For the time it is secret :), but in a couple of weeks it would not be so I'll
have a look at it then.

Zagain. This should produce correct ERT.
I will try this when the next iteration of abstracts are ready.

or this if the first does not work :)

Yes. You have two options:
1) Add the line
\sindex[]{translate} %splitidx.sty
to the file lib/syntax.default in your LyX installation, and import the file
again. This should produce correct ERT.
2) Get the current BRANCH_2_0_X from svn or wait for 2.0.4. This will create
real index insets for \sindex.

lyx latex-import problem
Hi I have a couple of hundred abstracts from a web form that produces simple LaTeX files. I have cat'ed them into one big LaTeX file and imported it to LyX. This works for the most part, but I have problem with \sindex that needs a option i [index_name] which is not recognized by LyX and therefor not put into ERT. I tried to get search replace it, but when LyX search within ERT it uses all memory and even if it seems to do the right thing it has been working on the file for a couple of hours... (file is only 300k and the box has 4G of ram, so something seems to be amiss) Is there some advice on how to do this more efficient? I could do it manually, but automated is better :) Linux and LyX 2.0.2 Ingar

tex2lyx does not help in this case. The reason is the non-standard command
\textoverset which is not supported by LyX.
Form your file it seems that \textoverset takes two text arguments (the
style files are not readable):
\textoverset{${\mathchar"0362}$'}{$\sigma$}=\frac{1}{T}
rewrite that as
\overset{{\mathchar"0362}'}{\sigma}=\frac{1}{T}
and everything should work.

Actually, that page contains links to "backports". from the page: ** "tex2lyx will be part of the upcoming 1.4 release of LyX. This page page describes its use with older LyXes (such as the current stable release, LyX 1.3.x) and provides some ready-to-use packages.

You can get the 1.4 version of lyx2lyx to revert back to 1.3.x format, actually as soon as 1.4.0 is released 1.3.7 will be released this way, with the ability to read 1.4.x files. > thanks for pointing out > pavel I hope this helps, -- José Abílio

I suggest you try pdflatex *.tex and see if any warnings are triggered or errors 'coughed out'. Ideally, all imports and exports would be non-lossy. Perhaps they are, but in prac- tice, there are too many non-compliant, non-standardised uses (misuses). TeX (or LyX or whatever) hacks will not prevent one from getting that fi- nal output.

That is fair. I was not sure if this was a problem with Ruurd's port or with lyx2lyx itself, if the later then that was bug worth to fix for 1.4 as well for 1.3.6.

I think that Luis is finding that Ruurd's stripped down python package doesn't include some of the modules that lyx2lyx makes use of. My advice still holds. Ruurd's python package has outlived its usefulness. All Windows users should ditch it and get an official distribution from www.python.org. That way we're all on the same playing field. -- Angus

See Ruurd's > original reLyX.bat file and my home-brewed patch somewhere in this thread. > I'm ashamed I wrote this, so I recant publicly. In fact, the newer lyx2lyx packed with tex2lyx (binary) is incompatible with the python version packed by Ruurd: the newest version requires python 2.3 at least, and Ruurd packed python 2.2. So Angus was right: dump the python version packed by Ruurd, if you have no use for it... Having said that, I must add that it is possible to get away without installing a full blooded Python distribution: the newest pythons include a little program py2exe allowing the compilation of python scripts into windows executables. I just made the experiment and seems to be working. I thought about uploading it to the wikipage, but I have to figure out how to do that first. If somebody volunteers, I can send the exe right away to post it in the right place for downloading.

Just add the right paths to libperl and libpython environment variables, and everything runs fine. See Ruurd's original reLyX.bat file and my home-brewed patch somewhere in this thread. BTW, you shouldn't be using reLyX: tex2lyx makes a more consistent LyX output, and has a better lyx2lyx program. Cheers, Luis.

I have little knowledge of the arcana of the LyX format, so I am in no position do decide whether the output of tex2lyx is equal, better, or worse, than that of reLyX (which, I also concede, might be a relic ;) My only point is that reLyX makes some `mish-mash' intelligible to lyx2lyx, and then you still have to "upgrade" this mish-mash into LyX 221.

