How does one implement this in Windows? Is this related to a "lyxpipe"?
Yes. The process is described in chapter 4 of the Help> Additional
Features.
Hi. Thanks for the reply. I looked at the Additional Features, Section 4.2, 4.2
Starting the LyX Server. I am confused by whether in the path, in my case
something like
C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\lyx16\lyxpipe
the final "lyxpipe" reference is to a folder or a file?
I created an empty folder
C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\lyx16\lyxpipe
and defined the path as
C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\lyx16\lyxpipe
You don't need (or want) to create the folder. LyX wants to create two
files: lyxpipe.in and lyxpipe.out. What you're telling LyX is the full
pathname, minus the extensions.
Still....
but when I ran LyX received the debug messages:
Setting debug level to 0
LyXComm: Could not create pipe C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application
Data\lyx16\lyxpipe.in
LyXComm: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
LyXComm: Closing connection
I then tried naming the path as
C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\lyx16\lyxpipe\lyxpipe
but the error was
Setting debug level to 0
LyXComm: Could not create pipe C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application
Data\lyx16\lyxpipe\lyxpipe.in
LyXComm: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
LyXComm: Closing connection
that shouldn't have prevented the creation of the pipes. As Pavel
suggested, try using something with no space. Maybe just c:\lyxpipe
