That's at least my intention. The question is, of course, how much .tex will be retained even in the new XMLish .lyx. In order to avoid regressions we'd e.g. need a flawless .tex -> .lyx -> .tex roundtrip for math, which is easiest achieved by storing the .tex represantation in the .lyx - at least as a temporary solution until we understand how .tex <-> MathML can be done without loss. > OK, but (just as a thought) I don't see the point in saing that .lyx -> > .tex is a conversion, since it is a vital part of lyx.
