elyxer options for export to word?
It seems if I use elyxer for the purpose of export to 'word', only --html seems to produce something word (2007) will recognize. With defaults, word seems to show the xhtml structure instead of a formatted document. I also tried lyxHTML export to xhtml. This produced a file.xhtml, which word(2007) refused to open.

Re: Most suitable image format
Hi Sam, You can use the same version of the document, just place the print image in one branch and the web version in another. (Branches may be LyX's single most awesome, never heard-of feature.) When you want to compile for print, then activate that branch. When you want to compile for web, activate the other. Then you aren't having to maintain two copies of your document. Generally, I prefer jpeg for photographs. If your using Photoshop or GIMP, you can specify the amount of compression you want applied to the picture. PNG would also work, but it's my opinion that it doesn't preserve color quite as well. Cheers, Rob
Implementing a new environment in a LyX .layout
I am having some trouble understanding how to implement a new environment in an existing .layout file. The documentation covers the principle, but not the detail, especially about how to enable other environments (like lists) *inside* the one I am implementing, and how to get LyX to prompt for any arguments required in my environment. I have defined and tested the environment in LaTeX, and I then add to the .layout file: Style Foo LatexType Environment LatexName foo ParSep0.5 Font SizeSmall > Series Normal EndFont Preamble \newenvironment{foo} {\begin{quotation}\small\raggedright\noindent\ignorespaces} > {\par\end{quotation}} EndPreamble End When I open a .lyx file, the entry for a Foo is there in the menu, and I can add a few words and paragraphs and it correctly exports: \begin{foo} a few words and paragraphs\end{foo} All well so far. But an environment should be able to contain all kinds of other environment, like lists. If I try to add an itemized list between the two paragraphs above, the exported LaTeX shows that LyX has terminated the foo environment prematurely, inserted the list *outside* the environment, and then created a new instance of the foo environment to hold the second paragraph: > \begin{foo} > a few words\end{panel} > \begin{itemize} > \item blort\end{itemize} > \begin{panel} > and paragraphs\end{foo} How do I tell LyX that lists (for example; and much other stuff) is permitted inside a Foo environment? Is there a setting or switch that tells LyX to allow nested environments globally, or does it have to be done on an environment by environment basis? Bonus question: I will eventually want to extend the environment to add a box and shaded background, allowing the user to specify width and color in mandatory arguments to the Foo environment. Writing the LaTeX definition for the Preamble is easy; but how do I tell LyX that the environment has two arguments? I can see that an Inset affords the option to add tokens or values, but I can't see how to make one compulsory, so that it pops up the moment you add a Foo from the menu. Final plea: I have been unable to find a formal list of all the keywords for a .layout file, with their syntax and application. Does such a list exist yet? ///Peter

If it really is high resolution, even a PNG image format may give unacceptably slow loading over some internet connections. JPEG is usually smaller than PNG, so there is an argument for using it for online distribution. But in general PNG is a very good universal format. If the PNG file is still too big, reduce the image resolution for online distribution. -- Les Denham
Re: Most suitable image format
Sam, just use PNG for all purposes. It's compressed but lossless, and it's supported by LyX as well as all modern web browsers.

Re: Most suitable image format
Thanks for your quick reply. I intent to both print it and distribute it online. I guess two versions of the document might be useful. What lossy format, would you recommend for the latter?

Re: Most suitable image format
It actually depends on how you intend to use the resulting document. If you will be printing the resulting PDF on a professional press, then you will want to use a lossless format (most likely tiff), or a high quality jpeg. If the PDF is to be put on your website, you will probably want to use a lossy format of some type. It will give a better quality to file size ratio, even though it will introduce some artifacts into the image. But unless your readers will be viewing the image at very high resolution (onscreen), they are not going to notice. Hope that's of some help. Cheers, Rob
Most suitable image format
Hello, I have a lyx document in which I would like to insert a high-quality colour photography of me. The output document will be pdf. The photo is currently in RAW format (NEF) and I would like to find out what will the most suitable image format for converting the raw format into. I presume it will be some lossless format. Any suggestions? Many thanks! Cheers, Sam -- Sam Lewis
Converting Lyx file to MS word
Hello, I know this kind of weird question. My Lyx file has no mathematical equations (just plain text+ list of figures+ some algorithms). is there a way for converting my Lyx file to MS word? Thanks, ~Eisa

If you want to try writing the LaTeX macros, then my idea would be to use labels of the form: pro:theprop enu:1-pro:theprop enu:2-pro:theprop the point being that we can reconstruct the earlier label. I don't think LaTeX normally knows that you are inside some construct you've already labeled. Richard
