latex paragraph export

1999-12-06 Thread John Wetterau
Lyx 1.1.3 is producing great PS output with indented paragraphs and no line skip between them. Pdflatex produces the same output in PDF format (indented paragraphs with no line skip). Latex2html, however, takes the same .tex file that was used by pdflatex and produces html code with no paragraph

Thanks indeed, all you developers. I am working on my second novel using LyX. I converted from Widows/Word to Linux, LateX, and LyX. What a joy to use. Every morning I start rewriting work from the day before, perfectly typeset. Review copies that I print at home look great. So far, only one edito

1999-05-20 Thread John Wetterau
All, Is there a way to convert LyX output to Adobe PDF? Without going through ASCII export (and losing curly quotes)? LyX is marvelous for writing and printing. Now if I can find a way to transfer files to non-LyXers, all will be well. Greets, John
