As long as everything goes fine, you will not realize the LaTeX compilation on your local computer either. And with "cloud" based compiling, you actually have to worry more at the moment the first error occures... Also, I would not send my private mail etc. over the net more than necessary. Günter

I completely agree - I was never actually thinking about using
ShareLaTeX for collaboration with LyX, only as a means of compiling the
document.

I agree completely here - but still it makes life easier when one does
not have to worry about the compilation of the document.
Re Africa (and elsewhere): the problem might actually be the other way
round, that the bandwidth is the problem and not the hdd space.

Re: Interesting for LyX: ShareLaTeX and github
Importing from LaTeX very often requires manual work.
Yesterday, I had to figure out how to change the \MyLogo from
beamerfoils in the middle of the document, and using
\Mylogo{\includegraphics{whatever.jpg}} did not work.
So exported to LaTeX. Re-import was a mess :-)-O, which is the point here.
So I still think collaborative editing can either be done in LyX or in
LaTeX but not both at the same time. Though, normalizing this, ie only
having one system to maintain might be helpful.
And, if you have LyX you have enough disk space for a minimal LaTeX
installation, even in Africa :-)-O

You can install LyX without LaTeX, but I don't know if this is the case with a Mac - actually, it should work via e.g. homebrew. > > There could be a "sync(-push) LaTeX export" (to project sub-dir) > feature in LyX, where LyX automatically exports the whole LaTeX source > it generates for generating its output to a sub-directory of the LyX > (master) document's location (when a LyX document is saved).

Yes - this would be great, and really open the possibility for using LyX on other devices DREAM MODE ON: LyX on a tablet should be possible! DREAM MODE OFF and on computers with only limited hdd space. But I think the first step would be to have a proper git implementation in LyX (which in itself would be very useful!). And even without ShareLaTeX, it should be relatively straight forward to setup a computer which pulls the github repo, compiles the pdf. Cheers, Rainer > > Regards, > Hugo > > -- Rainer M.

The push part could do a git push when the sync-dir is updated. This could lead to a LaTeX-free LyX installation where compilation is done via Github and ShareLaTeX. Regards, Hugo
Re: Interesting for LyX: ShareLaTeX and github
Indeed, this sounds actually quite interesting, but I don't see how that would work with LyX. Doesn't LyX need a local LaTeX installation, even a small one? And, version control works on LyX files, not on LaTeX, right? On my Mac /usr/local/texlive from MacTex Basic has 514MB which even for my Netbook is peanuts. on 2014-09-17, 09:17 Rainer M Krug said the following: > Hi > > in the past there were some discussions about using cloud based latex > instead of a local installation.

Interesting for LyX: ShareLaTeX and github
Hi in the past there were some discussions about using cloud based latex instead of a local installation. I just receive an announcement from ShareLaTeX that one can automatically compile tex files on github. From their announcement: , | Github + ShareLaTeX | | We have released our new Cloud Compiler which automatically compiles | your LaTeX projects stored in Github after each push. It is free and | very easy to get setup with. If you prefer a local editor and git for | writing your LaTeX then you now no longer need to worry about having a | working LaTeX environment. ` More info can be found at https://www.sharelatex.com/github/ I am not entirely sure how robust and user friendly the git implementation in LyX is, but it would be nice to use it for having a version control as well as cloiund based compilation?
