Has anybody ever tried to build a plug-in to enable web browsers to display lyx files? Lyx files would be displayed to users through konqueror, safari, firefox, ie-explorer toogether with a warning that, to print that file, latex is to be installed on the local station. What do you think?
It's a good idea and I guess many of us had the same idea many times a year :-)
More seriously, LyX will switch to XML in 1.6. So, with proper XSL technology, it should be possible to display a pretty good representation of LyX content in xhtml format in any standard compliant browser. Then you wouldn't even need a plugin.
Another idea would be to implement a javascript based convertor from lyx to html. Shouldn't be very hard.
As for a proper LyX plugin, if it possible to implement such a beast in Python, lyx2lyx could probably help there.
A server side LyX-based conversion to html is also a good solution. Abdel.
