Ok, that confirms my findings. I believe OutputFormat can be used in layouts but never in .lyx file, thus it does not make sense to increase fileformat in order to delete it. Do we agree on this point or am I missing some reason why you want to have that lyx2lyx conversion routine? > Therefore, I suppose that a lot of this code can be deleted. Yes, once your patches are in we should get rid of those as well, I see you already sent severeal patches going in this direction, thanks :) Pavel -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
