In many cases, I have found I need access to the TeX version of my LyX
documents for inclusion in e-mail (using latex2html) and other purposes,
so I have modified my version of LyX 1.04 to write a *.tex file every
time it writes the *.lyx file. (Patch attached.)
I know I can export it using the menu, but it is a pain to remember to
do that every time I modify the file. With the *.tex output, I can
auto-generate any format I need -- HTML, pdf, ASCII text, etc.
This is probably not something that should be done by default, but I am
posting this because it may be a useful patch for some other people.
I know there is some program that talks to LyX via pipes, and there is a
lyxexport script in that package, but it didn't work for me and seems
kind of a kludge. Maybe there should be a way from the command line to
dump a LyX file out in TeX format?
