I'm a little confused about what's being asked, but if the goal is to
generate diplomas for people, Inkscape is a MUCH better alternative
than LyX. You put tokens in the diploma SVG file, run a simple
shellscript or Python or whatever to convert those tokens to the
current graduate from a list of graduates, and crank them out. Easy
Peazy, and with Inkscape you can align everything exactly how you want
it. I can't begin to imagine how horrible this job would be with LyX.
