Probably because Michael wanted that the default should be changed from 3 to 5. Do others agree? Then I'll commit that. > > It should be "ps2pdf".

I think that we should also define one HTML format for each converter, because all of them have different strengths an weaknesses. > Thanks for this info.

BTW, the items you will find in the Export and View menus are generated from the available formats that have a conversion path from latex -> format (or docbook -> format). You can see the available formats in lyxrc.defaults in your lyx installation directory. If you want to know what vievers and converters are searched, look at the script configure in the same directory. > This notation doesn't appear in the docs and I can't remember that I've > see it before.

This is for example useful if you are not yet sure how big your default skip will be. Unfortunately only xforms users can do that from the GUI, qt users need to edit the .lyx file by hand :-( > The dialog Layout/Documents also don't have a defskip for paragraph > separation. It should probably have one. Georg
