• 1.2.4 (2013-03-10):
  • Implemented generic converters, and lyx -C as an image converter (thanks, Tommaso!).
  • Implemented command \today: Mar 18, 2013.
  • Added a Russian translation (thanks, Vladimir!).
  • Solved a bug when parsing a BibTeX entry with a trailing comma (thanks, Bob!).
  • BibTeX: correctly use booktitle instead of journal in an @inproceedings entry (thanks, Pascal!).
  • Expose language information as additional markup (using the lang attribute in HTML).
  • Fix by Guenter Milde for math2html under Python 3.0.
  • Convert em-dash only when surrounded by spaces (thanks, Robert).

  • Changed the license for math2html from Apache v2 to FreeBSD 2-clause license, to better suit integration with DocUtils.
  • Removed a false positive error which appeared during the tests: “* No title in”.
  • Added most commands in Günter Milde’s excellent list of Unicode to LaTeX commands, except categories mathaccent, mathfence, mathradical, mathover and mathunder. Examples: \hash as  ⋕ , \smalltriangleleft as ◃.
  • Deprecated option --jsmath, users are encouraged to use --mathjax instead.
  • Added argument --mathjax remote to access the MathJax CDN instead of hit a local copy. Changed the Math showcase to work remotely by default.
  • Solved Debian bug 639712: eLyXer didn’t accept Unicode characters in --title option, added test.
  • Solved Savannah bug 33961: eLyXer didn’t support sub- or superscript insets as used in LyX 2.0, added test.
  • Solved installation problem when $PATH contains a directory which does not exist; the eLyXer binary was created with the same name as said directory. Now install.py should just ignore the directory. (Thanks, Jack!)
• 1.2.2 (2011-06-12):
  • Bug in description: when a (non-empty) ERT is the first element of a description, use it as first word and make it bold.
  • Proper support for \scriptstyle and \scriptscriptstyle: script, scriptscript.
  • Bug #33156: CSS specification as in --css=lyx.css was not working, solved now.
  • Support for \noindent and \centering in ERTs.
  • Ignore BibTeX entries which are not publication entries. Show a debug message for non-referenced entries.
  • Understand command \& in BibTeX files.

• 1.2.1 (2011-03-07):
  • Wish list: support for formatted references (showing the part name and number) and named references (showing the part title, equivalent to \nameref).
  • Wish list: include part titles in --splitpart navigation header.
  • Changed literal for previous page in --splitpart: now it’s “Prev” instead of “Previous”.

  • Allow math2html to be invoked using parameters (like --debug).
  • Bugs in ERT parsing: brackets {} are not parsed correctly across different ERTs. The TeX parser was being thrown off by escaped brackets as in {\{\}}, added test. Comments are ignored now.
  • Solved conflict in CSS between .script (used to properly layout super- and subscripts) and span.script (used for the script-type \mathscr and \mathcal fonts). Changed the latter to span.scriptfont, forcing an incompatible but unavoidable change in the CSS.

  • Create and use big brackets for fractions and other structures, if needed.
  • Added option --simplemath to avoid fancy math structures: do not generate multi-line Unicode brackets or stacked limits.

  • Bug in --notoclabels: labels such as “Figure” should be omitted in the TOC, but not in captions (thanks again, Axel!).
  • Bug in --splitpart: empty navigation links caused the header to look unbalanced, fixed now with a non-breaking space. Also, up link in the main page used to point to itself; now it’s an empty link (more thanks, Axel!).

  • Display math cases, full-sized binomials (\dbinom) and array brackets using Unicode bracket pieces.
  • Change all table-type elements in formulas to spans and do the formatting in the CSS, to generate valid XHTML.

  • BibTex: added a tag <span class="bibcites"> around all bibliographical cites, so they can be e.g. superscripted.
  • Show footnotes as hovering text instead of as marginal notes. Make the default footnote marker a bluish superscript letter in brackets:  [A]  [A] like this.

  • Support for new text commands \textsf, \texttt, \textit, \textbf, \textsl, \textsc.
  • Properly parse all text commands \text…, including \textipa.
  • Support for \cfrac. Now regular \frac shows embedded formulas smaller.

  • eLyXer was added to the Python Package Index (PyPI) starting with 0.30. Now it should be automatically registered for each release.
  • Updated documentation (user guide, README file) with details of distutils installation.
  • Modified single string Containers (StringContainer, Constant) so that they appear as empty Containers — should speed up postprocessing.
  • Solved bug when parsing BibTeX files with incorrect lines.
  • Modified postprocessing to correctly process lists within tables.
  • In the process refactored postprocessing completely: now instead of unconditional postprocessor stages, each stage can add a postprocessing hook. Should be faster — but is indeed a bit slower.
