Yes, a good part of math export to docx is already there. > I can't comment here, but I think that it would be nice to have this, > and in many cases this might be absolutely essential, but it could be > addad at a later stage, when the basic round-trip features are in place. > But it should definitely be considered. This depends a bit on the future of the LyX file format: If the plans to go to XML are revived it might be a good idea to use MathML for math in .lyx files, and in this case one would implement the MathML reader in C++ in LyX. If MathML will not be used in .lyx files then it is probably better to implement a MathML2LaTeX python module and use that. Georg
