====== Convert from LyX to LaTeX ======

Many ways to use. First, one can use File --> Export --> LaTeX (pdflatex). The .tex file is saved in the same folder as .lyx file.

The second way is a little bit more complex, but can be useful. Follow those steps.

  - Open Tools --> Preferences
  - Within the preference windows, go to "Paths" and change both "Working directory" and Temporary directory to something easy to find such as "C:\Users\LyX" (create the folder first if not existing). See the figure below {{:blog:lyx1.png}}
  - Restart LyX and open the LyX file. Compile the LyX file to make sure everything works. 
  - Then go the directory your created in Step 2 such as "C:\Users\LyX".
  - Within the directory, you will see temporary folders starting with "lyx_tmp". Browse to the latest folders and you will see a list of files with .tex file, .bib file, and other files. 
  - The folder provides all information you need for your latex version of the document. 
  - If you have used .bib file, there will be .bbl file whose content you can copy to .tex file. Then, you don't need the .bib file any more.
