Since I publicized my blunder with the myHangIndent code not translating
well with latex2html, I've been doing some background study to
understand better the mistake. This morning I woke with this question.
Why did the original LyX author create his own layout format? Why didn't
he use the TeX standard sty or cls style? That way, LyX could use any
TeX sty or cls files and not have to build that intermediate lyx layout
representation of it.
I know there must be a good reason, but the more I try to learn a giant
style file from the Kluwer publishing company and translate it into a
lyx book layout, the more I wish I didn't have to do it at all. Since I
don't know TeX, it is extremely frustrating to translate TeX into LyX,
which I also don't know....
