Yes, and still working on it. For plain vanilla books, LyX does a fantastic job for exporting to XHTML (and from there to ePub). But there are a couple of sticking points that aren't quite as polished yet (mostly due to limitations in the current ePub). Specifically: EndNotes and Footnotes are a mess. I'm a little curious as to how eLyXer handles them. I've written some preliminary support into the branch of LyX I hack on (https://launchpad.net/lyx-outline). When specified, it converts FootNotes to EndNotes and places them at the end of the file with a link. I'd be interested in other strategies for dealing with the content. The other thing that I need to add is a method for resampling and downsizing images, so that you can use LyX to target both Web and Print from the same copy. Right now, I've been doing that via branches. (With slightly different layouts for both.) But this results in some duplicated text, which I consider to be a bad thing. Eventually, I would like to build in native support for ePub right into LyX. We've got most of the machinery all ready, but just need to add a UI to it. Unfortunately, real world work has forced me away from side projects, but it's something that I'm definitely working on. Cheers, Rob
