Hi all,
sometime I need to paste some latex code inside a lyx file.
When I do this, I lose all the formatting and, in particular, I
lose all new lines: this means that what I end up with in my red box
in lyx is a complete mess which requires a lot of editing.
This is quite annoying: am I missing something which results in this
behaviour?
Thank you
Have you tried Edit > Paste Special > Paste from LaTeX? Note that
this is used to paste directly into the LyX document, /not/ into an
ERT box (ctrl+L).
Paul
I usually just use Ctrl+Shift+V to paste text (including lines of
LaTeX) that preserves new lines. It works in an ERT box. (I wasn't
aware of the Paste from LateX option. In fact, there's quite a bit
here that has changed since I last carefully looked at what was
offered by the different menus.)
Andrew
Actually, I usually do the same thing (because I forget about the paste
LaTeX option). Sometimes, though, what plops into the ERT box is a mess
of the sort Mario described, and I end up inserting newlines to make it
readable. I'm not sure if the paste special approach avoids that -- I
don't have an example handy at the moment -- but one can hope.
