HTMLyX

HTMLyX is still in early stages of development, and most features available in LyX are currently unsupported.

HTMLyX is a cross-platform LyX to HTML compiler.

Motivation

LyX is an open-source document processor. Usually, it export document as .tex file which are then compiled to .pdf using some installation of TeX. However, the multiple TeX instances of different operating systems make it difficult to compile files on different computers.

Moreover, the .pdf documents generated are not easily viewed on mobile devices with small screens. Attempts have been made to compile both LyX and LaTeX documents into html code, but such attempts are lacking in terms of Right-to-Left support and support of math equations. This project claim to provide adequate support for both.

Usage

usage: python main.py [-h] input_file output_file

Convert .lyx files to .html files.

positional arguments:
  input_file   path to a valid .lyx file
  output_file  where to store the resulting .html file

optional arguments:
  -h, --help   show this help message and exit
