Query the archieves. Many LyX users are confused by the fact that we provide
three different ways to get a PDF file. As long as you do not know the
difference between the choices, the choice is just irritating. You have to
know quite a bit about the converters to find the choice valuable. And then,
enabling a given converter is no big deal.
i was speaking about html converters.
I don't see why HTML converters are to be treated differently. For me,
bibliography converters are _much_ more important than HTML converters. OTOH I
have a whole lot of HTML converters installed simply because I have a TeXLive
full install. I do not use a single of them.
You see how subjective this question is?
I think Pavel's worry is that these additional options are buried in the
Preferences dialog somewhere, and the user may have no reasonable way to
discover them, except digging through. If so (and Pavel will tell us),
then what might make him happy would be some way of notifying the user,
at a sensible time, that alternatives exist. E.g., on reconfigure, if
we found a new converter option, we could tell the user that we had.
Something like that.
