Sure. In a more general sense this would be metadata as well: It would not be used by LaTeX, but preserve LyX stuff through roundtrip. > This feature should be customizable, because sometimes you don't want > disabled branches in an exported file. > > On the LaTeX->LyX route, the use of the comment package and custom (named) > comment environments should translate to LyX branches. Yes, this would be one method to transport metadata through LaTeX which does not need an additional file. It could probably be used for other stuff besides branches or notes as well. When this project is started it needs probably a thorough investigation whether an additional file or special comments are preferrable. Georg
