i've done incorrect file, it's my fault if lyx crashes. i take my responsibility, no problem. trial method is the fastest if you want something quickly. > First make it correct and then make it fast. i have exactly oposite view as far as the tweaking i was talking about is concerned; i just need quickly output of something, may be i will throw it away after few days. or take Steve's example - if he takes your 'First make it correct and then make it fast' it would take some two weaks to invent some beast to be correct in your sense. but then the whole point is lost, since after this time he could do it manually. i guess we can't agree on this, since i'm not talking about lyx internals, while your job is to make lyx format conversions on lyx level... but this is users list, not the the devel one, so i feel free to speak this way :) pavel
