Hi, Michael.

You need to write a post-processor to superficially modify the
LyX-generated
LaTeX file so that it is digestible by your colleagues.

Shove this into "prettify_latex.sed" and invoke as
sed -f prettify_latex.sed yourfile.tex > yourfile_prettified.tex

s/\\[/\\begin{align}/g
s/\\]/\\end{align}/g
s/\(\\begin{align}\)/\
\1/g
s/\(\\end{align}\)/\1\
/g

You'll probably need to play around a bit. The stuff above isn't tested
;-)

Angus
