declare destination directory for converted files
Hello all, I'm trying to customize the conversion to html via the tools-preferences dialog but I can't seem to find anything about how to control where the output is written to (especially which directory it is written to). I recognize the variables $$i and $$o but they only seem to refer to the filenames without their absolute or relative path. The effect is that if I call my own bash script from within LyX I get all resulting files written into the tmp directory. So my question is, is there a way to refer to the directory where the current lyx file resides from within LyX? If so, how is it done? I didn't find anything regarding that topic in the docs nor in the list archives. If I overlooked something I apologize and kindly ask you to provide a link to the answer I did not find. Also if you see another solution for my problem (i.e. directing output to the current working directory) please feel free to tell me how you would do it. Thanks in advance and best regards, Andreas Lagemann
