Ken,
where is the missing link :-)-O?
This is great news.
I am actually waiting for 2.4 and DocBook to convert my 859
page "handbook" to EPUB so my staff and I can carry it around on our
Kindles (App on iPad actually).
But, I would be very keen to see how your package works.
My little handbook doesn't really need anything fancier than a few
images (JPG, PNG and PDF).
I also use (in one (common) "include.tex") something like
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\newbool{business}
\boolfalse{business}
\newbool{private}
\booltrue{private}
but if that (see your below remark) were not to work I can address that
via a Makefile and different include (front matter) files as you seem to
be doing.
Maybe you can look into that, because then you can have a single include
file by putting something like this into a Makefile
bus:
@perl -i -p \
-e 's/\\boolfalse\{business\}/\\booltrue\{business\}/g;' \
-e 's/\\booltrue\{private\}/\\boolfalse\{private\}/g;' \
include.tex
@lyx -f -e pdf5 handbook.lyx
priv:
@perl -i -p \
-e 's/\\booltrue\{business\}/\\boolfalse\{business\}/g;' \
-e 's/\\boolfalse\{private\}/\\booltrue\{private\}/g;' \
include.tex
@lyx -f -e pdf5 handbook.lyx
and then use something like
\ifbool{business}{}{\include{business.tex}}
\ifbool{private}{\include{private.tex}}{}
as ERT.
Looks complicated, is complicated, but once it works no further
touching required.
In the meantime I have pulled
http://www.editorium.com/ftp/LyXBookSampler.zip
from
https://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Layouts
and will start some RTFM :-)-O
greetings, el

I love using LyX with the LyXBook theme (as it has the greatest number
of paragraph formats), and I am able to set up a system of files,
having different Front Matter versions.

I know that the next version of LyX is supposed to produce EPUB,

As one final problem, the LyXHTML export fails to include anything in
the LaTeK code blocks,
