What is InsetLayout for standard paragraph, or how to change its HTMLTag?
Hello list! LyXHTML outputs standard paragraphs with a ... (as is the standard for many insets), but i would much prefer I know i can change the tag of other insets by going in the local layout section of Document->Setting, and write something like InsetLayout Foot HTMLTag p End but i cant find anything about the standard paragraph. I don't mean the "sectioning" paragraph, that is mapped to "HTMLTag h5", but the piece of text you get after pressing RET in LyX. This archived mail https://lyx-users.lyx.narkive.com/yPesoVzz/simple-html-converter-export says I was unable to change which doesn't leave very hopeful. Is this doable, or is the "div" tag hardcoded? Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to answer. I'm on master2.4.0 branch, but the problem should be the exact same on 2.3.x. -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

I want for example to change the first line simply to to add and to include my style sheet: What changes should I make to the my .layout file? I haven't found this information I am looking for in the Customization manual. LyX has two (three?) ways of inserting custom stuff in the of a LyXHTML document, like for example CSS: 1. if you write your own layout file, or use the convenient "local layout" section in the document settings (so you don't have to bother with files), LyX will put in the all the relevant CSS. 2. you can put "AddToHTMLPreamble" in a local layout to have custom snippets added to the ; beware it will be put BEFORE any layout generated CSS, so anything hardcoded by the layout will override your custom rules; in this case you will have to edit the specific layout (a couple lines in the local layout, nothing daunting). This is documented in the "Customization" tutorial. 3(?). Some time ago I asked on lyx-devel for a "preamble tab" in document settings, but for LyXHTML instead of LaTeX. This would put everything inside it AFTER everything in the head so it would have the last words on everything. The patch I made is in https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/12061. I've been working around LyX quirks when it comes to adding custom stuff to LyXHTML for a long time, feel free to ask anything. You're speaking my language tush! It's been years since I looked at any kind of LyX HTML export, but if it's what you're saying now, I might revisit the situation. I think what you're asking for is best handled by a post-processor that modifies the exported well-formed XML HTML5. Easy and fast with a Python program that: * Replaces existing doctype with * Gets rid of that silly line. HTML specs say that the UTF-8 line belongs in the ". Like you said, the language line belongs in or whatever language you want. * Replaces the exporter's CSS stylesheet with your own. I don't think you want to mess with your LyX styles in your layout file because you WANT your PDF styles to look very different from your HTML styles. This is all accomplished with a very easy to write Python program that will postprocess the exported file in a half a second. If the exported file is *really* well formed XML, you can check it with my xmlchecker.py shown at http://troubleshooters.com/web/validating.htm#xmlchecker .

I am trying to remove the html attributes assigned by LyXHTML to the
Standard text inserted in the editor.
LyX's default is to render Standard as

Standard
together with
p.standard {
text-align: left;

appearing in the header.
What I want is to get the simple html code
This is text inserted in Standard

LatexType Paragraph
LatexName dummy
ParIndent MM
ParSkip 0.4

It's a paragraph layout: Standard. See stdclass.inc.
But yes, at the moment, that is hardcoded. The reason is that the tag
turns up inside other tags and nested 's are invalid. But it probably
should be made customizable.
RikiRemoval of this hardcoded stuff would require a bit of lyxhtml output
rewrite, which should be under way right now. Unfortunately, I think
it's just one dev working on it (Thibaut).
After a lot of trial and error, using the last line I eliminated the
"div class="standard"" from the p element but still LyX assigns to it
an id="some number" which I want to eliminate too.
Any idea about it would be very welcome.
If you're referring to the "magicparlabel", it's hardcoded. I was
thinking about making a patch to remove it, but LyX relies on this
"magic labels" to do a lot of the referencing (a quick glance at how the
TOC is done will give you an idea). I am not that knowlodgeable about
HTML referencing, so this will take some time.
Yeahh, this is one of the reasons I don't use LyX for ePub. Last
time I looked, LyX exports used the deprecated and now with HTML5
eliminated inside a div specially made to contain
one . What could *possibly* go wrong?
If I had to eliminate these redundant things, I'd do it
with a postprocessor that corrects LyX' complexifications. It's not
easy, but you can use Python with the "import xml.etree.ElementTree as
ET" library. You'd analyze every DOM element, and for every
whose only purpose is to encase one , get rid of the div after
reading metadata from that and any silliness, applying
the information to attributes of the itself.
Seriously, LyX has failed to export common sense XMLized HTML for 14
years now, and I doubt they ever will. Best you can hope for is to
either switch to another authoring program, or repair LyX' mistakes
post-export. I think trying to repair this stuff from within your LyX
document is walking the highway to heartache.
Also, the good thing about the XML-parsing Python post-processor
approach is that, as time goes on, you can fix any problems newly
discovered and/or newly added by LyX: You're in control as long as they
continue to export well-formed XML HTML, which of course isn't a
for-sure thing.

A solution of this kind could work well, but remove the thing that makes
LyX so convenient: one click compile and show. We really need a robust

Re: Installing LyX 2.3.6.1 on Linux MInt 20.3 with TeXLive 2021
--- Repost as i answered privately by mistake, so his gets archived --- Quick answers since im on mobile: a) it should, as it works with miktex and other distributions b) apt should recognize every package installed as deb package, so the easiest option is to look for a texlive 2021 in the BACKPORTS repository of your distro, in this case mint, where newer version of packages can be found if needed. If its not there you could manually install it from the esperimental repository, even from ubuntu. As long as its packaged properly apt should recognize it. I think lyx doesnt specify a version for texlive package required, so anything it finds i believe its good. c) absolutely: download the package without installing, edit the dependencies (extract it and extract the control folder, edit control file changing the dependencies section) repackage and install. d) yes if your distro distributes texlive 2019. You can circumvent this with b) and c). Apt makes 6+ packages live peacefully, it a small sacrifice to have slightly outdated software :) Let me know if anything was unclear Lorenzo Il ven 4 mar 2022, 00:07 Graeme via lyx-users ha scritto: > I've just done a clean install of Linux Mint 20.3, and then a full > install of TeXLive 2021, which cannot be done with the Mint's Synaptic > Package Manager.
