No, I'm not saying that but since linuxdoc was derived from latex (those are
the historical roots) most of the documents that don't have any latex ert should
be very easy to translate to linuxdoc.
As could expect that doesn't apply to math stuff.
Also, if there is any person that show me an example of tables and graphics
in linuxdoc I will implement it for lyx. I have read the dtd and that wasn't
clear.

What you are talking will be possible as soon as lyx has a xml file format,
there are several tools to do that. A xml to xml is simple. Did you need that
feature? There are several things that can be done now, but that is not pretty...
What I am refering is the export of a linuxdoc document (and only those) as
linuxdoc.

Ok, I will do first the linuxdoc since it doesn't have figures it should be easier.
