More than a class, it is a property from the backend. Docbook, in this case. This affects the validation of all docbook documents, be it article, book, set, chapter or whatever. > b) a document No way. :-) > c) a converter All the tools I know work only for valid documents.

Don't forget that we need to pass that option to lyx. > a) and b) can be combined easily, although b) needs a new dialog. > For c) there already is an entry for extra flags in the dialog for > converter definition, but that is independent of the .layout file. > > c) overrides b) overrides a) ?

What is the logic behind? What about the upper part of the ascii table. I think that in a sane way there only three or four option.
