I haven't actually run lyx (since it didn't support my toolset), but had
subscribed to their mailing list for quite a while to stay in touch with
it. afaik it is a wysiwyg text entry application, and it would use sgml
tags both internally and as the markup for output docs. So we would
still use jade to generate our production output.
