Hello, A little shell script to translate lyx documents to pdf has come into being! Maybe someone can make use of it or someone is in the mood to integrate some parts of it in the LyX code. A PDF-export function would be nice ... Thanks to Herbert Voss and Matej Cepl for telling me how the translation works. And ... feel free to improve it! :-) Cheers Steffen PS: I am only on the user list.
