eLyXer -- convert LyX source files to HTML output.
Introduction
============
eLyXer converts a LyX source file to a HTML page. Full documentation in HTML
format can be found at docs/index.html, or on the web:
http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/
Installation
============
Quick installation guide (for the impatient):
* download the latest version from http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/,
* decompress the .zip or .tar.gz
* and install it using the provided script install.py as root:
# ./install.py
or on Windows:
> python install.py
To install eLyXer first download a compressed version from
http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/
You will also need a recent (> 2.4) version of Python on your target machine.
For decompression: open a terminal window in the directory that contains the
downloaded file and just write at the command line prompt:
$ tar -xzf elyxer-[version].tar.gz
Or for the .zip version:
$ unzip elyxer-[version].zip
where [version] should be something like 0.44; the full name might be something
like elyxer-0.44.tar.gz.
On Windows or Mac OS X you can unzip the file using the graphical tool of your
choice. In any case, a directory called elyxer-[version] should appear, where
the installer script install.py can be found (along with this README).
The recommended installation procedure is to just run this script. On Linux
type as root:
# ./install.py
and similarly for Mac OS X, while for Windows open a console and type:
> python install.py
Note the you don't need to write the prompt, # or >; the console will print it
for you. Double-clicking on install.py should also work if your Python
installation is minimally sane. It will tell you as a result to which directory
eLyXer has been installed as a binary, which is be the typical result; in this
case eLyXer should be run as follows:
$ elyxer.py [input file] [output file]
or, on Windows:
> elyxer.py [input file] [output file]
You can test that it works with the --help option:
$ elyxer.py --help
or, on Windows:
> elyxer.py --help
Usage and options should then be shown.
LyX Integration
===============
To integrate eLyXer with LyX you just have to reconfigure LyX, selecting
Tools -> Reconfigure from within LyX. For rather old versions of LyX (< 1.6.2)
you may have to copy elyxer.py into the LyX directory, and reconfigure it.
Later versions will recognize eLyXer automatically, either if you install it
using distutils or as a binary.
Usage
=====
eLyXer can be invoked from the command line as:
$ elyxer.py [source file] [destination file]
If the source file is omitted then STDIN is used; likewise, if no destination
file is specified eLyXer will output to STDOUT. This allows its use in pipes
and other flexible configurations.
Examples:
$ elyxer.py file.lyx file.html
converts file.lyx to file.html. Debug messages are shown.
$ cat file.lyx | elyxer.py > file.html
converts file.lyx to file.html, as before. This time debug messages are not
shown.
$ elyxer.py file.lyx | grep "<blockquote>" | wc
counts all blockquote paragraphs.
$ elyxer.py file.lyx | wget --no-check-certificate --spider -nv -F -i -
checks all external links in a document recursively. (Local links will appear
as unresolved, but they can be ignored.)
Documentation
=============
Documentation about eLyXer, including a user guide and a developer guide, can
be found in the docs directory. The project is hosted at Savannah.nongnu.org.
