willing to be the guinea pig ... What do you think?


No problem with the role of guinea pig (the German Versuchskaninchen) with
the perspective of becoming a truffle pig and having eLyXer running
correctly on Mac-OSX 10.4.

But it seems rather impossible because of the python25 problem, as far
as I see.

Thank you for elyxer.

Running OS X 10.4.11 Tiger PPC with a Fink installed Python 2.5.2 in

I dropped a copy of elyxer into /usr/local/bin with the appropriate

I tried to process ~60 page document, book class, dozens of PNG
floating graphics, TOC, List of Figures, cross references. It's a
pretty generic technical document.

Lots of errors like this:

Hi Alex,

I believe there are free hosting facilities for git repositories, or you

ask on the developers list...


Btw, you may want more than just the repository, if people start giving

If that helps the minimum python version required by lyx is python-2.3.4 (if 
you are wondering about why the last 4 that is related with some unicode fixes 
there were only applied at that sub-version).

I presume that the images have spaces in the path? -- the next version
should correct this problem.

This is an unknown command (to eLyXer). I will modify the error
description to make it more specific.

TOC is not supported yet. Could you please send me (privately) a copy
of your document, or at least the complete list of errors? In case
there is any problem: remove any sensitive material, I promise to keep
it confidential. Let's try to make it work.

It sure does help. I will try to make eLyXer compatible with at least 2.3.5.

Re: Introducing eLyXer: LyX to HTML converter

Hi folks,

A new version of eLyXer is online:
  http://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/ELyXer
Direct downloads:
  http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Tools/eLyXer/elyxer-0.5.tar.gz
  http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Tools/eLyXer/elyxer-0.5.zip

Richard Talley: image filenames with spaces should now be working.
Nested lists are supported.
Nikos Alexandris: Section*s are working. Images are harder than I
thought ;) only scaling is working. To avoid the copyright notice just
run:
  $ elyxer --nocopy source.lyx destination.html
Joachim Osnabryg: mostly running under Python 2.3.5, may need some further work.

Thanks,

Alex.

Hi Alex,

I believe there are free hosting facilities for git repositories, or you 
can surely get an account within the LyX repository (Subversion at the 
moment). Just google for free git repository, or something like that. Or 
ask on the developers list...


Btw, you may want more than just the repository, if people start giving 
you bug reports etc.

Dear LyX users,

LyX is a wonderful editor; its PDF output is perhaps unmatched by
other graphical editors. But the most common interchange method of
today is HTML, and LyX does not produce good HTML. There are some
tools for TeX - HTML conversion, and even LyX - HTML, but the
results tend to be poor and rigid.

So undeterred by the myriad of similar efforts I set to the task of
producing a simple, specialized tool for LyX - HTML conversion, and
the result is eLyXer. It is meant to produce acceptable-to-beautiful
HTML code, depending on your browser's Unicode and CSS rendering
merits. To use it just type at the prompt:
  $ elyxer document.lyx document.html
This command takes a LyX document called (surprisingly) document.lyx,
and produces (just as surprisingly) a web page called document.html.
Ta-dah! The conversion is complete. For better results you may need to
copy the file docs/lyx.css to your working directory, and perhaps
customize it a bit. See this wiki page for details:
  http://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/ELyXer
and be sure to read the user guide included in the package.

A pretty example can be seen at
 http://vecinos-productions.com/rayleigh/book.html


Is there a problem with the bibliography export ? It looks like the 
above example contains many more entries in the bibliography that there 
are references in the text, most having not numbers between the brackets.

Hi Olivier,

 That looks like a very nice tool. The HTML code is indeed good-looking!

Thanks a lot! In time I hope it will be useful to other users. It is
the least I can do after having used LyX for several years so
satisfactorily.

 Is there a problem with the bibliography export ? It looks like the above
 example contains many more entries in the bibliography that there are
 references in the text, most having not numbers between the brackets.

No problem at all, just that my sample document contained both
referenced and unreferenced bibliography entries. In other words: I
cut most of the text but left the bibliography entries.

 PS: I noticed you use
 #!/usr/bin/python
 while the python scripts of LyX use
 #! /usr/bin/env python

 I'm not sure, but the later my be more 'universal' (tolerant/portable)

Changed now. I will release a new version later on today with the latter line :D

Thanks,

Alex.

OK,

it started producing html's for me :D

Notes (which you probably already know):
# using the KOMA-Script article class

1. All footnotes appear as normal text exactly there where they are
inserted in LyX' document and therefore cannot be distinguished from the
text-body.

2.  The section titles defined as Section* environments are ignored
and appear as normal text

3. The lstparams (parameters for the listings package) appear also in

4. Indentation of the LyX-Code environment is ignored

5. Pictures are used without the scaling that is defined within LyX
(well... I don't know how hard this would be to implement).

