I know, and I am also interested in solving it. :-) It is also a question of timeframe. As you have seen in this thread LyX 1.4 is in the development for more than a year, and we would like to release it asap. For this to happen we are entering a period of code stabilization before its release. In this case (id in title versus id in table) the correct solution, IMHO, is to throw the id of title and catching it somewhere above. For this change to take effect I would need to change the code in several places. I think that this will require some time to get it right. Until the moment all you request you made were easy to deal, with few changes here and there, and voilá... ;-) For now I would prefer to fix all the easy bits at once, test them and guarantee that the next LyX version work out of the box for most systems. And where it does not work there is an easy fix for the user to apply. Note that some of the transformations that needs to be done to get a good output, such as the support for math using the DBTeXMath could be done now using some of the "services" that LyX provides. This will demand very few, and very localised, changes to the source code so potencially less disruptive. For the next development cycle I want to take all the remain issues in a direct way so that an external script is no longer needed. Summarizing it is just a matter of compromise. Does this makes sense for you? PS: Thanks to your input the next LyX version will certainly be the best for docbook export that ever was released. Also looking to the remaing bits I am convinced that this will be the best release until the moment, no doubts. :-) > Chris -- José Abílio LyX and docbook, a perfect match. :-)
