Just a question: What's the status of elyxer in your installer ?
I think you had planned to bundle elyxer in the installer the same way
you do for imagemagick and other stuff.
Yes this was the plan. After discussions with the other LyX developers
the new plan is to include it only to the complete installer and to let
people choose if they want to install eLyXer or not.
I tried to do implement this in the installer, but haven't found the
time right now. Therefore I decided to release the installer for 1.6.3
now and to work on eLyXer the next days. So you can expect another
installer release the next days that comes with eLyXer.
But even now, LyX will recognize eLyXer when you have it installed. All
you have to do is to add the path to the file elyxer.py in the PATH
prefix in LyX's preferences. Then reconfigure LyX and eLyXer should
work. Could you please try this out? A feed back from you if this works
would help me.
Well, after doing this, exporting to HTML results only in elyxer.py
being opened in my text editor, LyX window being "white" until I close
the editor (closing the file is not enough). And no HTML has been
produced, as far as I can see.
I do not have python installed and do not want to (well, there are some
python.exe with LyX and Inkscape), so the only action defined for .py
files is "open", which is with my text editor (PSPAD).
Same effect with elyxer 0.23 or 0.24.
It seems that the problem is that lyx tries to launch elyxer.py directly
instead of calling the local python interpreter. But then, if I add
python before elyxer.py in the command for LyX->HTML, python fails to
find elyxer.py (even if I copy it in the scripts or bin folders).
Any idea ?
While trying that...
... I also notice a strange behaviour with reconfigure changing the
path: I need to do it twice (including exiting/reopening) to have
changes taken into account.
For example, after changing the path to include elyxer, reconfiguring,
exiting LyX, then reopening it, htlatex is still used. I need to
reconfigure a second time, exit, repoen and then it works (well, see
above what I call works).
The same if done the other way: I remove elyxer from the path,
reconfigure, exit, reopen and lyx complains of not finding elyxer. I
then reconfigure again, exit, reopen and it works.
If I reconfigure twice, exit and reopen, it does not work.
If I reconfigure, exit, open, exit, open, it does not work.

Olivier
