convert html table to Lyx
I made a table in Lyx (cvs version). It starts with: \begin_inset Tabular lyxtabular version=3 rows=9 columns=3 features column alignment=center valignment=top leftline=true width=0 column alignment=center valignment=top leftline=true width=0 column alignment=center valignment=top leftline=true rightline=true wid th=0 row topline=true bottomline=true cell alignment=center valignment=top topline=true leftline=true usebox= none \begin_inset Text My problem is that HTML tables (by default) do not know how many columns or rows they may have. For example, I may have some: table tr td data /td td data /td /tr tr td data /td td data /td /tr /table Is there any way in lyx to have tables without defining how many rows or columns ahead of time? Maybe I should use latex table or tabular? I have some XML documents that I am converting to Lyx and it is going well, but now I am trying to figure out the tables part. I have table, row, item, table heading, but no references ahead of time of how many rows or items. Anyone have any example of doing this? Jeremy C.

No.
I'd agree that LyX's table format sucks, but the data is there in your html
file. Why not just extract it?
