Hi folks, eLyXer is a LyX-to-HTML direct converter that can be used from within LyX. It came out of my own needs to publish both to PDF and HTML formats; LyX looked like a great fit for PDF but HTML export was rather poor. Thanks to the support of many LyX developers I published it for others to use; and unlike other similar tools it is actively maintained and getting better all the time.
You have probably not heard from eLyXer for a long time (or at all) unless you are subscribed to the lyx-devel list. Well, in this interval it has improved a lot, as you can see in the change log for 0.38 (just released): http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/changelog.html It translates correctly most documents, even those with symbols and equations, and produces acceptable output for most uses. The official LyX documentation (User Guide, Math Guide and Embedded Objects Guide) can be converted with minimal loss of format and content. The future roadmap has a lot of interesting milestones like splitting the output by chapters or sections, or full conversion of the LyX documentation. If you want to try it out and you are on Debian testing you have it easy: eLyXer is just an # apt-get install elyxer away. On Windows you can try the alternate installer, which has just been published recently for 1.6.5: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller It includes the latest version of eLyXer. On a different platform, or just to try out a particular version, just download it from the project download area: https://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=elyxer and follow the instructions on the user guide: http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/userguide.html#toc-Subsection-1.2 If you have a document which comes out all wrong please send it my way, either confidentially or lorem-ipsumized; I will do my best to make it work. Also send bug reports, feature requests and whatever crosses your mind. Thanks to you eLyXer is improving outside my (rather narrow) needs. Thanks, Alex Fernández.
