It would be very helpful if you sent me a sample that showed all of them, since there are too many esoteric LyX options. You can also send any samples privately as before, and they will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. A new option is the loremipsumizer: a Python script to remove any private information. Just place it in the same directory as your document, give it permissions as an executable file and run: % ./loremipsumize.py mydoc.lyx loremipsum.lyx It generates a new version of the file retaining all format information, but replacing any string of three or more words with "lorem ipsum". The script loremipsumize.py is distributed along with eLyXer on the root directory.

My most sincere thanks to all eLyXer users for presenting me with such interesting challenges, and a happy new year to all! Alex.

I agree! After the first run I'm really impressed!
A rather challanging lyx file with 4 pages (when pdf) with older
westphalian-saxon verses were well structured transformed into html. With
the "footnotes" (here as the tufte style specific margin notes) as margin
notes ( or however it is called in html source code).
And with the bibliographical reference on the end (where I put the link to
the bibtex file into the LyX document. Even the margin figures were in the
margin (linked to there temporary place in the LyX tmp dir).
Few problems are remaining:
- The strophes/stanzas within the single poems are not separated (done in
LyX with paragraph break instead of newline);
- a complicated sidenote in the abstract (vertically shifted by a TeX
inset and with a /citep{…} within) had not been placed into the margin,
but it's LyX text between the TeX-insets was within the abstract text)
- a special tufte cls and layout inset (called "numbered margin note" or
the like) which I put into one poem has not been translocated to the
margin but remained as additional row in the poem.
- In the bibliography (bibtex) reference the German umlauts are in the
LaTeX manner, e. g. »"o« instead of »ö«, but I remember you mention this
problem in "3.1 Known Issues".
Some of these problems might be resolvable with user-defined accommodation
within the css. But that'a field I might achieve in future…
But I didn't want to go into these issues en details, in the moment, but
give an enthused first echo. After further experimenting I'll come back
more precisely, perhaps better on your Elyxer-users mailing list.
Thank you for your work on it, the bygone year!

Fear not. You can run everything using "python -m elyxer" just as "elyxer.py". I have modified the User Guide to include some examples, starting with the generic command line: $ python -m elyxer [options] [source file] [destination file] > Hope that Alex "elyxer" Fernandez or someone using the "elegantly installed" > elyxer can answer to my question, what python -m elyxer is for… I will also answer it in the User Guide: you are running eLyXer as a Python module, which means that you don't need to know its location on your system. > Yes, I had been one of the first users of elyxer on Mac (mentioned friendly > by Alex in the "Acknowledgments").

You are a patient and intelligent collaborator; I am eagerly waiting for any input from you. By the way, maybe you could kindly request BH, the Mac OS X maintainer for LyX, to include eLyXer in his installer. I corresponded with him earlier on and his main concern was maintainability of eLyXer; hopefully now that the Windows alt installer and Debian are distributing eLyXer he will be more willing to do it; his is the only major platform where eLyXer is not distributed at all. Of course there are all the other Linux distributions (besides Debian) as well... Alex.
"python -m elyxer" question
Today I installed elyxer (again), I choose the "elegant way" as described in the user-guide, see file:///Users/joachim/RunnerLaae/La_TeX&LyX/elyxer2009-12/docs/userguide-frameset.html at the end of subsection 1.2. The last Terminal command which I did on my Mac-OSX was: sudo python setup.py install - with success, no error message! But I don't understand the meaning of the last phrase in the subsection 1.2: "From now on we will assume that you are running elyxer.py as an executable file, => but you should substitute that for python -m elyxer if you have opted for this elegant procedure." In the following parts of this section of the user guide, I only see the commands with $ elyxer.py … - and not with "python -m elyxer". Therefore I'm tangeled (afraid to do something wrong). Hope that Alex "elyxer" Fernandez or someone using the "elegantly installed" elyxer can answer to my question, what python -m elyxer is for… joachim PS: Yes, I had been one of the first users of elyxer on Mac (mentioned friendly by Alex in the "Acknowledgments"). But because of my complicated tufte classes, I decided to wait for further devolopements. Now making a new warm-up with it. -- Mac BacicTeX 2009 - TeXShop 2.29 / TeXworks 0.2.3 LyX 1.6.5 - MacBook Pro intel OSX 10.4.11 Tiger
