It will likely create some ugly strings full of tags into our .po files. Pavel

As per the HTML, if this is the standard for LyX then let's go for it.
As per the rephrase, I'm ok with removing the "unless you know...", feel free
to commit.
Thanks,

There's an extra space before the question mark (?). However, I would suggest removing
"unless you know what you are doing" from the message to make it stronger, i.e.
Unchecking this option has the effect that potentially harmful converters would
be run without asking your permission first. This is UNSAFE and NOT
recommended. Are you sure you would like to proceed? The recommended and safe
answer is NO!
And actually, I wouldn't mind making the warning even stronger:
Unchecking this option is UNSAFE and NOT RECOMMENDED. With this option unchecked LyX
will NOT EVEN ASK you for permission before executing converters that might be
potentially harmful to your computer system. Please read
for more information.
Are you sure you would like to proceed? The recommended and safe answer is NO!
The above would of course mean that we also need to add a section to the user
guide or something.
Hmm... could we suggest asking the users' list for advice?

Thanks. HTML maybe?
