Re: PDF to PowerPoint converter

2008-02-27 Thread Alan Isaac
On the face of it, this is totally stupid. One can easily create non-compliant Ppt or compliant PDF. But there is a simpler solution: HTML. Give a lyx to HTML converter a try. Post your HTML along with your PDFs. Voilá: compliance. (Or anyway, as much as the Ppt will have.) IANAL, Alan Isaac

Sounds like you should consider docutils with reStructuredText. This produces PDF via LaTeX. (If you need math in your text, say so, and I'll explain how it's done.) Cheers, Alan Isaac

TeX to PDF as usual reStructuredText has only modest support for citations, but it can be supplemented by bibstuff if you have serious citation needs. hth, Alan Isaac PS Make sure you look at ``rst2latex.py --help`` since there are some very useful options.

screen font zoom: math fonts problem

2007-01-17 Thread Alan Isaac
I see that others have had trouble getting their math fonts to zoom but I do not see a solution posted. I just installed LyX on the Mac and except for this serious problem everything seems golden. Is there a solution? Thank you, Alan Isaac
