I have used latex2html in the past: http://www.latex2html.org/ http://www.maths.mq.edu.au/~ross/#LaTeX2HTML I would export from lyx to latex, I had to apply the following patch, something about the IfFileExists was not liked when I used it. ====begin patch @@ -6,4 +6,3 @@ \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} -\IfFileExists{url.sty}{\usepackage{url}} - {\newcommand{\url}{\texttt}} +\usepackage{url} ====end patch #you have to do some latex to get the cross-references built latex filename.tex #then convert to html. I liked the following command line: latex2html -local_icons -split 5 -link 2 filename.tex My conversions where five documents on the order of 30 to 40 pages each but it seemed simple once I had setup a Makefile to take care of the patching(which you may not need), calling latex, and calling latex2html (it took me a little while to find the combination of latex2html options I liked). It should be possible to pass command line options so you can even have the lyx to LaTeX conversion done by the Makefile so you don't have to do any GUI stuff ... I just never did that myself. ...... Another tool I have seen used is texi2html for the CVS manual https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.19/cvs.html https://texi2html.cvshome.org/ however the manual is in tex info format I think...not really sure what the diff is between that and TeX. -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter
