Abstract: Connexions modules can be easily developed using a technical word processor called LyX. LyX is a graphical editor designed as a front-end for creating LaTeX documents. This module introduces a Perl script, called LyX2cnx, which translates LyX files into CNXML. LyX's native file structure serves as a "meta-format" which is easily translated into LaTeX and Connexions formats. This makes it easy to create multi-purpose content that can be quickly converted to Connexions modules, LaTeX files or PDF documents. The LyX2cnx translator also handles conversion of TeX equations using calls to the freely-available Tralics Tex-to-MathML translator. This Connexions module was written using LyX and translated with LyX2cnx.
