Hi everyone!

I am a user of LyX, not a developer, but somehow I feel I must do things to contribute to it. So I want to open a thread about the .lyx format.

The question is why to have a .lyx format in plain text? Isn't xml a better one? I know plain text is easy to edit but we really doesn't work with it since LyX do this for us. The advantages would be obvious: Insertion/Deletion of metadata, a better way of handling everything, etc. This is my point of view, so I might be wrong but I doesn't feel like that.

Best Regards

Alex
