Hello,
thanks for your help, I followed your advice and replaced theorem with
thm, corollary with cor etc.. . As for environments I use use for the moment
just enumerate instead of enumeratealpha etc. using for the moment emacs to
do these replacements I have something better in lyx now. For my real
conversion I still have a problem left, texmacs creates also some macros like
\newcommand{\nin}{\not\in}
\newcommand{\nni}{\not\ni}
\newcommand{\tmop}[1]{\ensuremath{\operatorname{#1}}}
\newcommand{\tmsamp}[1]{\textsf{#1}}
\newcommand{\tmtextbf}[1]{{\bfseries{#1}}}
\newcommand{\tmtextit}[1]{{\itshape{#1}}}
\newcommand{\tmtexttt}[1]{{\ttfamily{#1}}}
\newcommand{\um}{-}
that is not shown correctly in lyx once imported, can you give me some hints
how to solve this. Please not that I'm not a latex specialist (but I can
guess from the above that something like \tmop{and} should be expanded in
\ensuremath{\operatorname{and}} ). Does there exist some way that these
substitutions are made automatically or should I write code that does this
before doing the import in lyx.
Thanks a lot in advance
Marc
