Hi Ruben,

I'll give my opinion as a LyX user and as the maintainer of a large website 
(>200pages, >2000 distinct IP visits per day).

My answer -- It depends :-)

My site is primarily content and very little appearance, and different 
subsites have different "rules and customs". So I use Netscape Composer. If I 
wanted a website with an identical look and feel throughout, I'd probably use 
LyX with custom environments -- or maybe I'd use a product like Zope. If I 
were making a document that should be both HTML and paper or pdf, LyX would 
be an excellent choice.

I want a little too much control (alternatively called fine tuning) to author 
Troubleshooters.Com with LyX. But online docs that are also paper -- heck yes.

Steve
