Hi, all.
I promise I'll be quiet after this post--I don't mean to pester (or imply
by any stretch that I'm unhappy with LyX in general!). But can anyone
comment on this?
For what it's worth, I really do like LyX, and I'm not trying to troll or
put on anyone. I'm just curious about the capabilities and hoping not a
little to spur its adoption among my general work populace.
Thanks again,
Ethan

Hi, all.
I figured I'd send a quick query to the list about using LyX with
Docbook/XML. I know there's been a little bit of traffic on this in the
past, but I haven't seen anything recently, and my searches online
haven't turned up much else, either.
We're in the process of evaluating some tools for transitioning our
documentation away from Frame, and my bid to use LaTeX with LyX as a
front-end and pdflatex/plastex as the backend didn't really gain much
traction.
My boss prefers to use Docbook--a number of our customers use it, and
it's an accepted standard in our industry. There are some commercial
products for Docbook editing that we're investigating, but I remembered
that LyX provides some support for it also.
I was able to make some HTML and PDFs out of the basic document I
created when using SGML tools, but I wasn't able to get similar results
from the exported XML. Some online reading leads me to believe that
this is a somewhat more difficult task than I'm really willing to
undertake, but I thought I would ask here. Is there a good workflow for
using Docbook/XML with LyX, or are we still kind of waiting on it?
Thanks much,
Ethan
