Doesn't help - everyone here uses TeX to some degree or other (yes, including the boss), and our TeXpert is working on these styles and conversions. TeX is a common source format, so introducing SGML would break that; LyX is "just another editor producing TeX source" as far as scripts are concerned, even though to users like me it may be much better Peter Lister [EMAIL PROTECTED]PGP (RSA): 0xE4D85541 Sychron Ltd http://www.sychron.com PGP (DSS): 0xBC1D7258 1 Cambridge Terrace Voice: +44 1865 200211 Oxford OX1 1UR UK FAX: +44 1865 249666

The possibility of running LyX without a GUI will not happen before LyX 1.2, since the GUI code is really mixed with the non-GUI code in 1.0.x. In the meantime, you can have a look at lyxexport http://rerumnatura.zool.su.se/stefano/software/ The page is unavailable at the time of this writing, but it contains a perl script which runs lyx and use the lyxserver machanism to trigger export to latex. It will not work without an X server, but it is better than nothing... JMarc

I need something that a Makefile can handle. Consider the possibility of using LyX in SGML mode. Layout->Document->Class->SGML There are not as many text styles available, but sufficient to produce satisfactory documents.
