Most of the readers there are people who appreciate the help that comes from LyX. We are a litle bit biased, you know. ;-) > What's the biggest thing you want to change for LyX? The support for full docbook export, now the inline elements and the elements attributes are missing. Implementing in a way that is meaningful to both latex and docbook is a chalenge to make this support really general and not a hack to make it work for latex. As soon as we have this, I would like to clean the docbook code from the phew hardcoded places where we are assuming it and make LyX a full featured XML-editor. Docbook would then be one example of that support. To me XML allows the full separation between content and presentation possible and takes us to the next step in our WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean) philosophy. > How many people are working on LyX now and how is the work organized? > > If you could answer these questions even partially, it would be of great > help.

José Matos, my contribution goes to docbook and linuxdoc backend, but my interests are also into importing files to lyx, be it older lyx versions or latex or docbook. > Thank you all in advance for your help! > > Peace, > Brian Proffitt > LinuxPlanet.com -- José
