Re: Fwd: Elyxer and Lyx 1.6.3
Solved, sort of... Well I can now call elyxer from Lyx. Here is the black magic that allowed this (I do not understand at all why it was not working before and why it works now ;-) ): I have tried several reconfigures+quits without any success. Then I have decided to duplicate your configuration. I have moved elyxer.py in Program Files/elyxer and changed the path in Lyx in conformity with this. Then reconfigure and restart. First trial Lyx has tried to run elyxer (instead of htlatex) and this was already a success but it could not find elyxer since I have moved it from the scripts folder. I have copied it back to this folder (without changing my path string) and bingo! I have a beatiful HTML page. Elyxer's result is really very nice out of the box. Thank you very much Alex for this tool. My preferences file now reads: \path_prefix "C:/Program Files/LyX16/bin;C:/Program Files/LyX16/python;C:/TeXLive2008/bin/win32;C:/Program Files/LyX16/ghostscript/bin;C:/Program Files/LyX16/imagemagick;C:/Program Files/elyxer" and \converter "lyx" "html" "python $$s/scripts/elyxer.py $$i $$o" "" I am happy that it works now but I would be happy to understand why ;-) Thanks to all (to Olivier and Alex in particular) for your help.

If you made a knot into your towel, will the next Tuesday be sunny? ;-) What did we decide about the format? Is it also html, or is it some other format? I don't understand. It is html because it produces html, for more details, see our current configure.py in branch. regards Uwe

Fwd: Elyxer and Lyx 1.6.3
Thank you for all your help. In fact, I have also put the path to Lyx's script folder (where elyxer resides) to the path box in the preferences of Lyx in the same time as the configuration of the Lyx->HTML conversion command box. If I read well Olivier's message, there is not any contradiction between these two boxes. I have also observed that during the first configuration, Lyx->HTML command has disappeared from the conversion options and I had to add it by hand.

What am I doing wrong? I have also done another experiment: I have erased this conversion line from the preferences files but let the path to elyxer in the path box. Then I have opened Lyx and done a reconfigure. Then closed and reopened Lyx but there was not any line with Lyx->HTML in the conversion box. Reconfigure does not seem to be able to find elyxer.py, even it is supposed to if I understand well Uwe. I am lost... Last information: I have used the standard installer for Lyx under Windows XP.

I have followed the instructions in the list given by Olivier: "I managed to get elyxer working by doing the following: - copy elyxer.py to the script folder ("C:\Program Files\LyX 1.6.3\Resources\scripts") on my machine,- in Preferences -> Converters, in the LyX -> HTML, modify the command to be: python $$s/scripts/elyxer.py $$i $$o" I have installed the last version (0.29) of the elyxer.py script in the folder indicated by Olivier and changed Lyx->HTML conversion command as indicated. I have done a reconfigure, just incase. Hi, First, in the same thread, I was indicating that I had a problem with reconfigure: To have it to work, I have to reconfigure, then close lyx, reopen, reconfigure, close again, and only at the second restart, I had it to work. Try that, and perhaps the problem will be solved. If it still fails, then you should follow the instructions given by Uwe in the same thread, namely: "But even now, LyX will recognize eLyXer when you have it installed. All you have to do is to add the path to the file elyxer.py in the PATH prefix in LyX's preferences. Then reconfigure LyX and eLyXer should work." I think that if you install in the lyx resources script folder, you should not need to do it, but in case, you may try it. I actually have a different situation, so if everything still fail, here it is: elyxer is installed in "Program Files", and this folder was added to LyX path. So it's the one seen by reconfigure script (I think). Then only, I copy the script in LyX's script folder. Good luck ! Best regards, Olivier. But, when I do View/HTML or Export/HTML Lyx continues to try to run htlatex. I am probably missing something but I do not know what :-( Sorry if I am making a stupid mistake but I would appreciate a lot your help at this point, since I am just blocked... Regards, Murat

Surely someone else on the list can help you. Meanwhile you can try manual conversion on a DOS terminal, writing: > Python.exe \elyxer.py filein.lyx fileout.html Let us hope that LyX 1.6.4 comes already preconfigured to use eLyXer and that the Windows installer optionally installs it. It would solve a lot of problems for users. Thanks, Alex.
