Hello, I'm using txt2tags 2.3 for windows, and LyX 1.5 on a WinXP
txt2tags (http://txt2tags.sourceforge.net/) is a python script that can output .tex files. I would like to produce files with the txt2tags markup and further refine them on LyX. However I have a problem importing the .tex files produced by txt2tags into LyX. The title and author field are missing in the .lyx file, replaced by a "clear page" mention. The final .dvi lacks those fields entirely. Here follows a txt2tags xp1.tex file: ################################## \documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage{amsfonts,graphicx} \usepackage[pdfstartview=FitH,urlcolor=blue,colorlinks=true,bookmarks=true]{hyperref} \pagestyle{plain} % do page numbering ('empty' turns off) \frenchspacing % no aditional spaces after periods \setlength{\parskip}{8pt}\parindent=0pt % no paragraph indentation \title{This is a title} \author{I'm the author} \begin{document} \maketitle \clearpage This is standard text \section*{this is a section*} This is more text % LaTeX2e code generated by txt2tags 2.3 (http://txt2tags.sf.net) % cmdline: txt2tags -t tex G:/MPI/xp1.t2t \end{document} ################################## And here is the corresponding xp1.lyx file: ################################## #LyX file created by tex2lyx 0.1.2 \lyxformat 245 \begin_document \begin_header \textclass article \begin_preamble \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage[pdfstartview=FitH,urlcolor=blue,colorlinks=true,bookmarks=true]{hyperref} % do page numbering ('empty' turns off) \frenchspacing % no aditional spaces after periods \setlength{\parskip}{8pt}\parindent=0pt % no paragraph indentation \title{This is a title} \author{I'm the author} \end_preamble \options a4paper \language english \inputencoding latin1 \fontscheme default \graphics default \paperfontsize 11 \spacing single \papersize default \use_geometry false \use_amsmath 0 \cite_engine basic \use_bibtopic false \paperorientation portrait \secnumdepth 3 \tocdepth 3 \paragraph_separation indent \defskip medskip \quotes_language english \papercolumns 1 \papersides 1 \paperpagestyle plain \tracking_changes false \output_changes false \end_header \begin_body \begin_layout Standard \clearpage \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This is standard text \end_layout \begin_layout Section* this is a section* \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This is more text \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Standard % LaTeX2e code generated by txt2tags 2.3 (http://txt2tags.sf.net) \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Standard % cmdline: txt2tags -t tex G:/MPI/xp1.t2t \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \end_body \end_document ################################## Now, if I insert a date in the txt2tags file, the resulting LyX file still does not display title and author, but shows the date followed by the "clear page" mention. But the .dvi document shows indeed the title, author and date, in a preceding page. Here are the files: xp2.tex ################################## \documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage{amsfonts,graphicx} \usepackage[pdfstartview=FitH,urlcolor=blue,colorlinks=true,bookmarks=true]{hyperref} \pagestyle{plain} % do page numbering ('empty' turns off) \frenchspacing % no aditional spaces after periods \setlength{\parskip}{8pt}\parindent=0pt % no paragraph indentation \title{This is a title} \author{I'm the author} \begin{document} \date{23.08.2007} \maketitle \clearpage This is standard text \section*{this is a section*} This is more text % LaTeX2e code generated by txt2tags 2.3 (http://txt2tags.sf.net) % cmdline: txt2tags -t tex G:/MPI/xp2.t2t \end{document} ################################## and resulting xp2.lyx ################################## #LyX 1.5.1 created this file.

Perhaps if the problem is with the txt2tags output, you can indicate me what should I mention in the txt2tags mailing list, to correct the problem? Cheers, Alex
