It has to do with the Document Settings dialog. As I view it, this
dialog is a graphical interface to the "preamble" part of a LaTeX
document. Certain packages are supported, such as the geometry and
hyperref packages. I would like to know if there is any consistent
thinking behind what packages are supported or not? Of course, the page
cannot support every existing LaTeX package, but there are certainly
some options I would like to see included, and others that I personally
would have restructured or removed.
Hi Pål,
A few remarks in addition to what others said:
First, we don't remove features in general, except if we have a very
clear plan for supporting old files. This is a very important part of
our philosophy and, yes, sometimes if is annoying.
Concernng features, we try to walk the fine line between supporting
popular LaTeX packages/constructs that LaTeX users know and offering
features to non-LaTeXies that feel reasonable without the LaTeX context.
For instance:
- The sectsty package
- The fancyhdr package (sort of supported already, but a better
interface would be nice)
I am not sure that an interface via document->settings is the best for
fancyhdr. Our current module based solution is not so bad and probably
more powerful in some respects than what settings can do.
