It should be said that lyx has changed a lot in between. In some ways the work done in general has simplified the work to produce a decent docbook output. Some examples of this: - the distinction between "Plain Layout" and "Standard" layouts can simply the export code for tables a lot. - the flexibility of layout files has increased a lot. - logical character styles (flex) I will try to see what can be done to replace your lyxtolyx script. It should be a lot easier now than it was before. > -- > Regards > > Chris Karakas -- José Abílio
