Grrr, I tried to use "bind(...)" as a parameter and found out that this expression has the type "unspecified-1-2" ! > > Can you outline what you plan to do from here on in? > Phase 1: Finish extraction of SnippetConversion. Single responsibility of that class: collect LaTeX snippets and convert them to graphic files. Probably will use two start functions: start(...,callback) and startAndWait(...). Put most parameters into constructor of SnippetConversion (format, background color, fontscale, ...) Look into your problem about missing error feedback. Then test if old preview mechanism still works. Phase 2: Modify output_docbook() to collect LaTeX snippets for all math insets and use SnippetConversion to create PNG files at the end. Ask JosÃ, Chris and others what formats are needed, where to put the files, what to do with ascentfraction in Docbook and what font scale to use. Find reasonable defaults. Let Docbook users test the patch and convince lyx-devel to include it into 1.4 :-) Phase 3: Polish more Docbook features, maybe a special option dialog for Docbook, get equation numbering right, test with UserGuide converted to Docbook, contact db2latex developers for some fixes, ... Don't know about phase 3, but I would like to finish phase 1 and 2 just to fix some loose ends. Sounds ok? /Andreas
