it in 1.0.
(That is, if you care about what I think. Is it Friday yet?)
- support figure & figure* float
No, we DON'T support \includegraphics or \epsf. I've started working on that,
but it's a bigger project. But this will at least put your ERT \includegraphics
into a "fig" float, so you can collapse it :)
- BUG: \input and \include support was broken
Oops! Broken in the upgrade to 2.8. Good thing noone ever uses reLyX :)
- BUG: reLyX didn't notice if it was trying to write to a read-only directory,
causing bad errors. Now it dies politely.
As reported by Sven Kopp. thanks!
- support \index and \printindex
You're welcome, JMarc.
- \^ and \~ are apparently legal LaTeX, so support them. Also \textless,
\textgreater, \textbar
Jean-Marc and I have been gradually migrating reLyX/LyX to input/output
slightly more modern LaTeX 2e.
I'm leaving for the weekend (taking a Chanuka break and working through
Christmas) tomorrow morning, so hopefully there won't be any bugs. The bad
news is, I might note able to send e-mail friday, which will just ruin the
weekend---if I insult random people, they might not know the Friday rule...
I ought to have time for the figure stuff *next* week (my wife's out of town,
so I'll just code instead of drinking lots of beer. Or maybe both?)
At that point, I'll declare reLyX 2.9 "stable beta", which is the same thing
that LyX calls itself, even though I don't really know what it means. And yes,
there are still plenty of bugs, but I think my bug list is shorter than LyX's
:)
Happy reLyXing!
