True. (-: It'd be nice if the structure were documented somewhere, though - whenever I want to write software that generates LyX files, I have to reverse-engineer the format by inspecting various LyX files. At least, if I'm using software that's a version or two behind, a later LyX will generally happily read an "older format" LyX file with just a few warnings. -- Mark
