Writer2LaTeX Changelog

What's new in Writer2LaTeX 1.5.2 Alpha

May 14, 2015
  • Items marked with * are work in progress
  • [all] Using the filters from the command line with soffice --headless --convert-to is now documented in the user manual [all] Filter API change: The filters now accepts the FilterOptions property as an alternative to FilterData.
  • This property accepts a comma separated string of option=value items. In particular this allows to pass option from the command line (soffice --headless --convert-to).
  • [all] API change: The interface OutputFile now defines an additional method containsMath() which returns true if the file contains mathematical formulas (only implemented for XHTML, currently always returns true for LaTeX)
  • [w2x] The template page in the configuration now displays an error message if the template is not well-formed XML.
  • [w2x] Added toolbar configuration dialog: Select XHTML and EPUB export format and behavior after export (do nothing, display in default viewer or display with custom application)
  • [w2x] New option include_ncx to include a NCX file even if the export format is EPUB 3
  • [w2x] Added EPUB 3 as export format and changed default export format for the toolbar to EPUB 3
  • [all] Implementation detail: Moved descriptions to a separate folder within the extensions
  • [all] The position of message boxes has changed from (0,0) to (200,100)
  • [w2l] Implementation detail: The dialog library W4LDialogs is now merged into W2LDialogs2. This avoids conflicts with the old Writer4LaTeX extension if this happens to be installed.
  • [all] Fixed typo in export dialogs: The text on the help button was in danish.
  • [w2x] New boolean option embed_img (default false). If set to true, the binary contents of img elements are included directly on the src attribute as base64.
  • [w2l] The bibliography configuration is slightly modified: The options to convert Zotero or JabRef citations are now only available if the option to use external BibTeX files is selected
  • [w2l] Added new BibTeX dialog to insert a bibliographic reference to a BibTeX file. The BibTeX files are located as defined in the configuration, and the reference is inserted as an ordinary reference mark.
  • [w2l] Various improvements to the log viewer dialog: Reduced height to better accommodate small screen resolutions. Added checkbox to filter the LaTeX log to display only errors. Added help page and long tips.
  • [w2x] Changed default export format for toolbar from XHTML+MathML to HTML5
  • [w2l] Added new option font to load font packages. It accepts a large number of standard font packages such as cmbright or fourier. Only packages with math support are included. Unknown packages defaults to Computer Modern.
  • The font option is currently not available for the backend xetex.
  • In the user interface, this option can be found in the export dialog. To make room for this, the BibTeX settings no longer has a heading in the dialog.
  • [w2l] Bugfix: Include w2lconfig.oxt in the distribution (was missing in 1.5.1)

New in Writer2LaTeX 1.5.1 Alpha (Nov 10, 2014)

  • CHANGES:
  • Implementation detail: Updated to version 20140107 of the JSON library org.json.* from JSON.org. Now based on prebuilt jar rather than directly on the source.
  • Merged the extension Writer4LaTeX into Writer2LaTeX, where it now appears as "the Writer2LaTeX toolbar". Replaced menu with a toolbar with four buttons: Insert BibTeX citation (not yet implemented), publish to LaTeX, view log files and edit custom format. (Publishing without showing the dialog is currently removed.) Using the toolbar bypasses the filter logic, which gives a significant performance gain for large documents. The remaining parts of Writer4LaTeX (the article template, configuration and help file) has been renamed to "Writer2LaTeX configurations" (short w2lconfig).
  • Implementation detail: Replaced Robert Harder's base 64 class with javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter
  • Style maps for paragraphs and headings now support the attributes before and after. These define fixed texts to add before/after the content. (This is similar to the pseudo-elements ::before and ::after in CSS.)
  • Added toolbar with four buttons: Publish directly to XHTML, publish directly to EPUB, edit EPUB metadata and edit custom configuration. Publishing directly implies that the file picker is not displayed. Instead the document will be exported to the same directory as the currently open document and with the same name. The EPUB buttons are only visible in Writer, the other buttons are also visible in Calc. This feature bypasses the filter logic, which gives a significant performance gain for large documents.
  • Filter: Refactored filter code, the actual conversion has been separated from the XExportFilter implementation

