But to use it in C++ I think Riki's suggestion of using the Qt XML parsing libraries make sense. It seems the QT "xml" module needs to be loaded in order to use this -- can anyone help me with the best way to add this module to LyX's build system? It seems that if qmake is used then the option "QT += xml" is needed but maybe LyX doesn't use qmake?
