Any further work, no. :-) There is a bugzilla entry for that topic http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1233 Please feel free to add your suggestions there. > The upcoming (not yet :-) version V5 of TEI/DocBook will support some > kind of 'marriage' between the two, so I'd like to know if/how LyX can be > used. That is still vapour, but a nice move if it becomes real, and I would like it to succeed. :-) > The possible scenarios are: > > a) authoring TEI/DocBook in some XML editor --> import LyX --> high q. > output > > b) writing TEI/DocBook directly in LyX --> high quality output > > I'm sure (hope) I'm not the only one who needs source document in > TEI/DocBook, and do not want to use FO for paper output, but rather use > TeX typesetting system. Certainly not. > Any hint? There is some work to be done on the lyx side, and all the contributions are welcome. The next version, 1.4, has some work in that direction. Specifically the character styles allow inline elements to be supported in docbook. Also it is possible to specify the dtd to be used directly in the .layout files. The remaing bits, the support for the insets that lyx supports can be done using some kind of "flavours" dialect. I would say that simple support is possible easily, a more integrated scheme requires more work. I hope this answers your question. > Sincerely, > Gour -- Josà AbÃlio LyX and docbook, a perfect match. :-)
