Probably not. Nothing depending on Pandoc fits my needs. Also, the LyX
to Pandoc conversion would need to preserve styles.

The proposition is simple. LyX allows any sort of character or
paragraph style (environment). Documents consist of text with styles
applied, NOT text with appearance applied. The styles should be passed
through all the way to the exported format.
