anyone use lyx for docbook?
I am looking for information on how to apply Lyx to produce DocBook documents. A simple example with a floating figure with a cross-reference would help. The above scenario should be trivial but I have spent more time than I care to admit trying to achieve it. Google and man pages are my sources but information specific to Lyx as applied to DocBook is scarce. In the end, it looks like it might be incomplete or broken. Best Regards, David Koski [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: docbook and graphics within floating figure
I worked arround the errors by writing a script that cleaned
the xml output of Lyx such that it changed "inlinemediaobject"
instances to "mediaobject". Furthermore, I had to create floating
figures with the title on top instead of the bottom. Also,
'lang="en_US"' had to be changed to 'lang="en"'.
I take it the docbook XML feature of Lyx is seldom if ever used.

docbook and graphics within floating figure
I am a new Lyx user using Debian 4.0, Lyx 1.4.3 and am trying to insert
a graphic image within a floating figure in a Docbook (xml) document.
My "Document Class" is set to "DocBook book (SGML)" and I am exporting
to "Docbook (XML)" but I get errors:
book.xml:16:18:E: document type does not allow element "inlinemediaobject"
here; assuming missing "title" start-tag
openjade:/home/users/dkoski/cvs/sutinen/doc/backup-with-bru-book/book.xml:28:20:E:
document type does not allow element "title" here
openjade:/home/users/dkoski/cvs/sutinen/doc/backup-with-bru-book/book.xml:28:70:E:
end tag for "title" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified
My first line of defense (google and man pages) was to no avail. In fact
I found very little information that was relevant except for how to do
what I had already done. By trial and error (and examining the xml output
of Lyx) I found that I could insert a graphic successfully outside a
floating figure if I appended a label. The same method failed for floating
figures. I found it odd that this seemingly trivial task would be so
difficult to achieve. If the two problems are related, I suspect it has
to do with the placement of a para tag. But this really has me stumped.
The Lyx code is below followed by xml exported output from Lyx.
Any help appreciated,

docbook and tables
Hello, I have installed lyx 1.2.0 on SuSE with all the related packages (docbook, sgmltools, jade, tex, etc.) that come with 7.3 but after importing a latex document with floats, the db2dvi produces errors: document type does not allow element "PARA" here The document is a docbook book. After replacing the tables with non-floating tables the error went away. Is it possible with lyx/db2dvi for this to work? Best Regards, David Koski [EMAIL PROTECTED]

lyx -> docbook -> rtf, etc.
Hello, Anyone using lyx to produce docbook to convert to rtf, or pdf? I haven't had much success. David Koski [EMAIL PROTECTED]
exporting docbook has tag errors
Hello,
When exporting docbook from lyx I get a nice file.sgml document but when
I execute "db2tex file.sgml" there are errors with the sgml tags that are
produced by lyx. For example:
jade:kos.sgml:39:38:E: end tag for element "ANCHOR" which is not open
jade:kos.sgml:39:71:E: end tag for element "ANCHOR" which is not open
jade:kos.sgml:100:39:E: character data is not allowed here

version of lyx: lyx-1.1.6fix2-86
It appears that the tags are not properly formed. For example:
line 39:
I have installed sgml, lyx, docbook and related packages on my SuSE 7.2
system and upgraded the same from SuSE 7.3 online so they are fiarly
recent. Any clues appreciated.
TIA,
