I don't know AsciiDoc, but know that Sphinx is not only for Python projects but also supports C and more. LyX currently does not import any of the two formats directly. However, I don't think it is necessary to use LyX at all. Rather I suggest tweaking in the Sphinx configuration file (and possibly using raw LaTeX in the source). Günter
