Mike, I REALLY appreciate your making easy to edit file format as a goal. I'd estimate that half my full-length LyX projects involve editing either with Vim or with a Perl script. Most of my books start as a VimOutliner outline, which then is converted by an awk script to LyX native format so that I can handle my book's structure and even some text in VimOutliner, and when the structure's correct, move it into LyX. All these things require an easy to edit LyX native file format. Thanks SteveT Steve Litt Recession Relief Package http://www.recession-relief.US Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/stevelitt
