The internal converter has several advantages, in principle, over elyxer.
The basic one is that it knows everything that LyX knows about the document
being exported. For example, it has access to what LyX knows about i18n, so
it will happily output, e.g., Kapitel 1 in a German document, and so 
forth. It
also knows all about layout files, so if you define some custom 
character style,
LyX will be able to export it using whatever information you provided 
about how
it is to be displayed in LyX itself, even if you do not provide custom 
CSS (which

you can also do): We create default CSS based on the display information.

That's the basic reason, as Pavel said, that the LyX team decided the 
internal

approach was the right one. There are other reasons, too, but we needn't get
into them.

The basic one is that it knows everything that LyX knows about the document
being exported. For example, it has access to what LyX knows about i18n, so
it will happily output, e.g., "Kapitel 1" in a German document, and so 
forth. It
also knows all about layout files, so if you define some custom 
character style,
LyX will be able to export it using whatever information you provided 
about how
it is to be displayed in LyX itself, even if you do not provide custom 
CSS (which

you can also do): We create default CSS based on the display information.

That's the basic reason, as Pavel said, that the LyX team decided the 
"internal"

approach was the right one. There are other reasons, too, but we needn't get
into them.

It sounds very good.

By having strong LyX --> (X)HTML converter, my need to (re)consider
using some markup (AsciiDoc/reST ) language is diminishing rapidly. :-)

I assume it's written in C++ as the rest of the code, right?

Yes. But it's all very modular, as the rest of the code is, so it's fairly
easy to mess with different parts.

In the reST/Sphinx arena, we came to know that rst2pdf cannot do it as

 Regarding the visual appearance, then, I should say that LyX's own
