+First, let us a say a few words about how one ought to think about the relation
+ between LyX and LaTeX.
+ The thing to understand is that, in a certain sense, LyX doesn't know anything
+ about LaTeX.
+ Indeed, from LyX's point of view, LaTeX is just one of several
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+backend formats
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ in which it is capable of producing output.
+ Other such formats are DocBook, plaintext, and XHTML.
+ LaTeX is, of course, a particularly important format, but very little of
+ the information LyX has about LaTeX is actually contained in the program
+ itself.

+Some commands are sufficiently complex that they are
+\begin_inset Quotes eld

+ But the developers generally regard this as a Bad Thing.

- preprint, etc, and all the commands needed to realize that format.
- A layout file is a LyX file that corresponds to a LaTeX document class
- and that tells LyX how to

+ Similarly, LyX itself does not know much about DocBook or XHTML.

+\begin_layout Standard
+You can think of the layout file for a given document class as a translation
+ manual between LyX constructs---paragraphs with their corresponding styles,
+ certain sorts of insets, etc---and the corresponding LaTeX, DocBook, or
+ XHTML constructs.
+ Almost everything LyX knows about
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code

- things on the screen to make the display look something like the final
- printed page.
- More precisely, a layout file describes a
-\begin_inset Quotes eld
-\end_inset

+\end_layout
-text class

\end_inset
- which is the internal construct LyX uses to render the screen display.

+\begin_layout Standard
+Defining the LyX--LaTeX correspondence is not the only thing layout files

+ Their other job is to define how the LyX constructs themselves will appear

+Tags for XHTML output
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+As with LaTeX or DocBook, the format of LyX's XHTML output is also controlled
+ by layout information.
+ In general, LyX provides sensible defaults and, as mentioned earlier, it
+ will even construct default CSS style rules from the other layout tags.
+ For example, LyX will attempt to use the information provided in the
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
-Conglomerate
+Font
\end_layout
\end_inset
-, describing the rendering style used for the inset's frame and buttons.
- Footnotes generally use
+ declaration for the Chapter style to write CSS that will appropriately
+ format chapter headings.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+In many cases, then, you may not have to do anything at all to get acceptable
+ XHTML output for your own environments, custom insets, and so forth.
+ But in some cases you will, and so LyX provides a number of layout tags
+ that can be used to customize the XHTML and CSS that are generated.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Note that there are two tags,
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
-Classic
+HTMLPreamble
\end_layout
\end_inset
-, ERT insets generally
+ and
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
-Minimalistic
+AddToHTMLPreamble
\end_layout
\end_inset
-, and character styles
+ that may appear outside style and inset declarations.
