I see..although for simple articles it might be "good-enough". In any case I want to simplify things here - LyX is great editor for LaTeX, although I was hoping to switch to ConTeXt, but simply do not have enough time to inverst in learning/mastering it... > The real problem is that, as far as I know, after more than 10 years, > LyX' html and xhtml exports change a lot of styles to appearances > prematurely.

Thank you for elaborating the issue which might be handy if I plan to write more semantically rich content in which case it is maybe better to just offer PDF output for download on the web site? > Things like indexing, references and bibliographies will present more > of a challenge, but geez, it's been ten years. :-) > From what I've seen of Markdown, anything from Markdown is going to be > pretty cookie-cutter.

I did explore both rst - which is a bit strange markup and Asciidoc(tor), but the spec is going to be written in Java which will bring another chain of deps. :-( By settling on LyX/LateX I'm sure I can, at least, produce high-quality PDF output for my articles, study-notes, book, slide presentations etc. and be sure they are going to be present in the foreseeable future which I am not so sure when it comes to e.g. ConTeXt. > You haven't said why you want HTML and PDF from the same document. I do *not* want HTML & PDF for the same document, but want to use the *same* editor for creating both HTML content (to be pasted into Tiki CMS) as well as PDF for everything else. ;) Sincerely, Gour -- As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death.
