Ok (I'm starting to remember now). Would you say the same holds for all the documenation (except that we should keep them as .lyx-files for now). > We have to eat our dog food in some way.

It's been a while since I actually used LyX to be honest, but I have a vague memory of it not being that fun to read stuff in LyX. Cant' remember why though.. one issue had to do with horizontal scrolling and long formulas I think. > Did you try to send a request on lyx-devel about writing a pmwiki->lyx > converter?

However, I just rememberd that I'm planning to convert the wiki from PmWiki-1 to PmWiki-2. This will mean a substantial change (read improvement) on the wiki markup, so there's not that much point in writing the converter before that. I actually started on the conversion process but found some annoying problems with PmWiki-2 (it's still in beta) so I stopped. /C -- Christian Ridderstr�m, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
