If "how much LaTeX knowledge is needed for LyX" were the question asked by a math exercise, then "how many styles do you need to add/change" would be the "given" part of the exercise. People who simply use their document class's styles and nothing more need absolutely no LaTeX knowledge. People who add lots of styles and extensively change the document class's styles need extensive LaTeX knowledge. Those in between those extremes need moderate LaTeX knowledge. > If latex is required, then it's my > opinion that lyx itself isn't quite ready for ebook publishing. Why? If you already know LaTeX, or can reasonably learn it, why penalize yourself by banning your own use of LyX? Personally, I think people are a lot smarter than Gates, Balmer and Jobs tried to convince us we were. Gates, Balmer and Jobs had a financial incentive to convince us we're dumb, and hence their opinions aren't reliable. > However, that does not mean I will not use it. Excellent! SteveT
