After a few recompilations and some tinkering I think I know why images are not working. (I used the EmbeddedObjects.lyx guide.) eLyXer is actually working in the /tmp directory, and the result is then copied back to the document directory. Unfortunately there are no images to convert in the /tmp directory, so eLyXer doesn't find them and cannot convert them. Furthermore, the copier takes the /tmp/*/EmbeddedObjects.html file and moves it to a folder called EmbeddedObjects.html.LyXconv, and places the actual file EmbeddedObjects.html inside. So even if the image can be directly embedded inside the HTML (like a PNG), and needs no conversion, the HTML file does not find it. Removing the copier altogether (so that just the plain EmbeddedObjects.html is copied) solved this last problem. As to the first issue, what do you suggest? Maybe a custom copier could copy images to /tmp? I see that other converters place versions of the images there. Still I don't very much like this approach, and would very much do a conversion in place (without going through /tmp). Unfortunately I don't think this is possible. Any ideas? Thanks, Alex.
