Thanks to Jose Abilio Oliveira Matos who helped me a lot, I can tell you
that you can export as DocBook. If you don't find the "SGML (DocBook
article)" class defined in the layout->document class list, it means
that all you need is not installed. If it is already defined, write your
lyx document with this class, and export as DocBook.
If it is not defined, you can do the following:
1- Install what is missing. I think you need to have:
a. The DocBook stuff:
* the docbook package,
* the nwalsh modular stylesheets,
* the ISO character entities.
b. The jade package.
c. SGMLtools version 3.0.
2- When everything is installed, set the SGML_CATALOG_FILES correctly to
the catalogs path of the installed packages. At this step you should
check that your install is ok (jade and sgmltools).
3- Reconfigure LyX (options->reconfiguration, exit from lyx, restart
lyx).
4- The "SGML (DocBook article)" should be listed now. If everything is
ok, you can create a doc with this style and:
* view as DVI, PostScript,
* export as DVI, ps, DocBook, HTML.
However I don't know whether you can import SGML files in LyX.
Bye,
