The point being that authors should concentrate on content and logical markup, and typesetters/publishers should worry about how the final thing looks? Kind of (but not exactly) like the separation between HTML and CSS? I'm wearing my typesetting hat at the moment, so does that mean that Lyx isn't really suitable for me - it's more designed for content creators? I've been looking at the "memoir" class and pure LaTeX and managed to do some tweaks to the output. I'm doing a collection of short stories so "chapters" is a bit of a misnomer, and each one has a different author which makes things a bit complicated. But I think I'm getting there. Thanks for the other info about layout files etc. I don't really mind how it looks in LyX itself, so it seems like the book.cls file is the one to check out. Seems like a steep learning curve, so thanks for getting me started! Paul.
