Yes, of course :-) still, I was looking for something on the lyx bars as to open, say, a side window and see the LaTeX source directly. my best mario On Fri, 2004-09-24 at 20:43, Alfredo Braunstein wrote: > mario wrote: > > > Hi, > > Hi > > > how do I see the .tex LaTeX source? > > (kind of silly, I know; > > or, how Export work? > > file->export->latex should leave a .tex file with the same name of your .lyx > in the same directory. > > Alfredo > > >

I got it! I may customize the Export command, with my preferred viewer (for ASCII/.tex files). Cute! bless you mario -- Yes, of course :-) still, I was looking for something on the lyx bars as to open, say, a side window and see the LaTeX source directly. my best mario On Fri, 2004-09-24 at 20:43, Alfredo Braunstein wrote: > mario wrote: > > > Hi, > > Hi > > > how do I see the .tex LaTeX source? > > (kind of silly, I know; > > or, how Export work? > > file->export->latex should leave a .tex file with the same name of your .lyx > in the same directory. > > Alfredo > > >
