Hi folks,

I have been updating eLyXer to support LyX 2.0's format, and I have
noticed that in the guide "Additional LyX Features" you reference
eLyXer in these words:

"Alex Fernandez’s eLyXer solves some of these problems. In particular,
its rendering of math tends to look better than htlatex’s, at least in
simpler cases, since it renders math using a combination of HTML and
CSS rather than converting the formulae to images. But more complex
formula tend to be rendered less well than with htlatex, since there
is no reasonable way of scaling parentheses in HTML, for example. More
importantly (as of version 0.39, at least), eLyXer has no support for
math macros, for user-defined paragraph or character styles, or for
tables of contents and figures, and its treatment of cross-references
is minimal. These limitations make eLyXer unsuitable for many of the
documents more advanced LyX users would produce. In principle, of
course, all of these problems could be solved, but the LyX developers
have decided to follow a different path and have made LyX itself
capable of writing XHTML, just as it is capable of writing LaTeX,
DocBook, and plaintext. "

I would appreciate it if you could update this guide to reflect the
status of eLyXer 1.1.1: eLyXer supports math macros, tables of
contents and figures, and cross-references. User-defined paragraphs
and character styles can often be added by changing the CSS. Finally,
there is a way to scale parentheses in HTML (using Unicode
characters), and I am trying to experiment with it, but this is just a
wish list item.

Also, a link to eLyXer's home page would be nice:

In case anyone wants to judge the state of eLyXer, I have published
the conversion of the LyX Math guide online:

if you prefer to link this.

Thanks,

Alex.
