Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to send this, so please forgive me it is my 
first time to try and submit a bug report.

this may be old news, I know
when exporting docbook documents LyX 1.2.1 and 1.2.0 before it uses <sect4><title> 
.... </title></sect4> instead of <para> </para>

fixing the sgml output is not simply a matter of replacing strings since LyX messes up 
the tags more when lists or other elements are embedded inside the paragraph.

I solved this problem by editing the layout/db_stdsections.inc file and changing the 
paragraph and subparagraph style definitions to

# Paragraph style definition
Style Paragraph
  LatexType             Paragraph
  LatexName             para
End

# Subparagraph style definition
Style Subparagraph
  LatexType             Paragraph
  LatexName             para
End

this of course means that paragraph and subparagraph will be the same in the sgml 
output, I found no equivalent to subparagraph in the docbook reference but maybe I 
didn't look hard enough.

another error LyX produces is putting the <toc></toc> tags for table of contents 
inside <bookinfo>,<articleinfo>,etc. tag, and within a paragraph.
the <bookinfo> <articleinfo> and all the other *info tags are not parents to <toc> it 
would be better to put it outside as a child of  the <book> or <article>, etc. tag
I've failed to find the intery for the table of contents in the layout files.

keep the good work and sorry for bothering you,
Alaa
