Consider a footnote with several paragraphs and assume it is typeset
in \emph like this:
\emph{Some text\footnote{and and explanation
on several paragraphs}}
This will cause a LaTeX error because the \emph macro will not be
terminated at the end of the first paragraph. This is the reason why
noFontChange was introduced.
Hmm, yes I see. However, I think that for languages the behavior is
different, and it won't close at the end of the paragraph. That's what
was confusing me --- I saw the comments explaining what would happen
without the noFontChange, but didn't see the problem actually happen,
because I'm testing it with the languages...
So, I'll try to fix this by ignoring noFontChange for languages, but
leaving it in for everything else.
However, Georg is right: this *does* constitute a format change, and I
don't see that I'll be able to fix this, and provide a lyx2lyx fix,
within the next day or two; and I certainly don't feel that I know this
well enough to commit it just before a final release... But, it would
also be a real shame to wait with this fix until 1.6....
Also, I looked at bug 3613 again, and now that I have a better
understanding of what's going on, I see that the problem there is
similar, but not exactly the same. The thing is that some fix was made
at some point, but without an accompanying lyx2lyx. So Fixing that will
also require a lyx2lyx fix.
What to do...? Is it worth even trying to work on these before 1.5.0, or
should I just forget it... :( ? Note that in the case of 3613, the
damage is already done, and currently files such as the example there
(actually, available at
http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyx-devel/trunk/lib/doc/he/Intro.lyx?rev=17343)
are broken in 1.5.0....
