Quite cleverly done. I believe that the version of Python distributed
with LyX should run eLyXer just fine.

This is the one I'm mostly interested on.

Any custom layouts are converted to custom CSS classes. You have
indeed good eyes.

Not so much.

Odd, captions should work fine. Again, please send me a sample
document if at all possible.

This is a design decision of Pavel Sanda (and for the record, I do not
agree with it):

There is the possibility of copying all referred image files, convert
them and then copy them back. This approach requires more work and I'm
still figuring it out.

The \unit tag is not supported yet. If you send me a sample doc I will
try to make it work.

Yes, I know I am requesting a lot of sample files from you; but that
is how eLyXer has improved until now, thanks to kind testers. You can
also join the hall of fame!
