The main output routines now more or less work.

the <hr />, but isn't there a better solution? There's actually a LyX bug here,
I think, since a line surely ought not appear in a normal paragraph?

These insets are basically done, though there are probably issues here and there,
and there are even some FIXMEs:
- Bibitem, Branch, Collapsable, Footnote, Hyperlink, Label, Line, Note,
- Newline, Newpage, Quotes, Space, SpecialChar
+ Bibitem, Branch, Caption, Collapsable, Footnote, Hyperlink, Include, Info,
+ Label, Line, Listings, Marginal, Note, Newline, Newpage, Quotes, Space,
+ SpecialChar, Wrap
These insets do nothing for XHTML:
ERT, OptArg, Phantom
These insets work but still need work:
- InsetBibtex: There are a few issues here. One is that the output is not very
- nice. This will be solved, though, by a patch of mine I seem to have forgotten
- to finish. To get output that accorded with the BibTeX style, of course, we'd
- have to parse the bbl file. I don't know if that's worth it.
- Another issue concerns cross-references. At the moment, we simply use the
- xref information for every entry, rather than listing the xref separately and
- then referencing it. That should not be terribly hard, but it would take a bit
- of work.
- InsetBox: We need a Length::asHTML() method and the like, but it basically works.
- though the CSS isn't there yet.

+ of InsetBibtex so we could do it before we print the citations. See below.
+ InsetBox: The CSS isn't there yet.
InsetCitation: This has two limitations as of 11 VI 2009. The first is that we
ignore the citation style and output square brackets, no matter what. The
second is that, with BibTeX, we simply use the BibTeX key as the citation
BibTeXInfo::label() method. A similar strategy will work for author-year and
the like, but calculating labels will be more complex---unless we just parse
the bbl file, which of course is the only fully general solution.
+ InsetFlex: I think this one is OK, but it needs some testing.
+ InsetFloat: This seems to work OK, but it will need testing and tweaking.
-These insets do not work but should be completely straightforward:
- Caption, Flex (uses collapsable)
-
+These insets do not work and are not yet scheduled to work:
+ InsetExternal: It may be that this won't be too hard, but I don't understand
+ these so am not sure what to do. For now, it is disabled.
+ InsetIndex and InsetPrintIndex: An "advanced" case. What really would be cool
+ would be to collect all of these and then write the index as a series of links
+ back to the occurrences. But not now.
+ InsetNomencl and InsetPrintNomencl: Also "advanced".
May need to make use here of TocWidget::itemInset, which should then be moved
to TocBackend.
These do not yet work and need some attention:
- InsetCommand: By default does nothing. That may be right?
- InsetExternal: I don't understand these so am not sure what to do.
- InsetFloat: This will need some work, again because I do not really understand
- what these are meant to do. Presumably, we'll just use a div or something, but
- it's not clear what subfloat means, etc.
InsetGraphics: This should be fairly straightforward, but I'll need to learn a bit
about export formats, etc, to get it completely right. We'll also want to make
some use of the params, eg, on width and height. I guess there is also some
issue about converting the graphics formats?
- InsetInclude: I think we just want to include it, straightforwardly. Probably will
- base this more on the latex() routine, then. Another possibility, maybe with a
- flag of some sort, would be to do it as a separate file, to which we link.
- InsetIndex and InsetPrintIndex: An "advanced" case. What really would be cool
- would be to collect all of these and then write the index as a series of links
- back to the occurrences. But not now.
- InsetInfo: Probably skip it.
- InsetListings: Probably just output it as <pre>.
- InsetMarginal: Fine, but will need CSS.
- InsetNomencl and InsetPrintNomencl: Also "advanced".
InsetRef: Presumably, this is an internal link. But what should the text be, and how
should we get it? Probably some validation thing again, where labels tell us where
they are. Alternatively, we could parse the aux file.
InsetTabular: This shouldn't be too hard, but will need doing.
- InsetTOC: Here again, validation might do the trick, but I'm not sure. Or perhaps some
- kind of post-processing? Another option, maybe the best option, would be just to use
- the information we already have in the TOC.
- InsetVSpace: This will be easy, once we have the Length::asHTML() method.
- InsetWrap: This should be simple enough, probably a div and some CSS, but I'm not sure
- precisely what this is supposed to do.
+ InsetTOC: We should just be able to use what we have in the TOC. To get links to
+ work, though, we'll need to co-ordinate the writing of anchors in the sections,
+ which won't actually happen until later.
MATH
Regarding math, the view seems to be that we should in the first instance just use what