New in Writer2LaTeX 1.3.2 Alpha (Sep 22, 2014)

  • [w2l] Two or more span elements in a row which generates identical formatting in LaTeX are now merged.
  • This avoids constructs like \textbf{this is }\textbf{bold}.
  • [w2l] Optimization: The SimpleDomBuilder now merges text nodes
  • [w2l] Replace usage of StringBuffer with StringBuilder everywhere (marginal optimization)
  • [w2l] The standard configurations pdfprint.xml and pdfscreen.xml no longer requires ooomath.sty
  • [w2l] A bookmark in a heading no longer results in an optional argument to \section commands
  • [w2l] New option display_hidden_text (default false) to toggle whether or not hidden text should be included in the export. In the export filter, this option can be toggled in the export options dialog.
  • [w2l] Bugfix (StarMath conversion): The five colors red, green, blue, magenta and yellow is now exported to the correct dark colors rather than the previous bright colors (the colors white, black and yellow are unchanged)
  • [w2x] If a border has a width which is equivalent to less that 1px, it is now exported with the width 1px.
  • This fixes an issue with some browsers, that would render the border invisible.
  • [w2x] Two or more span elements in a row with identical attributes are now merged
  • [all] Filters: Appended [Writer2LaTeX] or [Writer2xhtml] to all filter UI names to make them more visible
  • [w2l] Bugfix: Avoid null pointer exception caused by list styles in some cases

  • [all] If an image image cannot be converted to an acceptable format, the optional alternative image will now be tried
  • [all] Bugfix: Avoid null pointer exception if a table has no defined table width
  • [w2l] Bugfix (StarMath conversion): Protect the character [ after \\ in gather and matrix environments
  • [w2l] Bugfix: Protect the character [ after \\ in tables
  • [w2l] Bugfix (StarMath conversion): Usage of \multiscripts and \mathoverstrike now loads the required calc.sty
  • [w2l] Bugfix (StarMath conversion): Do not create display equations in table cells
  • [w2l] Bugfix (StarMath conversion): Set the counter MaxMatrixCols if there are matrices with more than 10 columns
  • [w2l] Bugfix (StarMath conversion): Add braces if the argument to a command is a space, e.g. \text{ }
  • [all] Refactored and optimized memory usage of image conversion
  • [all] Refactored and rearranged some code; in particular the last remaining bits of the old xmerge framework has been removed
  • [all] Optimized reading of package format: The settings.xml files are not parsed and the unused parts of the ZIP file are disposed

New in Writer2LaTeX 1.3.1 Alpha (Aug 25, 2014)

  • [w2x] Starting with version 4.2, LibreOffice exports display="math" on display equations. This attribute is now removed if a display equation is used inline in the source document.
  • [w2x] Support for the obsolete output format XHTML+MahtML+XSL has been removed (replaced by MathJax). As a consequence the option xslt_path has been removed. Also the vacant spot in the export dialog is now used for the option use_mathjax (only active for XHTML+MathML and HTML5)

  • [w2x] New boolean option use_mathjax (default false): If set to true and export format is XHTML+MATHML or HTML5, documents will load the MathJax JavaScript library for rendering of formulas (otherwise the document will rely on native MathML support in the browser)
  • [w2x] New boolean option use_svg (default false): If set to true and export format is HTML5, vector graphics are exported as inline SVG, if possible
  • [w2x] Added support for HTML5 as export type (the ConverterFactory understands the pseudo-MIME type text/html5). The converter creates polyglot HTML5 documents, i.e. documents will be conforming to HTML5 as well as XML standards.
  • [all] Optimized the parsing of the source document saving some time and space (several intermediate steps and large byte arrays are now avoided)
  • [all] API change: The converters can now convert directly from a DOM tree
  • [all] Removed unused code in writer2latex.xmerge
  • [w2x] Moved localized strings to .properties files
