Version 2.24.0 Released

You are here

This new version of XLingPaper has a number of improvements and bug fixes.

The main highlights are:

  • Allow a tablenumbered element to contain an image file (which, presumably, will be of a table).
  • Add ability to have a book contain a collection of papers (each paper as a chapter). See section 17 “Chapters in a Collection Volume” in the user documentation.
  • Add hangingIndent element as a kind of paragraph. See section 16 “Hanging Indent Paragraph” in the user documentation.
  • Add ability to override the publisher style sheet override for langData, gloss, and free elements. This is for the rare cases where the publisher style sheet override is incorrect in a particular case.

You can obtain an installation program for Windows, Mac or Linux at http://www.xlingpaper.org/?page_id=51.

If you have already installed XLingPaper version 2.10.0 or higher and merely want to upgrade, then you will need to download and install the XLingPaper update file. See http://www.xlingpaper.org/?page_id=107. If you have modified any of the stock publisher style sheets, please be sure to make a backup of your work before running this installer. It may overwrite your modifications.

With this new version of XLingPaper, you should also download and install the XeLaTeX Update (see http://www.xlingpaper.org/?page_id=4#XeLaTeXUpgrade). This update is required before you can produce the default PDF if you need to have footnotes be double spaced.

The recent changes are:

  • 2.24.0 17 September 2013
    • Add SIL-UND Thesis style sheet to canned set of publisher style sheets.
    • Allow a tablenumbered element to contain an image file (which, presumably, will be of a table).
    • Add ability to have a book contain a collection of papers (each paper as a chapter).
    • Add hangingIndent element as a kind of paragraph. See section 16 “Hanging Indent Paragraph” in the user documentation.
    • Add ability to override the publisher style sheet override for langData, gloss, and free elements. This is for the rare cases where the publisher style sheet override is incorrect in a particular case.
    • Fix bug in converting gloss material to abbrRefs: if there were two or more delimiters before an embedded object, then only the first delimiter was kept.
    • Fix bug which would not show a sectionRef to a part. It also did not show parts correctly in the sectionRef chooser in XXE.
    • Fix bug in how section numbers show in XXE in a multi-part book (only a problem for XXE version 5.3).
    • Fix bug in how gloss elements shown in XXE when in a listWord or word element (used prose form instead of example form).
    • For the default way of producing PDF (via XeLaTeX):
      • Fix a bug which caused the PDF to fail to be produced when an indexedItem was the first thing in a dt element.
      • Fix bug which failed to render footnotes doublespaced (or space-and-a-half) when the style sheet said to.
      • Fix bug which caused the PDF to fail to be produced when an abbrRef element was part of a section title.
      • Fix bug which once in a while caused the PDF to fail to be produced on Windows systems when langData was in a paragraph and non-English hyphenation of the paper was in effect.
      • Fix bug which could cause a footnote text to not appear at the bottom of a page when there was an interlinearSource element within a listInterlinear.
      • Fix bug which caused the PDF not to be produced when using automatically wrapped interlinears and there was an interlinear in a table.
      • Fix bug which caused the PDF not to be produced when using a dl (definition list) in a chart in a figure with a caption.
      • Add a new attribute to the dl element: when showddOnNewLineInPDF is set to ‘yes’, then each dd after a dt will start on a new line.
      • Fix bug: when there was a ul (unordered list) in an endnote in an example, the list would start overlapping on top of the last line of the preceding paragraph and would also have it’s last line overlap on top of the first line of a following paragraph.
    • When using a style sheet, for the RenderX way of producing PDF, Word output, and Open Office output, fix a bug when using author contact info which did not show the author contact info (RenderX way of producing) or produced a blank result (Word and Open Office output).
    • Overtly state in the user documentation that it is a known issue that morpheme-aligned interlinears will not render correctly in the RenderX PDF, Word and Open Office output formats.
    • When a document is using the content control mechanism (see section 15 “Content Control” in the user documentation), you can now control whether all possible content shows in the editor or just the currently selected content.
    • Make all new file templates have the small caps type element use font-family=”Charis SIL Small Caps” instead of font-variant=”small-caps”.
