Yeah, I know about that, but mentioned it's not Python 'cause many
projects nowadays choose reST/Sphinx which is de-facto becoming standard
tool within Python community.

 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).

You're right. After playing some time with AsciiDoc -- PDF (via
dblatex), it seems that the end result is good-enough so that, in this
case, there is really no need for LyX.

 We're considering which markup to use for writing user's manual for a
 multi-platform desktop application.

 It should produce nice HTML output which can be invoked from within
 application as 'help' file and it should be possible to generate
 hight-quality PDF output by importing it into LyX for final tweaking.

 We're considering two systems:

 a) AsciiDoc and

 b) reStructuredText/Sphinx

 and wonder which one would you recommend as more suitable for importing
 into Lyx?

 Let me say that, in general, I'm not fan of DocBook as authoring format,
 but believe that one can escape fiddling with it when using AsciiDoc and
 another thing is that the project will not be coded in Python (we'll use
 D).

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
