heh, you didn't get the point ;) to sumarize: - lyx already produce docbook xml. but in older format. - people spend lot of time to write quite complex web guides how to setup things and fix issues for new docbook format but never share their wisdom with lyx developers. either in contribution to lyx documentation or in stating what needs to be changed in lyx output. - no lyx dev seems to be motivated to study docbook xml so although we think that the upgrade would be simple, until we know what exactly should change, things will stay as they are now :) pavel
