LyX 2014 Summer of Code Ideas

If you see an idea here which interests you, please consider contacting the LyX Developer's list. You can send a message to lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org. (Instructions on how to subscribe can be found at http://www.lyx.org/MailingLists#lyx_devel.) We would love to discuss any thoughts you might have, or to help you put together a student application.

1.  Round trip conversion between LyX and .docx formats

Publishers and collaborators often request LyX authors to convert their files to Microsoft Word's .docx format. The design differences between a style-oriented format like LyX's and a format-oriented format like .docx make a full-blown "LyX to .docx" (or "LaTeX to .docx") converter unfeasible. The goal of this project is to identify a minimal yet practically useful subset of LyX features that a converter could support. The actucal conversion from LyX to .docx could be implemented by existing multiformat converter (e.g. pandoc) or by a LyX exporter new tool.
