lyx 1.4.0 will write directly xml or sgml on demand, you ask. :-) Certainly if you have ert in sgml that not valid xml then you are in trouble, but this is the same with lyx and tex constructs when working with the latex backend. (Yes Richard, I know the difference between the backend and frontends ;-). Was this the comment you were waiting for? :-) > Best, > > Matej -- Josà AbÃlio
