How to export from LyX to LaTeX
All of this information is out there, but it took me more than a few hours to successfully manage this on my Mac, so here are the steps, using LyX and TeXShop. Go to File->Export->LyX Archive This generates a zipped tarball of your .lyx file and, crucially, all the other elements (such as graphics…
