Re: Lyx and Latex2html

Hi Markus.

This works perfectly (?;-) here on a small test file. Could you send to me 
a minimal test file showing the problem ?

Lyx adds a command:

%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.
%% Because html converters don't know tabularnewline
\providecommand{\tabularnewline}{\\}

and then uses

\tabularnewline

throughout tables.  The latex2HTML program understands this only for
the first table but then gets confused (for some reason).

I have just been just

  1. exporting lyx to (la)tex
  2. use a text editor to globally change \tabularnewline to \\
  3. run latex2html outside of lyx

I posted the problem to this list a while ago but did not post my work
around.

I usuall use 'hevea' for .tex-to-.html conversion.

Well, and you'll end up with something neither readable by humans nor
by machines..

I think the original problem was not to simply change the file extensions
but to retain as much as possible of the formatting information ;-)

Just edit your lyx file with a word processor, save it as << file.tex >>
and apply LaTeX on it.
It's a way I use when I want to make some modifications.

lyx --export latex  

You need a running X-Server, however...

(Or a mail archive browser for retrieving other suggestions to solve
your problem ;-) )

I have not seen such a thing so far.

>From my experince of latex2HTML, if you want a correct behaviour with
printed URLS in the paper document and hypertext links in the electronic ones, 
you must use the html.sty provided with latex2HTML and use one of
the provided commands \htmladdnormallink or \htmladdnormallinkfoot.
I personnaly prefer the second one, which puts the URL as a footnote.
Is seems that you must insert the reference in TeX mode up to now, after
adding the package in the preamble.

More generally, html.sty allows to control the differences between
paper version and electronic version of a document (insertion of HTML code,
LaTeX part which should not be translated,...).

  I am not sure about this but that behaviour can be configured
inside latex2html.
