Such problems are not known (assuming you really called the correct tex2lyx that has access to the .layout files, LyX itself sometimes chooses the wrong one). tex2lyx is supposed to import all LaTeX commands that are directly mapped to styles in the .layout file. > tex2lyx also failed to import an unsupported command with optional > argument: in \sidecaption[t] the optional argument was imported as > regular text. This is expected. tex2lyx cannot decide whether "[xxx]" is an optional argument or standard text if it does not know whether the command supports an optional argument. You need to add those commands to the lib/synlib/syntax.default file. Then they will be imported correctly by tex2lyx (as ERT). Georg
