I want each of the systems have their own document, explaining the system's features, etc. One way would be to have a master document in the root and then use the other documents as slaves. So each project would have its lyx file (That could include other files...). I guessed it would have to be set up like this, yes. So the master-slave pattern can repeat again in the slave docs? Nice... 2. I want to be able to hyperlink from these documents to other Lyx documents (e.g. a section, a table, a figure), or to certain functions or other contructs in the C/C++ source code. In lyx that requires to always load the master document. Now that could be a serious problem with some 80 documents involved. The master doc, with all slaves included, could become too big to handle easily. And there's no way to make a hyperlink (or crossref) to a non-lyx doc, like a C source file, right? 5. And finally I need all the individual files converted to HTML, the HTML file stored next to the orginal Lyx file in the corresponding subfolders, and with the hyperlinks now pointing to the associated HTML file instead of the original Lyx file, thus creating a nice web of HTML documentation. Here you need to tweak the latex to html converters as it is not possible now. Yes, I guessed as much. What I need is some 'distributed documentation' feature, but it isn't implemented in any of the apps I tried so far (OpenOffice, Lyx). The master-slave feature comes half-way, but the moment you want the slave docs individually converted (distributed) as a batch, using the master document concept, it's a no no. Okay, thanks for the info Jose. Appreciated! - Robert

Multi-part doc plus HTML export?
Hi list, long time ago for me. I see you guys have been busy. :) I'm starting a BIG documentation project involving a huge C/C++ source tree of about 70 different systems (subfolders). Let me explain what I want to do, and hopefully you can tell me if this is possible in Lyx. 1. I want each of the systems have their own document, explaining the system's features, etc. 2. I want to be able to hyperlink from these documents to other Lyx documents (e.g. a section, a table, a figure), or to certain functions or other contructs in the C/C++ source code. 3. I want a number of Lyx documents at the top level, referring to the different system doc files, again using hyperlinks, thus creating a nice web of hyperlinked docs. 4. I want a single big PDF created from all of these documents (using a master document I guess), where each of the (about 80) documents 5. And finally I need all the individual files converted to HTML, the HTML file stored next to the orginal Lyx file in the corresponding subfolders, and with the hyperlinks now pointing to the associated HTML file instead of the original Lyx file, thus creating a nice web of HTML documentation. I'm currently trying to set this up in OpenOffice v2.x, but the app is very instable, imo. I'd like to know if this can better be done in Lyx, and how easy (natural) it is for Lyx to do this. I'm running Linux here, and don't mind building a couple of scripts to get the HTML conversion done. Thanks for any info! Robert

Filters to and from LyX?
Hi folks, One simple question: how do you all import docs from and export doc to the rest of the world with formats like Word and RTF? Any hints appreciated, Robert
