- For example, you will note that there is no `LyX to PostScript®' converter,

-The external material feature is based on the concept of a
-\emph on
-template
-\emph default
-.
- A template is a specification of how LyX should interface with a certain
- kind of material.
- As bundled, LyX comes with predefined templates for Xfig figures, various
- raster format images, chess diagrams, and LilyPond music notation.
- You can check the actual list by using the menu
-\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+The following commands are available:

\end_layout
\end_inset
-.
- Furthermore, it is possible to roll your own template to support a specific
- kind of material.
- Later we'll describe in more detail what is involved, and hopefully you
- will submit all the templates you create so we can include them in a later
- LyX version.

\end_layout
-\begin_layout Standard
-Another basic idea of the external material feature is to distinguish between
- the original file that serves as a base for final material and the produced
- file that is included in your exported or printed document.
- For example, consider the case of a figure produced with
+\end_inset
+
+,
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
-Xfig
+black
\end_layout
\end_inset
-.
- The Xfig application itself works on an original file with the
+,
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
-.fig
+white
\end_layout
\end_inset
- extension.
- Within XFig, you create and change your figure, and when you are done,
- you save the
+,
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
-fig
+red
\end_layout
\end_inset
--file.
- When you want to include the figure in your document, you invoke
+,
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
-transfig
+green
\end_layout
\end_inset
- in order to create a PostScript file that can readily be included in your
- LaTeX file.
- In this case, the
+,
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
-.fig
+blue
\end_layout
\end_inset
- file is the original file, and the PostScript file is the produced file.
-\end_layout
+,
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
-\begin_layout Standard
-This distinction is important in order to allow updating of the material
- while you are in the process of writing the document.
- Furthermore, it provides us with the flexibility that is needed to support
- multiple export formats.
- For instance, in the case of a plain text file, it is not exactly an award-winn
-ing idea to include the figure as raw PostScript®.
- Instead, you'd either prefer to just include a reference to the figure
- or try to invoke some graphics to Ascii converter to make the final result
- look similar to the real graphics.
- The external material management allows you to do this, because it is parameter
-ized on the different export formats that LyX supports.
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+cyan
\end_layout
-\begin_layout Standard
-Besides supporting the production of different products according to the
- exported format, it supports tight integration with editing and viewing
- applications.
- In the case of an XFig figure, you are able to invoke Xfig on the original
- file with a single click from within the external material dialog in LyX,
- and also preview the produced PostScript file with ghostview with another
- click.
- No more fiddling around with the command line and/or file browsers to locate
- and manipulate the original or produced files.
- In this way, you are finally able to take full advantage of the many different
- applications that are relevant to use when you write your documents, and
- ultimately be more productive.

-\begin_layout Description
-\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+\begin_layout Standard
+The use of material from sources external to LyX is covered in detail in
+ the
+\emph on

+\emph default
+ manual.
+ This part of the manual covers what needs to happen behind the scenes for
+ new sorts of material to be included.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Section
+How does it work?
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The external material feature is based on the concept of a
+\emph on
+template
+\emph default
+.
+ A template is a specification of how LyX should interface with a certain
+ kind of material.
+ As bundled, LyX comes with predefined templates for Xfig figures, various
+ raster format images, chess diagrams, and LilyPond music notation.
+ You can check the actual list by using the menu
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout

