Aha! I've got it working - Helge minipages + Ross Moore \html stuff:
Here's the solution: 1. Put \htmlonly latex tabular statement before the 1st minipage 2. replace the LyX hfill with a conditional \latexhtml{\hfill}{&} 3. Follow the 2nd minipage with an \htmlonly \end{tabular} Of course you have to put a protected space in the top line of each minipage. (LyX: ctrl-space ctrl-enter ) to get visual top-alignment. The LyX sequence: 0. In the preamble: \usepackage{html} 1. ERT: \begin{htmlonly}\begin{tabular}{tt}\end{htmlonly} 2. LyX Insert->Minipage: 3. \latexhtml{\hfill}{&} 4. LyX Insert->Minipage 5. ERT: \begin{htmlonly}\end{tabular}\end{htmlonly} The LaTeX html package defines (among other things) environments: htmlonly{ ... } % for latex commands which will be ignored by latex or pdflatex but honoured by latex2html latexhtml{latex code}{html code} the first argument will be processed by latex only the second argument will be processed by latex2html only. Effectively this builds a latex file with the minipages in a latex tabular when you ask latex2html to process it. When latex or pdflatex process the file the html bits are ignored (so there is no tabular statement). regards John O'Gorman
