Hi Xu, Thank you for your appreciation. I cannot advance anymore without any help from Lyx gurus. I think I have extracted all the information I can from the help docs. If I get any answer to my questions, I can construct a little bit smarter module but the one we have now is already usable. With some supplementary tricks from the sagetex documentation and through manual executions of the latex-sage-latex chain, it is possible to make a lot of computations.
I was also very agreeably surprised that this module can be used for
conversion to HTML from LyX, with figures and all.
I attach to this message the module in its actual stage and some
instruction for making the conversion chain functional. I hope this would
already help some of you.
As soon as I have more information, I will try to complete the module file.
Best regards,
Murat

The Sage module allows the use of the open source Sage mathematical platform for computations in Lyx (with results inserted in the final PDF file), in a somewhat similar way for R-project with the Sweave module. To be able to use it, you must have Sage installed on your computer and the "sage" command must be in the path. See : http://www.sagemath.org/ Sage speaks Latex and can interact with it through the sagetex.sty package. See: http://www.sagemath.org/doc/tutorial/sagetex.html#sec-sagetex INSTALLATION 0/ You must have a working Sage system on your computer and the sage command must be on the PATH (open a console and type sage and RETURN key to check it this is the case). 1/Add the sage.module in the layouts folder of your local LyX configuration (depends on the system). Start LyX and reconfigure it. You can now add the Sage module to a new document. This module provides - the environments: sageblock and sagesilent - the commands: \sage (to be used in-line) and \sageplot (as an environment, can be included in a Figure float) and it needs the sagetex.sty package to be available in your local Tex installation. Justfollow the instructions given in the documentation of this package, for example 2/ Add the following sections elements in the preferences file that lives in your personal lyx config folder (depends on the system) # FORMATS SECTION ########################## # \format "pdf10" "pdf" "PDF" "" "\"/Applications/_Editiontextes/Skim.app/Contents/MacOS/Skim\"" "" "document,vector,menu=export" \format "sage" "sage" "Sage" "" "" "" "document" \default_view_format pdf10 # # CONVERTERS SECTION ########################## # \converter "latex" "sage" "latex" "latex" \converter "sage" "pdf10" "compile-pdf-sage.sh $$b" "" 3/ You need a bash file for automatically running the .sage file and get the results in the final pdf file This compile-pdf-sage.sh should be on your path, with the following content: #!/bin/sh /Applications/_Recherche/Sage-4.7-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/sage/sage $1.sage pdflatex $1.tex exit 0 Otherwise, You can just convert your Lyx document to Sage and then go to the temporary folder and execute manually (pdf)latex mysagedoc.tex -> generates mysagedoc.sage sage mysagedoc.sage (pdf)latex mysagedoc.tex Remaining problems and questions: 1/ How to setup options for environments? Example: \sageplot[width=12cm]{plot(sin(x), 0, pi), axes=True} -> Bug fix by Richard 2/ How to insert Flex insets in math mode, in displayed equations? $\dfrac{\partial^{4}y}{\partial x^{4}}=\sage{integral(x/(x^2+1),x,0,1)}$ x^2 must not be interpreted by LyX in the second part of the equality, since Sage will need it for its computation. 3/ \sage{} does not automatically switch to the math mode. These insets must be inserted between two $ sign put in ERT boxes. Then, the problem remains for the displayed equations where one would like to include Sage results.