+External Material
\end_layout
\end_inset
- The text that is inserted in the exported document.
- This is actually the most important command and can be quite complex.
- This command must occur exactly once.
+.
+ Furthermore, it is possible to roll your own template to support a specific
+ kind of material.
+ Later we'll describe in more detail what is involved, and hopefully you
+ will submit all the templates you create so we can include them in a later
+ LyX version.
\end_layout
-\begin_layout Description
+\begin_layout Standard
+Another basic idea of the external material feature is to distinguish between
+ the original file that serves as a base for final material and the produced
+ file that is included in your exported or printed document.
+ For example, consider the case of a figure produced with
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
-Preamble
-\begin_inset space ~
-\end_inset
-
-<name>
+Xfig
\end_layout
\end_inset
- This command specifies a preamble snippet that will be included in the
- LaTeX preamble.
- It has to be defined using
+.
+ The Xfig application itself works on an original file with the
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
-PreambleDef
+.fig
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ extension.
+ Within Xfig, you create and change your figure, and when you are done,
+ you save the
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+fig
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+-file.
+ When you want to include the figure in your document, you invoke
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+transfig
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ in order to create a PostScript file that can readily be included in your
+ LaTeX file.
+ In this case, the
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+.fig
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ file is the original file, and the PostScript file is the produced file.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+This distinction is important in order to allow updating of the material
+ while you are in the process of writing the document.
+ Furthermore, it provides us with the flexibility that is needed to support
+ multiple export formats.
+ For instance, in the case of a plain text file, it is not exactly an award-winn
+ing idea to include the figure as raw PostScript.
+ Instead, you'd either prefer to just include a reference to the figure
+ or try to invoke some graphics to ASCII converter to make the final result
+ look similar to the real graphics.
+ The external material management allows you to do this, because it is parametri
+zed on the different export formats that LyX supports.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Besides supporting the production of different products according to the
+ exported format, it supports tight integration with editing and viewing
+ applications.
+ In the case of an Xfig figure, you are able to invoke Xfig on the original
+ file with a single click from within the external material dialog in LyX,
+ and also preview the produced PostScript file with Ghostview with another
+ click.
+ No more fiddling around with the command line and/or file browsers to locate
+ and manipulate the original or produced files.
+ In this way, you are finally able to take full advantage of the many different
+ applications that are relevant to use when you write your documents, and
+ ultimately be more productive.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Section
+The external template configuration file
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+It is relatively easy to add custom external template definitions to LyX.
+ However, be aware that doing this in an careless manner most probably
+\emph on
+will
+\emph default
+ introduce an easily exploitable security hole.
+ So before you do this, please read the discussion about security in section
+
+\begin_inset CommandInset ref
+LatexCommand ref
+reference "sec:Security-discussion"

-\begin_layout Enumerate
-Relative and absolute file names should remain relative or absolute, respectivel

-LaTeX treats relative file names differently than LyX and other programs

- the file name.
- For LaTeX, it is always relative to the master document.
- These two definitions are identical if you have only one document, but

-Notification
+\begin_layout Standard
+The external material feature interfaces with a lot of external programs
+ and does so automatically, so we have to consider the security implications
+ of this.
+ In particular, since you have the option of including your own filenames
+ and/or parameter strings and those are expanded into a command, it seems
+ that it would be possible to create a malicious document which executes
+ arbitrary commands when a user views or prints the document.
+ This is something we definitely want to avoid.

-LyX can notify clients of events going on asynchronously.
- Currently it will only do this if the user binds a key sequence with the
- function
-\begin_inset Quotes eld
-\end_inset
-
-notify
-\begin_inset Quotes erd
-\end_inset
+However, since the external program commands are specified in the template
+ configuration file only, there are no security issues if LyX is properly
+ configured with safe templates only.
+ This is so because the external programs are invoked with the
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
-.
- The format of the string LyX sends is as follows:
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+execvp
\end_layout
-\begin_layout Quote

+-system call rather than the
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
-NOTIFY:
+system
\end_layout
\end_inset
-
-\emph on
-key-sequence
+ system-call, so it's not possible to execute arbitrary commands from the
+ filename or parameter section via the shell.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
-where
-\emph on
-key-sequence
-\emph default
- is the printed representation of the key sequence that was actually typed
- by the user.
+This also implies that you are restricted in what command strings you can
+ use in the external material templates.
+ In particular, pipes and redirection are not readily available.
+ This has to be so if LyX should remain safe.
+ If you want to use some of the shell features, you should write a safe
+ script to do this in a controlled manner, and then invoke the script from
+ the command string.

-This mechanism can be used to extend LyX's command set and implement macros:
- bind some key sequence to
-\begin_inset Quotes eld
-\end_inset
-
-notify
-\begin_inset Quotes erd
-\end_inset
-
-, start a client that listens on the out pipe, dispatches the command according
- to the sequence and starts a function that may use LyX calls and LyX requests
- to issue a command or a series of commands to LyX.
-\end_layout
+It is possible to design a template that interacts directly with the shell,
+ but since this would allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary commands
+ by writing clever filenames and/or parameters, we generally recommend that
+ you only use safe scripts that work with the

+ have any questions about whether a given template is safe or not.
