GSoC: Improved XHTML export and ePub support

Hi, I'm an computer science student at the Faculty of Computer Sciencehttp://www.fi.udc.es/ of the University of A Coruña http://www.udc.es/. I'm on my 4th year. I know how to format text with LaTeX (for my faculty projects and notes) and i have knowledge of python. I am not familiarized with C++

Re: GSoC: Improved XHTML export and ePub support

Would it be easier/better to have XML export and then use XSLT for XHTML/HTML/CSS and ePub conversions? Using XML as a go-between would require doing something about defining a stable schema, explicit or otherwise. I've a Python script to convert .lyx to XML with an implicit schema, but it's no

Re: GSoC: Improved XHTML export and ePub support

Absolutely, i didn't know about XSLT. i'm actually forking lyx. Then i'll take a look at the code in the repo. So, the problem is to find a schema for doing the translation between .lyx and XML. If you have a Python script that does .lyx - XML it's almost half work done. I think that looking and

Re: GSoC: Improved XHTML export and ePub support

I should add that I'm willing to help you familiarize yourself with XSLT, answer XSLT questions and so on. Then you might be better informed about how to attack this problem. You'd still need to talk to a proper LyX mentor. Nico --
