This completes the major infrastructure for HTML output. Few of the
insets work yet, but it handles everything else reasonably well, even
tough files like development/HTML/depth.lyx. (The output from that one
validates.) I'm sure there are bugs somewhere though. The nesting thing
can probably go wrong, in particular.
Anyone who wants to do so is now welcome to contribute to this by
working on one or more of the insets that still need work, or by
providing layout information, CSS, etc, for the things that still need
it. See the HTML.notes file for details. In many cases, you can just
copy the docbook() routine, rename it to xhtml(), and make some minor
modifications. I'd particularly appreciate help with graphics and
tables. (It would be those two, right?)
There are also just a lot of questions about how to handle various
things, so I'd welcome any thoughts about that. E.g., what should we do
with InsetInclude? Include it? Export it separately and link to it? Or
maybe one if it's input and one if it's included? Or should there be
some sort of setting?
Then there's math. Here there are three options: (i) try to do
everything in XHTML with entities and the like; (ii) use MathML; (iii)
use little pictures. As I see it, (i) would be great, but it has obvious
limitations; (ii) probably has similar limitations, in the handling of
macros, in particular, and it's probably just as much work; (iii) is the
only way to be sure of getting proper output, but the images don't scale
well, etc, etc.
Of course, we could implement more than one of these if we wanted.
Opinions?
