You've talked about HTML validation, which is great. But that was not my
question. I'm asking about the /transformation tool/ that was used to
create the HTML from XML/SGML. Greg and David have since emailed me and
pointed me to the DSSSL and XSLT files that need to be fixed.

LyX is not one of the accepted formats by the LDP. I'm sure you'll find
plenty of reasons why we don't use it in the archive.

Currently, we are suggesting to authors that they use linuxdoc, docbook, sgml oder xml, emacs with psgml mode - or whatever else is suggested in the Authors Guide. I propose that my above method be included in the recommended ones. It is a method that uses LyX and SGML, combined with a lot of improvements, like the one above.
We are telling authors in the author guide that they can use *whatever
they want* on their first document. A volunteer will then convert the
document to DocBook XML 4.2 (or LinuxDoc, whichever is preferred). The
document must then be maintained in DocBook. This can be done in either a
word processing program such as OpenOffice, or Abiword. More information
about editing tools that support DocBook can be found at:

PS Could you please turn your line wrap on? It makes it difficult to reply
to emails without it. Thanks.
