It is probably small, and it would be a pain to have to get this manually -- almost to the point that it would seem silly to include lyxport in the LyX source code, because it would not be really convenient since you have to get that script.

Re: Updated (Lyx/Latex) - (ps/pdf/html) script
In my distro epstopdf is part of tetex. The philosophy apparently being that it is needed when running pdflatex instead of LaTeX on a document prepared with eps graphics. As far as I understand it, epstopdf comes together with pdflatex, it was written by the same people. So anyone who has the pdftex package should have epstopdf. And most recent versions of tetex (I don't know starting when) do include the pdftex family. Same with latex2html, I think. In summary, recent installations of tetex come with latex2html, pdflatex, epstopdf, latex and dvips. So besides lyx and perl, tetex should provide everything needed to run lyxport. I'm open to corrections if I'm mistaken in any of this. Best regards, Fernando.

Updated (Lyx/Latex) - (ps/pdf/html) script
Hi All, I have updated/documented quite a bit my Perl script to automate producing PostScript, PDF and HTML from a Latex or Lyx source file. I've tested it a fair bit and it seems to be working well (famous last words), to the point where I've replaced the normal calls to pdflatex and latex2html with it in my Converters dialog. Its whole purpose is to work around the quirks of pdflatex and latex2html to be a bit more robust and convenient. There is now full documentation and an installation makefile, so it should be usable by non-coders. I know it still chokes on very complex files (Thomas...) but some of those problems seem to be things that kill latex2html or pdflatex themselves. I've put up a bare bones web page for it at http://www-hep.colorado.edu/~fperez/lyxport I post this to both lists b/c I think it may be useful to others, and it can certainly use more testing and bugfixing by more brains than mine. All comments and suggestions are welcome, as well as code with improvements. Jean-Marc, you are welcome to include the latest version from the web page in lyx/contrib if you find it good enough for general use. The code is GPL. Cheers, Fernando PS: Please cc your replies to me or to lyx-users, as I'm not subscribed to lyx-devel (though I read the archives).
