Chris -- I've found your excellent http://www.karakas-online.de/mySGML/ -- thanks very much. (For lyx-users, this provides some shell scripts esp. "lyxtox" that drive several large engines.) Your approach is:

      We will put everything in a shell script. We don't want to
      bother about anything else. We want to ponder comfortably upon
      the meaning of life while drinking some coffee or tea, watching
      our computer do the work for us - personally, a very rewarding
      experience :-)

      We will use sed
      <http://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manual/sed.html> to correct
      LyX' SGML output. The more we are able to correct, the more SGML
      features we get out of our plain vanilla LyX.

      We use the sgmltools <http://www.sgmltools.org> package which
      hides a lot of details from the end user, giving nonetheless all
      the power of the involved tools.

      We will adapt the DocBook DSSSL stylesheets
      <http://docbook.sourceforge.net/projects/dsssl/> to our personal
      needs and taste.

      The end product shall be a directory ready to upload to our web
      server with all files, links, images and formats necessary.


It seems usable, but it's a substantial investment of time just to get the tools and configuration set up. Is this still the easiest way (in your opinion) to produce the various product files from LyX generated DocBook SGML? Any changes for recent LyX, esp 1.4?

Any comments would be appreciated.
