LyX document's language was English (I have not change it) -- see
attached and result is still the same:
Converting from docbook to dvi
Calling db2dvi 'docbook_article.sgml'
OUTPUT FILE NAME IS docbook_article.dvi
jade:/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheets/nwalsh-modular/print/../common/dbl1ptbr.ent:73:23:E:
non SGML character number 259
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
Executing command: xdvi -paper us 'docbook_article.dvi'
file:docbook_article.dvi: No such file or directory
Does anybody have any idea, what's up?
Thanks
Matej

Introduction
\layout Standard
This file ilustrates the generation of docbook documents with LyX.
\layout Standard
This will improve as soon as new features are available.
\layout Section
Standard layouts
\layout Standard
One of the goals is the support, as much as possible, of layouts used in
other textclass, for compatibility purposes.
\layout Standard
Remember that this is work in progress, I would like to hear any comments,
good or
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
bad
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
\layout Subsection
Lists
\layout Standard
This is an example with several nested lists.
\layout Itemize
item 1
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate
item 2
\layout Description
new item
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate
collection
\end_deeper
\end_deeper
\layout Itemize
new set
\layout Subsection
Code
\layout Standard
Required steps to have a running lyx.
\layout Quotation
Be carefull with your own code.
\layout Quotation
The debugger.
\layout Code
cat > env.out
\layout Code
tar xvzf lyx.tgz
\layout Code
cd lyx-1_0_x
\layout Code
./configure
\layout Code
make
\layout Code
make install
\layout Subsection
Labels
\layout Standard
If a label is the first element in any layout, that label will be merged
with that element.
See as an example
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref[first-section]{first-section}
\end_inset
.
\layout Subsection
Fonts
\layout Standard
The only fonts supported are
\emph on
Emphasis
\emph default
and
\latex latex
<literal>SGML</literal>
\latex default
.
\layout Subsection
Figures
\layout Standard
One of the major changes in the docbook when compared with the linuxdoc
support are the figures support.
LyX only allows to view eps figures.
So you should have one of these if you want to take advantage of this feature.
\layout Standard
Notice that when the docbook code is exported the filename extension is
stripped.
This enables that when the several backends are processed in sgmltools,
the corresponding extensions are added.
The default extension are eps for the print and gif for the html backend.
\layout Standard
\begin_float fig
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Figure size 56 85
file /usr/share/lyx/doc/platypus.eps
width 1 2
height 1 3
angle 45
flags 2
\end_inset
\layout Caption
Nice platypus
\end_float
\layout Standard
Wide figures are treated as normal figures.

\end_inset
\layout Caption
long, very long...

\end_float
\layout Subsection
Tables
\layout Standard
There is also basic support for tables.
\begin_float tab

\layout Subsection
Margins

There are some restrictions when using margins.
For further information on docbook allowed syntax consult the
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url[docbook reference manual]{http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/}
\end_inset
.
\layout Quotation
It is also possible to insert margin notes inside some environments.
\begin_deeper
\layout SGML
\begin_float margin
\end_deeper
\layout Standard
margin note
\layout Standard
second par -> margin note
\layout Standard
third par -> margin note
\end_float
\layout Quotation
Notice that the previous layout is at level 1
\begin_float footnote
\layout Standard
This comes from a docbook restriction.
Sidebar can only appear inside "MSGTEXT", "CAUTION", "IMPORTANT", "NOTE",
"TIP", "WARNING", "BLOCKQUOTE".
\layout Standard
These environments are easily added to the docbook layout.
\end_float
and so is the follow:
\begin_deeper
\layout SGML
\begin_float margin
\end_deeper
\layout Standard
too marginal ;-)
\end_float
\layout Section
The road map
\layout Standard
This is a small list of the remaining tasks:
\layout Itemize
Expand the number of layouts
\begin_deeper
\layout Itemize

\layout Itemize

\layout Itemize
warning
\layout Itemize

\layout Itemize

\layout Itemize
Compose other layout files, besides article
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate

\layout Enumerate

\begin_float footnote
\end_deeper
\layout Standard
I do not expect lyx to deal with colection of books, for now!
\end_float
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate

\end_deeper
\layout Itemize
goodies
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate
including other lyx files
\layout Enumerate
more advanced tables support
\end_deeper
\layout Itemize
better documentation
\layout Standard
That's all.
