As far as I understand it, there is no way to set the format from LyX (either the GUI or the code outside TextClass: no setter method for this field, it is only set when reading the LyX file). The same holds for outputType, by the way. I have yet to see a LyX file using these, also… The only occurrences I can find in the Git repository are in the documentation. > > Nothing is set as "Default output format" either (and the dropdown list > only > > shows Default and LyXHTML ??? this version of LyX doesn't seem to find my > > LaTeX installation???). > > We can look later.

Actually, the type now gets translated into DocBook, so it does not really make sense not to show it in some cases. I can't find what GuiRef::nameAllowed actually refers to… The goal is really to have a standard LyX document (i.e. almost nothing specific to DocBook), but still be able to output DocBook files and retain as much as possible of LaTeX/LyX feature set. (LyX is not a DocBook editor, doesn't have the required concepts, they are very far away from the current editor and its philosophy, and there is already excellent software to edit DocBook.) Therefore, I suppose that a lot of this code can be deleted.
