Thanks Alex for sharing this tool. The example page looks promising. On 2009-03-08, Pavel Sanda wrote: > Alex Fernandez wrote: >>perhaps as an embedded converter

I don't think so. While there are cases where pictures are the way to go, * You cannot copy and past from the pictures, * printing gives poor results as the pictures are bitmaps and most often the resolution is poor. * downloading one document will either result in many many files or missing equations. HTML + CSS is one alternative that will work better for many cases. (BTW: Tth is also using HTML + CSS.) Using the full range of Unicode Math characters will result in better looking formulae at the expense of missing out users without fonts with comprehensive math support. Also, MathML is more and more supported. So there is need for a MathML-emitting converter (a Python LaTeX-math to MathML converter is e.g. available in the Docutils Sandbox). >> Let me know what you think. > starting with publishing somewhere on web is perpahs the way to go now. > some advert can be put in our wiki, users mailing list etc. As it is a Python package, you could consider http://pypi.python.org/pypi for the publishing. The LyX Wiki has support for user-provided files as well, so you could upload a zipped archive along the description (but maybe a link to the git repository is sufficient if completed with a description how to download the stuff from there). For publicity, a page on the LyX Wiki is IMO the right way. Instead of embedding, the common approach for supported external tools can be taken: At the time the converter is * sufficiently complete and stable to be a viable alternative to the "established" ones not only for you * available for the public. the LyX configuration script should recognise it and add it to the list of export tools. Thanks and good luck, Günter
