[About the idea of a compilation shellscript, Lorenzo said...]
A solution of this kind could work well, but remove the thing that
makes LyX so convenient: one click compile and show.
I can't speak for Windows, but in Linux I use shellscripts to compile
all my books, and it works perfectly. I just run the shellscript and it
runs lualatex, and watermarks my PDF. It could just as easily run a
postprocessor. If I wanted to make it "one click", I'd just assign it
an icon on my desktop.
I'm on linux too, but what i meant was that sometimes it's nice to only
have to use the "eyes" button in the top right.
I hear Windows has Powerscript now.
We really need a
robust LyXHTML output, and I don't think it's that far away.
Right now the devs lack the manpower to tackle LyXHTML problems fully,
but I believe it's also a matter of demand. It's nice to see there are
people on lyx-users asking about it.
If manpower's so short and it's moving so slowly, perhaps we should just
fix things post-conversion. I have about 3 hours a week to devote to it,
and I'm pretty conversant with the xml.etree.ElementTree XML parser for
Python. It sounds like you know what should go in an HTML/ePub
document. If we get a couple more people with Python and document
expertise, we could fix this, as long as the LyX->HTML export remains
well-formed XML.
I bet maybe four of us could get this done in 3 months, no C++ required.

Sorry, but I would much prefer to just work on the code, this seems to
me not necessarily easier than fixing LyX directly, which would be the
preferred solution in the long run.