6. I would like to be able to control the Copyright (C) 2009 by...

and be sure to read the user guide included in the package.

A pretty example can be seen at
 http://vecinos-productions.com/rayleigh/book.html


Is there a problem with the bibliography export ? It looks like the 
above example contains many more entries in the bibliography that there 
are references in the text, most having not numbers between the brackets.


Best regards,

Olivier

PS: I noticed you use
#!/usr/bin/python
while the python scripts of LyX use
#! /usr/bin/env python

I'm not sure, but the later my be more 'universal' (tolerant/portable)

Hi Olivier,

Thanks a lot! In time I hope it will be useful to other users. It is
the least I can do after having used LyX for several years so
satisfactorily.

No problem at all, just that my sample document contained both
referenced and unreferenced bibliography entries. In other words: I
cut most of the text but left the bibliography entries.

Changed now. I will release a new version later on today with the latter line :D

Thanks,

Alex.

Sure. If you find an example of invalid XHTML please notify me.
Quoting from the user guide:
  "The HTML code generated is technically XHTML Transitional, version
1.0, using UTF-8 encoding. It passes the W3C tests [w3c-validator]. If
your particular web page doesn't pass the tests, then it is a bug and
it will be treated as such."

Right now, and with the kind help of Nikos Alexandris, I have added
basic support for footnotes: they appear as floating boxes on the
right, although not numbered. You will find them in the next release,
probably sometime this afternoon.

> Just to make you know my wish,

Great! If there is any other missing feature be sure to tell me. You
can send document samples privately and I will do my best.

Alex,

thanks a million :-).

Just as a side-note: I don't know how you manage your source code
locally. I want only to mention that git is an excellent tool. It's
something more than a tool actually. And it's not that difficult to
start working with it. There are very nice and clean tutorials.

I use git locally for my LyX documents :-). Afterall, LyX files are like
source code :-). No need to save with multiple names and get lost with
tens of files. I have to thank a friend of mine who pointed out to the
use of git.

Cheers, Nikos

OK,

it started producing html's for me :D

Notes (which you probably already know):
# using the KOMA-Script article class

1. All footnotes appear as normal text exactly there where they are
inserted in LyX' document and therefore cannot be distinguished from the
text-body.

2.  The section titles defined as "Section*" environments are ignored
and appear as normal text

3. The lstparams (parameters for the listings package) appear also in
the text.

4. Indentation of the LyX-Code environment is ignored

5. Pictures are used without the scaling that is defined within LyX
(well... I don't know how hard this would be to implement).

6. I would like to be able to control the "Copyright (C) 2009 by..."
message if possible, i.e. to be able to switch it off.

As to the first point you may try to copy the docs/lyx.css file to
your html directory. It will improve significantly.

The rest will have to wait for the 0.5 (20090313) version :D

Actually it doesn't looks too difficult.

It seems that your Python is not understanding the decorator syntax
for classmethods, which were introduced in Python 2.4:
  http://pyref.infogami.com/classmethod
The following command would verify that this is indeed the problem:
  $ python --version

> Might be because of Mac-OSX (as you "haven’t tested it on Mac OS X")???

You are right:
> MacBook Pro OSX 10.4.11 Tiger

It would appear that Tiger comes with a Python 2.3 version. It is easy
to upgrade to a more current version:
  http://www.python.org/download/mac/
I would commit to make eLyXer work with Tiger, but only if you are
willing to be the guinea pig -- I don't have a Python 2.3 installation
and don't have the resources to create one. What do you think?

Re: Introducing eLyXer: LyX to HTML converter

Hi Nikos,

 first of all thank you for your efforts. All sounds very promising. I
 just ran eLyXer (under Ubuntu II/ 64-bit) a couple of times. Your
 example-files userguide.lyx and devguide.lyx are translated without
 errors.

Good to know! Thanks for trying it out, you are indeed a brave soul.

 Unfortunately, by testing on my own documents I receive only errors.
 Some examples (of output) below. Let me know if you need full-preamble
 and/or other details.

Right, it's a bug in the parsing tree. Now corrected to accept generic
insets. Could you please try again? Same download link:
  http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Tools/eLyXer/elyxer-20090311.tar.gz

I would like to try a newer version; I am right now compiling LyX
1.6.2rc2 but it is going to take a while. Could you send me privately
a sample document, even if it is a large one? It is probably the
fastest way to diagnose any remaining problems.

Thanks,

Alex.

Alex, the simple article with Title, a Section and some text lines is

first of all thank you for your efforts. All sounds very promising. I
just ran eLyXer (under Ubuntu II/ 64-bit) a couple of times. Your
example-files userguide.lyx and devguide.lyx are translated without
errors.

Unfortunately, by testing on my own documents I receive only errors.
Some examples (of output) below. Let me know if you need full-preamble
and/or other details.

Kindest regards, Nikos
