I actually found it using last night and began playing with it a little bit.

Well, it's doubtful that I'll ever do something *that* complicated :) I'm
only a sysadmin trying to write some local site documentation, and want to
webify it :)

This is where I get a little lost. I saw references to this in the l2h docs.
Unfortunately, my only experience with latex has been the last couple of months
since starting to use LyX. And even then, I haven't yet even looked at the
raw LaTeX code. I guess I'll have to start reading the LaTeX book pretty
soon :)

Don't think I'll need to worry about this too much. Though I do have
several tables, and those didn't seem to come out as well as I had hoped.
I was also a little disappointed at the default output of footnotes, but
maybe that's configurable on the command line.
Overall, though, it seems to do the trick, and is still better than hand
coding all that HTML after having written a perfectly good document in LyX :)
>Hope that helps.
Absolutely! And thanks for taking the time to respond, I really appreciate
how helpful everyone on this list is.
Thanks again,
