Richard, Paul
In response to Paul's latest message:
1. No, I can't produce pdf output in LyX 2.0.
2. "In each version of LyX, what do you see in the "Converter" and "Extra
flag" fields when you go to Tools > Preferences... > File Handling >
Converters and highlight "LaTeX (pdflatex) -> PDF (pdflatex)"?"
In 1.6.7 I see "pdflatex $$i" in Converter and "latex" in Extra Flag.
In 2.0.0 I see "pdflatex $$i" in Converter and "latex=pdflatex" in Extra
Flag.
3. "What do you see when you highlight "LaTeX (plain) -> DVI"?" (I assume
Paul means "LaTeX (plain) -> DraftDVI".)
In 1.6.7 I see "pplatex" in Converter and "latex" in Extra Flag.
In 2.0.0 I see "pplatex" in Converter and "latex" in Extra Flag.
