Apart from cutting pages at a fixed number of words, or doing some troff-like abomination (the kind you see on RFCs: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1866.txt), I don't see how that would even work. The natural way to do what you want would be to cut the output by sections; and frankly I don't understand why that solution doesn't cut it for you (pun intended). Another request I have received, and which I need myself, is to output section names as page names, the kind of dash-separated-titles that you see on blog posts. I should take out some time to work on eLyXer! Alex.

Do you mean the visual output or the file structure, or? Richard, I'm not experienced enough at HTML to have an opinion on file structure. When I set the document default output to HTML (filtered through elyxer) the viewed document is more visually appealing than when set to LyXHTML. Perhaps ugly is too strong a word here, but I think most people would agree it looks dated. I didn't mean to give offense and please don't take my comment that way. It has been said that a gentleman never gives offense, unintentionally. If you or the Lyx team were offended, then my normal gentlemanly demeanor has suffered a glitch. Regards, Ray

LyX's own method should not do this, and does not do it in the test I just ran. $ elyxer --version * eLyXer version 1.2.3 (2011-08-31) When my document output format is set to HTML I get: Line 3: * Warning: unsupported new format version 430 Line 149: * Unknown command \thispagestyle Line 192: * Unknown command \lhead Line 192: * Unknown command \pagenumbering Line 262: * Unknown command \pagenumbering Line 262: * Unknown command \topmargin on STDERR from elyxer. These unrecognized commands get passed through as plain text in the HTML. Sorry, but LyXHTML is too ugly for my taste. I'm not clear on these things, but it looks like Elyxer is not maintained by the Lyx project. Should I take silly little problem elsewhere? I would like to not need to modify the document depending on the output form. Is this possible? You could use branches to turn things on and off. Secondly, I would like the output to be one large file but with defined page numbers just like the PDF. I guess I don't really understand this. I'd be happy to add it to LyX's XHTML output routine, but how does one know where to break the pages? OK, I made an incorrect assumption when I wrote the above. I didn't realize the HTML was being created directly from lyx code. I was thinking it was going through some common intermediate format. Since not, the problem is between me and elyxer and probably insoluble since neither HTML or Lyx code have a any concept of a letter sized page.
