Re: HTML rendering issue

A bit complicated, but one can get this to work.

Use an absolute path ie in my case (global) replace in LyX

	figures/

with

	/Users/el/Downloads/figures/

I put the lyx file into

	/Users/el/Downloads

by the way and could export a PDF, producing a directory

	/Users/el/Downloads/figure

Then (and I think this is important) exporting to HTML produced a
directory

	/Users/el/Downloads/TestHTML.html.LyXconv

and

	open TestHTML.html.LyXconv/TestHTML.html

(on my Mac) opened Chrome and showed the enclosed screen shot.

	grep Downloads TestHTML.html.LyXconv/TestHTML.html

shows

	src="/Users/el/Downloads/figure/unnamed-chunk-2-1.png" alt="PIC"
	src="/Users/el/Downloads/figure/unnamed-chunk-2-2.png" alt="PIC"
	src="/Users/el/Downloads/figure/unnamed-chunk-2-3.png" alt="PIC"

Then you copy the figure directory below

	/Users/el/Downloads/TestHTML.html.LyXconv/figure

and remove the absolute paths in the html src lines by way of something like

	perl -i -p -e 's+/Users/el/Downloads/figure/+figure/+g' TestHTML.html

so you get the relative paths, which you will need for your editors.

A little shell script or even a Makefile could semi-automagic all of the
above :-)-O
