Came across the command for converting a wikipedia page into a .pdf (using LaTeX):
pandoc -s --latex-engine=xelatex -r html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers/Archive_142 -o archive_142.pdf and was struck by how convenient it would be to be able to use LyX to open up arbitrary files on the 'net, using pandoc &c. to convert them to .lyx files Would this be something to build into LyX or should it be supported by the toolkit? If File | Open wouldn't be suitable, could we add a File | Import from URL? William -- William Adams senior graphic designer Fry Communications Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.
