* LaTeX: improved i18n support and documentation
- Added a new layer config variable `latex-build-engine`, a thin wrapper of
`TeX-engine`:
- For better support of non-european character set rendering, `xetex` is
chosen when it's found on PATH, and when eithe `chinese` or `japanese`
layer is enabled
- Added a new layer config variable `latex-enable-preview`:
- When non-nil, `auto-revert-mode` is added to `doc-view-mode-hook`
- Previously this is described in documentation but requires users to set it
manually
- Documentation:
- Added a section that lists are layer config variables
- Improved all documentation examples, s.t. they are valid elisp forms to be
evaluated directly
- Improved the section on backend:
- Emphsized that LSP layer is always preferred
- Provided information on installing the language server
- Added the default value for layer config variable, `latex-nofil-env`
* minor edits
- Updated CHANGELOG.develop
- Renamed `latex-enable-preview` to `latex-refresh-preview`
- Replaced a fuzzy intra-link in documentation with a proper link

This reverts commit 29c78ce841 and all other fixes
that have been made afterwards.
The motivation is that use-package is seen by many as a replacement for
`require`. Is use-package always defer the loading of packages then is breaks
this use case, this does not respect POLA so even if it was making Spacemacs
loading faster (up to 3s faster on some startup on my machine) we just cannot
use it, it would be irresponsible. Spacemacs should be easy to use, loading
performance will come with time but it is not a priority.
Had to create dummy init functions at some places since the owner of a package
is the last layer that defines the init function of a package. And a package
can be installed only if it has an owner.
This replaces the older pattern
:toggle (configuration-layer/package-usedp ..)
This implementation ensures that :disabled-for honors dependent packages, i.e.
if package a depends on package b, which is owned by layer c, and layer c is
disabled for layer d, then neither package a nor b will be configured for layer
d. Previously, this was only true for package a, but not b.
This commit also fixes:
- configuration-layer/describe-package now shows which post-init and pre-init
functions are disabled, if any
- Does not recreate all layer objects unconditionally when calling
configuration-layer/discover-layers. Previously, this led to all layers being
recreated after e.g. `SPC h SPC`, without any of the dotfile information.
Since this information is now necessary for
configuration-layer/describe-package, it’s important that we don’t clear the
indexed layers when invoking this function.
spacemacs/add-flycheck-hook was not really hooking anything, change the name
to better reflect what it does.
Also changed the push for a add-to-list to avoid duplicates.
Enabling a company backend for a specific mode was a tedious tasks with code
scattered at different locations, one for local variable definitions, one for
company hook function definitions and another where the backends were pushed to
the local variables (which was problematic, since we ended up pushing the same
backends over and over again with `SPC f e R`, pushes have been replaced by
add-to-list calls in the new macro).
All these steps are now put together at one place with the new macro
spacemacs|add-company-backends, check its docstring for more info on its
arguments.
This macro also allows to define arbitrary buffer local variables to tune
company for specific modes (similar to layer variables via a keyword :variables)
The code related to company backends management has been moved to the
auto-completion layer in the funcs.el file. A nice side effect of this move is
that it enforces correct encapsulation of company backends related code. We can
now easily detect if there is some configuration leakage when the
auto-completion layer is not used. But we loose macro expansion at file loading
time (not sue it is a big concern though).
The function spacemacs|enable-auto-complete was never used so it has been
deleted which led to the deletion of the now empty file core-auto-completion.el.
The example in LAYERS.org regarding auto-completion is now out of date and has
been deleted. An example to setup auto-completion is provided in the README.org
file of the auto-completion layer.
- Add option to disable by default
- Use local-vars hook to allow per-project enable/disable
- Don’t enable helm-gtags-mode (no need)
- Move emacs bindings from helm-gtags-mode-map to ggtags-mode-map
Add the latex-enable-folding variable which turns on TeX-fold-mode and
adds some related bindings.
Reorganize the layer:
1. Move reftex into packages.el and delete the extensions file.
2. Don't duplicate the binding of keys. Use a loop to bind in tex-mode
and latex-mode. Then just add the additional latex-mode bindings
TeX-PDF-mode and TeX-source-correlate-mode are minor modes with the
usual functions. They should be enabled using the functions and not by
setting the variables as their docstrings both state.
