Hi all,
I am wondering if one can export a .lyx document with notes/comments
included. This would be quite convenient for reviewing lyx-written
documents/papers, to make sure that non-lyx users can address these
comments. At first glance, there does not seem to be any comment
exporting function available...
With normal latex files, non-lyx users can still see the comments (%),
but Lyx does not include comments when exporting to tex. The nicest
feature would be to have the comments included in the text (smaller, in
italic, possibly even in some box), when exporting to pdf ;-).
Any solution for this?
Yes. Use comments, not notes. LyX has both, and the only difference (apart
from the different display on screen) is that notes do not get exported
to .tex, but comments do get exported (not with %, but in a comment
environment).
There is another difference which is quite important: I can navigate via
"Navigate" > "Next Note" to the next LyX note, which I can not do for
the comments. If this could be added, i.e. jumping to the next comment,
a Comment could function as a Note.
But I must agree that a possibility of printing the notes in a
transparent box on top of the text could be very useful.
If you want to make these comments visible in the pdf, just write something
like
\renewenvironment{comment}{\begingroup\small}{\endgroup}
to the preamble (untested).
