Re: Initials

[Hartmut Haase]

Hi Pavel,
 i have no idea how to get the '[ante=\lglqq, loversize=0.1]' part into the
 output
your approach neglects the possibilities of lettrine. You can only print the 
standard 2line initial, where lettrine has nine different parameters. A 
better approach  would be to put something like []{}{} into the initial 
field when coosing the textstyle Initial, and output it as \lettrine[]{}{} 
to LaTeX. lettrine can handle empty brackets.
If text has already been marked the initial field could look like []{text}
{}.
So if someone then writes [lines=4]{T}{ext }, LaTeX would 
see  \lettrine[lines=4]{T}{ext } which results in 4-line initial,  and ext 
printed in small caps.

Here is the procedure on Linux to install TeXLive 2008:

1) Download the netinstaller (e.g. in /tmp)

cd /tmp
wget
http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008/install-tl-unx.tar.gz

2) Decompress and untar

gunzip -c install-tl-unx.tar.gz | tar xof -

3) Run the installer (as root)

cd install-tl
sudo ./install-tl
selection of required packages, languages and documentation
(here I keep all packages and load only the French language and English and
French docs), keep the default location
/usr/local/texlive/2008/
and ask for installation, I have 1610 files to upload)

 sevaral hours later, install procedure is achieved

4) Customize if needed (texconfig run, and texmf local stuff e.g.)

5) Change the PATH

export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/i386-linux:$PATH

in a test cammand window (or permanently in the .bashrc file or similar)

Not a big deal then.

Either it works for all platforms or it still is 500+ platform specific

sudo ./install-tl


 sevaral hours later, install procedure is achieved

4) Customize if needed (texconfig run, and texmf local stuff e.g.)

5) Change the PATH

export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/i386-linux:$PATH

in a test cammand window (or permanently in the .bashrc file or similar)

Not a big deal then.

You probably mean LFUN_FONT_UNDERLINE.

as i said our layout/module machinery doesn't allow to handle [], at least i am 
not
aware about it ;)

secondly if you want something like []{}{} to be print on the lyx screen whats

A ticket for "enable custom insertions before the required packages", yes.

Independent of this, there are cases where you want to pass an option
to an autoloaded package but cannot use the global document options for
this because this would affect other packages or the documentclass as
well. The LaTeX way to do this is  \PassOptionToPackage *before*
loading the package in question.

Please don't automatically add bugs.

There will be unavoidable duplicates, and I don't want to have tons of
bugs that we can never reproduce and of which we won't gain any new
information. So, they won't be fixed ever, and if they are fixed, we
don't know that they are fixed.

My opinion is that if we don't know how to reproduce, we don't add them
to trac.

Sure. We need a package manager.

That kind of reason...

What was the system Qt version shipped with the Windows distribution?
We do have to depend on the system Qt there, right?

Either it works for all platforms or it still is "500+ platform specific
lines code". QLocalSocket uses named pipes on Windows but unix domain
sockets on *nix, so it cannot be used for all platforms.

Fix a bunch of assertions.

The first thing that bformat does is to check whether the string contains

Why didn't we see this happen before ? This was revealed by the emergency saves

This does not automatically add bugs. It links to the search page, and
fills out all the relevant entries for the user.

This was not in question. Currently, Keytest does not even report bugs
that it cannot reproduce.  Indeed a hypothetical "shiny gui" version
of the program would more-or-less force the users to explain how to
reproduce the bug manually before allowing them to even access the
information in a Trac-friendly format.

As observed by Vincent, the assertion is not needed, and I verified that 
setCurrentWorkArea() tolerates a NULL argument (see attached patch).
