I'm afraid not. I don't know many xxx2docbook, but in any case there are troubles (even html2docbook). In fact the expected way is starting from SGML and publishing it in the other formats (HTML, DVI, etc.). Changing style from Komascript to DocBook within LyX is a good start but you need to rearrange the doc. Besides, that is really true that the publishing formats are not satisfying (expecially PDF) and need some tricky customization. If you want SGML to pure LaTeX translation there are some stylesheets (db2latex) but you need to customize them to have pretty output too. > (ii) What about images?

AFAIK the DocBook image support in lyx will change, but currently it only uses the <graphic> element. There is not extension to the pointed image file so that the expected format depends on the translation done (eps for jadetex/DVI, png or jpg for HTML). BG
