OK. Interesting. In fact it has been removed because it could be wrongfully exploited. See this post [1] from Angus Leeming: "Interestingly, the LyX 1.4.x series uses the converter mechanism to convert files. Ie, the "Update Command" line no longer exists in the template file so the templates themselves are now perfectly safe." > I can define a new Python file format, but strangely, no matter what > I do the "Add" button in the converters section is greyed out.

External material is the only option if the stuff to be included is not suited for a \includegraphics command. In your case you can do it either way. It seems more natural to use Insert > Graphics. > > J > Cheers, Julien [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg66742.html
