Yes, that's precisely why I started this. My particular goal is to map to he xml2rfc schema. I already have an XSL for doing that, but I depend on LyXHTML output and there's much about LyXHTML that leaves me unsatisfied -- a more faithful schema would make my task much simpler. Also, with a decent XML->.lyx XSL I could also map back from xml2rfc schema, which is also a goal of mine. I actually want to produce and contribute the following: - lyx2xml -- a script for converting .lyx to XML - xml2lyx -- an XSL for converting XML back to .lyx - an XSL for turning LyX XML into a more structure schema, from this: <layout name="Section>Section title</layout> <!-- section contents follows --> to this: <section title="Section title"><!-- section contents --></section> - an XSL to flatten the same and return to the native LyX XML schema Nico --
