Nice website. I didn't know about it. There is actually an option to 
export as svg and LyX supports the import of Inkscape/svg files via


Insert > File > External Materian ... > Inkscape figure

which in turn typesets the text of the svg via LaTeX. That might be a 
need option as well.


Best,
Daniel

I would recommend use diagrams.net.  You can use latex or asciimath.
Export as pdf.

First, to insert "raw" LaTeX into a LyX document, use Insert > TeX Code, 
the default shortcut for which is Ctrl+L.


As for drawing diagrams, if you want to use Xy-Pic, there is a manual on 
how to do that in LyX (Help > Specific Manuals > XY-Pic. Other 
possibilities (doubtless among many) are to use the pstricks or tikz 
LaTeX packages. Each comes with its own learning curve. I have directly

I am trying to use Lyx to document some math and electronics and I need to
place a block diagram into my document.  I can draw the diagram in a
separate program and insert the jpg into Lyx, but what I'd rather do is
draw it directly in Lyx and be able to place Greek characters in each box.

Use some image format that does not need to be converted.

Probably it is being converted to some other format in this case.

How to set image resolution in LyXHTML export?

[Mark van Rossum]

Hi

I export my LyX file with PDF images to LyXHTML.
However, the resolution is too low.

How can I change it?


In exports to other formats, the resolution is good.

Re: [lyx-announce] LyX 2.3.6.2 Update for OSX Only

A change in LyX 2.3.6.1 broke the use of SyncTeX with OSX (bug #12063).
This was due to inconsistencies in our underlying Qt libraries. Thus, a
new version fixing that problem has been released. Please see our
download page

https://www.lyx.org/Download

for links to the new binaries.
