Following your last observation Anders, Adobe had a flowing PDF project, but I
do not know what happened to it. Do you know?

Still have not found the proper way to post to thread, so I just hope it will
show up the right place.
First, for the topic of the thread: I have now tried 1) rollapp.com and 2)
remote access to my Mac from iPad (Screens and TeamWiever). rollapp.com is too

Could you elaborate a bit on your pandoc/markdown comments? What kind of

it creates pretty clean HTML so that the formatting is via CSS.

Steve,
I fundamentally disagree about the relevance.
LyX is a front end for LaTeX, not a document format. And it is a
FANTASTIC front end, which can be twsited to do a lot of things :-)-O
pandoc can produce an epub from (reasonable) LaTeX (exported from LyX),
which kindlegen can translate into m

Perhaps this is why LyX becomes less relevant every year. Here, in
2018, LyX *still* cannot produce an semantically reasonable ePub, and

What is it that you want to do?
Type text into LyX, or generate PDF?
If the former, Markdown might be an alternative, and then generating
LaTeX with pandoc and from there with tex2lyx to LyX proper. This will
work out of the box on Linux and Mac, but I have no idea about Windoze.

Apple more and more positions the iPad as a computer replacement. And recent
