You are right. :-)

It more than that. It is a question of how you work. I love the
"Navigation" feature and the WYSIWYM concept of LyX - just like the
handling of footnotes is a bless. But the "spell check after you typed" I
do not like.

Sound good!

I guess I need more control..- ;-) I write the book in Docbook/XML and
publish it as HTML, PDF, Palm etc. But if I am going to make an English
Edition (I do not know if something like this allready exists?) I will
consider LyX. But then I will for sure need a new spell checker.. ;-)
