Hi everyone. I discovered LyX about 2 months ago, and I love it. I'm
writing my dissertation with it now, and it's wonderful.
I would like to suggest a modification, however. At the moment, Lyx
requires a display even for export to LaTeX. This means that if I am
connected over a slow link I can't export another version of my document
for download or emailing, which is a minor annoyance. In particular, I
have a script that exports a version of the document to many
formats (dvi, html, ps, pdf, txt), and I would like to put this on a
nightly cron job, so my current draft will be avialable to the faculty at
all times, in a variety of formats. But the display requirement means I
can't export the initial .tex file that I need for the script unless I am
actually logged in. (running on Linux, heavily-modified RH 6.0)
If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know. Otherwise, this is simply
a request. A polite one, I hope. I find LyX extrmemely useful, and very
well-designed. Many thanks to all responsible.
