What is a reason to convert them?
Hi, Alexey. We're no longer maintaining reLyX because none of us know enough perl to make sense of the code. Instead we have tex2lyx. See http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/LatexToLyx I'm not saying that tex2lyx does not suffer from the problems you describe, but we'd appreciate it if you tried it out and reported back. Kind regards, Angus
