Hi all,
I have been using LyX for a while (> 1 year), mainly for University
assignments which need to be written in LaTex (Computer Science).
Anyway, in the major assignment for the year there is a large amount of
documentation -- all to be submitted in LaTex. It would be so much
nicer if I could submit (distribute) the actual .lyx files only,
providing a Makefile target(s) that generate tex/dvi/ps from the .lyx
files on demand. To do this I would need a completly separate (read
small, ~ universally compilable) lyx -> nice latex translator, I can't
imagine my lecturers wanting to install a whole new piece of software
just to read my documentation.
I am sure this would be of benefit to more than just myself, it would
likely be very appealing to developers in general who would like to
distribute (and maintain) only one format of a file rather than having
to keep around lyx, tex and any number of others.
I'm sure for someone who has knowledge of the LyX sourcecode &| the .lyx
file format and how it relates to LaTex code it wouldn't be a tough job
(another suggestion :: flex & bison (lexx & yacc), or just rip it out of
the LyX source).
