Don't count on it. We have many reasons for not using the tex file format natively. For instance, LyX is storing some information for which no tex syntax exists (and which does not make sense for tex files). Also, LyX does not only output tex, but also DocBook and XHTML, for instance. So tex is just one output format, albeit the most frequently used (and the best working). It's more likely that LyX will change to some XML-kind of format eventually. Of course, we will try to improve the lyx<->tex import and export chain as much as possible. Jürgen
