eLyXer For Mac

While there are a ton of such projects all over the web, eLyXer has a clear focus on flexibility and elegant output.

LyX is a wonderful text editor which produces beautiful PDF files. Internally it exports documents to LaTeX, and from there to PDF. Sadly there is not an equivalent “export to HTML” option…

Until now! With eLyXer you can convert your master’s thesis, learned article, fascinating novel or love letter to a web page that you can then share, publish on the web or import into other text editors.

eLyXer can convert documents generated with versions of LyX from 1.5.5 through 1.6.2 (and probably earlier versions).

eLyXer should work with versions up to 2.6.1 and It has been tested to run on Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows.

Resource usage is minimum. Converting UserGuide.lyx (154 pages, about 40000 words) takes about 50 seconds on my 1st-generation Asus Eee, which sports a 530MHz Celeron processor. On a modern machine it should be ligthning fast. Memory usage is also quite frugal, remaining always below 10 MB.
