Subject: Re: DOCBOOK: Re: LyX with Docbook
Well, I'm pretty new at this - but here is what I have been ablt to piece together... LyX is indeed a LaTeX editor - but... you can set the editor to produce a DocBook article by using the Layout --> Document menu and setting the Document Class to be SGML(Docbook). By doing this, the file you create will still be in LaTex format, but with DocBook Article elements. When you update the document, you must save the changes in native LyX (LaTeX) mode and then you can export the file to DocBook. This creates an SGML file, which can now be processed using SGMLtools. LyX cannot directly read or import SGML files, nor can it directly "read" the DocBook DTD. It uses a layout file in which DocBook elements are defined as a Class and equated to LaTeX types, names, & parameters. The layout files are located in (on my system, YMMV) /usr/local/share/lyx/layouts. So, if you are a LaTeX guru you can write your own class file, or enhance an existing one.
