Where to from here, please? LyX101 What was your reason to convert to LaTeX (plain)? In typical cases LaTeX (pdflatex) or even LaTeX (XeTex) might be a better alternative. This depends on your file specifications, which we don't know about. And I just learned LaTeXiT was rather an equation editor...

As the tutorial tells you: "Select File->Export->LaTeX. This will create a file whatever.tex from the whatever.lyx file you are editing.” The file will be created in the directory where whatever.lyx resides. (Unfortunately this is not made explicit in the English version of the tutorial I have installed but it is in translations such as the German one.)

Re: How to convert LyX doc to LaTeX
Please do not confuse novices with XeTeX. LyX can export to a number of formats from the File pulldown, PDF being the most common with several choices LuaTeX being probably the most common. There is also DVI, if really necessary, and of course LaTeX. Hoeevr you would only export to LaTeX usually if you need to debug the LaTeX code, not for day to day use. The files reside in the same directory as the LyX and if you export repeatedly (after changes) it'll ask for overwrite. And, there is a really well designed help system for perusal :-)-O greetings, el On 12/10/2021 13:43, Axel Dessecker wrote: Am Dienstag, 12.

Re: How to convert LyX doc to LaTeX
I've worked with IEEE pubs that want the .dvi together with figures as .eps. These can be exported directly from LyX. On Tue, Oct 12, 2021 at 7:50 AM Axel Dessecker wrote: > > Am Dienstag, 12.

How to convert LyX doc to LaTeX
I am looking for a step-by-step guide that shows how to convert my LyX document to LaTeX. That is: a Journal, having approved my PDF, now wants a LaTeX version of it. I use: macOS Big Sur, version 11.6. LyX version 2.3.6.2 (7 January 2021) Thank you, LyX101 -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
