I see, thanks.

I don't think I'll write an exporter for LyX, but writing an export
plugin for Gnote or CherryTree can do great job. CherryTree is a
personal wiki with hierarchical page tree, links,tables, images, code
boxes, etc.

Maybe with a proper exporter and minor changes, CherryTree can serve as
a Mallard GUI. Personally, I don't see a reason why anyone should stick
to plain text or Emacs cryptic keystrokes, with all the modern GUI
technology we have today.

Maybe I'll try things when I have more free time.
