It sounds a bit over-designed, perhaps, but we could define a set of content types, and have simple converters between them . We could even do this generically enough to allow decent cut and paste between separate lyx / X apps at last ... maybe. Then simply a paste into an area checks what the allow type is, asks for some version of the current selection (with a simple aSCII rendering being a fallback or whatever). This could be useful for drag-and-drop of references etc. too perhaps. john
