HTML editing
I'm using Lyx to edit a structured document which must be presented in
HTML. I've found that I get the best results by using latex2html as
the final conversion tool.
A couple of questions:
1) On starting Lyx, I get this error message:
LyX: Unknown tag `\html_command' [around line 9 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc]
Here's my lyxrc file:
\html_command latex2html -no_subdir -no_navigation -verbosity 0 -info
0 -split 0 -show_section_numbers '$$FName'
2) The output mostly looks OK, with the exception of code
snippets. I'm using the LyX-Code style in my document, but this
doesn't appear in the HTML as fixed-width text. The intermediate Latex
file seems to directly reference this Lyx-Code style rather than
something which latex2html could understand like {tt} (I hope you know
what I mean even if the syntax is wrong). How can I fix this?

EPS figures not displaying
Hi. I upgraded LyX from 1.1.6 to 1.2.1, after which EPS files inserted as figures aren't displayed by LyX. Even in LyX documentation I get a box that contains the name of the file (e.g., mobius.eps in Sec. 4.3 of the User Guide) and a message claiming Error converting to loadable format. Derivative files (.dvi, .ps, .pdf) do contain the figures in the proper places, but it is irksome that figures from PostScript files can no longer be seen in the LyX window.

Nesting
Hello, I want to put a list inside a list. And the documentation is very frustrating. When you read the section on Nesting environments, you first get an introduction on who LyX sees things, and why nesting is cool. Then it says, How do you put a list inside a list? By now the answer should be obvious, you nest them. This is a very frustrating and useless description to have in the section that is supposed to show me how to nest things in the first place. If I want to know how to nest things, and your response is by nesting them, that's less than useless. Could someone *please* tell me how I can nest environments? I just want to put a list inside another. That's it. I've tried highlighting a portion of text and clicking on a new kind of list, I've tried semi-random key combinations. I really don't know what I'm supposed to do. Also, could someone update the documentation so that it contains a meaningful answer? I'm sure that nesting lists is very easy, but you can't expect me to just guess how. I hope that someone can help.

The best you can do might be inserting the latex2html generated pictures into word. This can be done, I think, by some html to rtf translator. Thanks Bo.. I was trying latex2html from within Lyx and the math part wasn't getting converted.. but I exported the file to Latex and then ran latex2html from the shell and it worked fine.. I guess this is probably a decent way to do it till a way is found to convert math into rtf directly... I guess you need to change the parameters of latex2html to whatever you use outside of lyx. (Edit - Preference - Conversion) Anyway, a shell script or make file will do the job nicely. Since word can open html file, you can export .lyx to .html file (better with -no_subdir parameter to get a single html file), open it with word and save to doc format.

HTML editing
I'm using Lyx to edit a structured document which must be presented in
HTML. I've found that I get the best results by using latex2html as
the final conversion tool.
A couple of questions:
1) On starting Lyx, I get this error message:
LyX: Unknown tag `\html_command' [around line 9 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc]
Here's my lyxrc file:
\html_command latex2html -no_subdir -no_navigation -verbosity 0 -info
0 -split 0 -show_section_numbers '$$FName'
2) The output mostly looks OK, with the exception of code
snippets. I'm using the LyX-Code style in my document, but this
doesn't appear in the HTML as fixed-width text. The intermediate Latex
file seems to directly reference this Lyx-Code style rather than
something which latex2html could understand like {tt} (I hope you know
what I mean even if the syntax is wrong). How can I fix this?

Nesting
Hello, I want to put a list inside a list. And the documentation is very frustrating. When you read the section on Nesting environments, you first get an introduction on who LyX sees things, and why nesting is cool. Then it says, How do you put a list inside a list? By now the answer should be obvious, you nest them. This is a very frustrating and useless description to have in the section that is supposed to show me how to nest things in the first place. If I want to know how to nest things, and your response is by nesting them, that's less than useless. Could someone *please* tell me how I can nest environments? I just want to put a list inside another. That's it. I've tried highlighting a portion of text and clicking on a new kind of list, I've tried semi-random key combinations. I really don't know what I'm supposed to do. Also, could someone update the documentation so that it contains a meaningful answer? I'm sure that nesting lists is very easy, but you can't expect me to just guess how. I hope that someone can help.

Re: Redhat install: libforms RPM
The xforms-0.88-4 rpm on the LyX ftp site works for me, but libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 was still missing.

Would it help you to have some kind of "chemical formula inset" similar to
the "math formula inset" that puts everything into \mathrm automatically?

HTML editing
I'm using Lyx to edit a structured document which must be presented in
HTML. I've found that I get the best results by using latex2html as
the final conversion tool.
A couple of questions:
1) On starting Lyx, I get this error message:
LyX: Unknown tag `\html_command' [around line 9 of file ~/.lyx/lyxrc]
Here's my lyxrc file:
\html_command "latex2html -no_subdir -no_navigation -verbosity 0 -info
0 -split 0 -show_section_numbers '$$FName'"
2) The output mostly looks OK, with the exception of code
snippets. I'm using the LyX-Code style in my document, but this
doesn't appear in the HTML as fixed-width text. The intermediate Latex
file seems to directly reference this Lyx-Code style rather than
something which latex2html could understand like {tt} (I hope you know
what I mean even if the syntax is wrong). How can I fix this?

I'd rather expect a line saying

E.g. by adjusting the LyX-Code definition in layout/lyxmacros.inc or by
teaching latex2html wht to do whit "lyxcode". I don't know which one is
easier, though.

In this case LyX decides to use AMS and the user has no way to switch it off. Actually I really have better things to do than to have this argument again.

You can't have a float inside a float:
