Here is a patch that solves this problem (and others).
A \\converter line in lyxrc has 4 parameters from, to ,flags
where flags is a list of comma separated flags.
Known flags are
- originaldir : The converter must be invoked in the directory of the lyx
file and not in the temporary directory. This is needed for tex->html
converters in order to be able to read the eps files.
- needaux : The converted uses the .aux file, so we need to call latex
before running the converter.
- resultdir=dir : The converter put all the files in dir.
Using "resultdir" is same as "resultdir=$$Basename".
Note: When exporting, the whole directory will be moved from the temporary
directory to the target directory.
- resultfile=file : Name of main file in the result directory, for example
"index.html" or "$$BaseName.html"
If "resultfile" is omitted, the name of this file is assumed to be
"index.format"
Examples:
(1) \converter tex html "latex2html -no_subdir -split 0 $$FName"
"originaldir,needaux"
(2) \converter tex html "latex2html -split 0 $$FName"
"originaldir,needaux,resultdir"
(3) \converter tex html "latex2html -dir $$BaseName_html $$FName"
"originaldir,needaux,resultdir=$$BaseName_html"
Suppose we convert the file foo.tex to html
In (1), we will call "netscape TMPDIR/foo.html" to view the file,
and when exporting we will move "TMPDIR/foo.html" to "ORIGDIR/foo.html"
In (2) we will call "netscape TMPDIR/foo/index.html" to view the file,
and when exporting we will move "TMPDIR/foo" to "ORIGDIR/foo"
In (2) we will call "netscape TMPDIR/foo_html/index.html" to view the file,
and when exporting we will move "TMPDIR/foo_html" to "ORIGDIR/foo_html"
PS: There is a problem with the export code when TMPDIR and ORIGDIR are not on
same file system. How can this be tested?
