Ah, I had not seen that.

You are right. Strangely we have support for db2html but none of the others. I tried to test docbook_article with db2pdf and I get errors. Here are a few: openjade:/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.n10355/lyx_tmpbuf2/docbook_article.sgml:113:68:E: element "DUMMY" undefined openjade:/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.n10355/lyx_tmpbuf2/docbook_article.sgml:114:6:E: element "DUMMY" undefined openjade:/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.n10355/lyx_tmpbuf2/docbook_article.sgml:114:83:E: end tag for "FOOTNOTE" which is not finished openjade:/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.n10355/lyx_tmpbuf2/docbook_article.sgml:121:89:E: element "DUMMY" undefined openjade:/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.n10355/lyx_tmpbuf2/docbook_article.sgml:121:169:E: end tag for "FOOTNOTE" which is not finished support/Systemcall.cpp (277): Systemcall: 'db2pdf "docbook_article.sgml"' finished with exit code 8 Error: Cannot convert file ---------------------------------------- An error occurred while running: db2pdf "docbook_article.sgml" Note that I can export docbook_article with sgmltools. Does db2pdf work for you? If so, I can send a patch to add support but I will not be able to test it (at least not with docbook_article because of the errors above) so could you test it (assuming db2pdf works for you)? > I agree that my explanation is a bit cryptic at points so I can expand > further if you want to. Your explanation here is very clear. Thanks, Scott
