You're right. I did ask on LyX list, but after playing a bit with
AsciiDoc I see that there is not much tweaking needed to get
high-quality output (via dblatex). :-)

I went quickly through user guide and I'be got a feeling that AsciiDoc
is much more powerful than reST, although not much more complex...I like
it. ;)

from Java tools...btw, lost all the hope in FOP long ago. :-)

So, here is the new  AsciiDoc user. ;)