For what definition of bloated? Well: I downloaded the binary from the Wiki page, and it expands to up to 2.5 Mb, while the existing combo reLyX/lyx2lyx takes about 2Mb (including the required python/perl libraries and executables). >Two things that it >does do, which reLyX does not, is understand most 'reasonable' LaTeX and >generate a consistent .lyx file. > Having no clue about the consistency of LyX, I must concede the second point; as for the first, reLyX has had no trouble so far with my rather idiosyncratic LaTeX files... To convert my LaTeX files into LyX I made the following batch file (tex2lyx.bat): @echo off rem Wrapper script for Win32 rem written by Ruurd Reitsma rem shamelessly hacked by Jose-Luis Rivera set PERLLIB=%~p0\..\lib set PYTHONPATH=%~p0\lib;%~p0\dlls %~p0\perl.exe -S %~p0\reLyX -f %1 %2 %3 ren %~n1.lyx rlx %~p0\python.exe -S %~p0\..\share\lyx\lyx2lyx\lyx2lyx -t 221 -o %~n1.lyx rlx del rlx set PERLLIB= set PYTHONPATH= - then I changed the call in Edit/Preferences/Converters/tex -> LyX, to `tex2lyx $$i', and voilà! I named the batch file `tex2lyx' in the assumption that, someday, this shall be the name of the right utility to call. >If you have any substantive problems with tex2lyx, then PLEASE bring them >forward. I have no substantive problems with tex2lyx, save that it seems to me a little redundant for Ruurd's distribution. As I said, all I did was a little hacking of Ruurd's reLyX.bat file and I got my stuff. Before that, I downloaded and tested (succesfully) the experimental tex2lyx available at the wiki page, then realizing that I had to reformat the output with lyx2lyx anyway. So I patched a little batch to run lyx2lyx from console, and then it strucked me that with a little hacking to Ruurd's original kludge, I could get the two phases (reLyX/tex2lyx-lyx2lyx) done in one single shot. That's what I did. > We rely on your feedback to improve it. Now I take your suggestion: do you think it viable to have tex2lyx built into LyX itself, like the converter going the other way around?This way we could use `lyx --import latex filename.tex', the way we use `lyx --export latex filename.lyx').

Another workaround is to replace the 1.3 version of lyx2lyx with a slightly hacked 1.4 version (including the various .py files). You need to set end_format = '221' in parse_options() in lyx2lyx to change the default output format. LyX 1.3 should be able to read 1.4 files after that, so you don't need to convert included files explicitly. Feel free to add this to the wiki (with a bit more explanation) if it works for you, I don't have the time at the moment. Georg

The current version of tex2lyx deals correctly with multipart documents However, lyx2lyx does not know about dependencies, so that retroconversion to 221 must be made on each \input'ted, \include'd or \verbatiminput'ted file. The workaround I proposed in the wiki (script tex2lyx.sh, which converts all lyx files in the current dir to 221) is a poor one, but I can't imagine better unless lyx2lyx knows about dependencies. An external script retrieving file dependencies would be welcome, unless it already exists, either in latex or in lyx. In fact, \listfiles does it, but it mixes things w.r.t what tex2lyx does. A good idea would be perhaps to add an output to tex2lyx enumerating the full or relative path of the converted files, but IMHO an external script would be more useful in the future (the current retroconversion will not be necessary when 1.4 is released). -- Jean-Pierre

However, reLyX generates a horrible mish-mash of different file formats that must "somehow" be deciphered by lyx2lyx. tex2lyx generates a completely consistent lyx file, version 241, which must then be converted back to version 221 so that LyX 1.3.5 can understand it. > I still use the `old' reLyX script, for tex2lyx, in its current > incarnation, is too bloated to my taste, and I have to reconvert the > output to LyX 221 anyway. tex2lyx is bloated? For what definition of bloated? Two things that it does do, which reLyX does not, is understand most 'reasonable' LaTeX and generate a consistent .lyx file. If you have any substantive problems with tex2lyx, then PLEASE bring them forward. We rely on your feedback to improve it. However, please do not suggest to people on this list that they use reLyX in preference to tex2lyx. reLyX is a broken hack and unsupported nightmare. -- Angus

Greiner Please don't reply to mails when you wish to start an entirely new thread. I'm likely to miss your post as it appears in my reader as - [Fwd: Re: Metapost problems]marc |_ Latex import problem TGreiner Anyway, to reply to your question. There is a bug in LyX/Win 1.3.5 in that lyx2lyx is invoked as "lyx2lyx foo bar". Unfortunately, lyx2lyx is a python script and Windows isn't smart enough to work this out. LyX 1.3.6 will invoke the script as "python /lyx2lyx foo bar", but that isn't much help to you. I suggest that you add a lyx2lyx.bat file to the directory containing lyx2lyx and call the real lyx2lyx file from there. -- Angus

So simply use the lyx2lyx.cmd suggested in the wiki page, and you may be all set. If that fails, you may cook a tex2lyx.cmd file calling both reLyX and lyx2lyx, in fact faking the behavior of the new tex2lyx... Luis.

By importing a Latex document, I got the following error: "Der Befehl "...lyx1.3.5/lyx/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht gefunden werden." LyXWin is still a bit buggy in including/converting documents. You can have a look at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/WindowsSetup if someone published a solution. But lyx2lyx is a converter for different LyX file versions. If you want to convert LaTeX to LyX, you should check out the new program tex2lyx: http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/LatexToLyx regards Uwe
Latex import problem
Hello, I tried the German Win32 version on Lyx 1.3.5. Buy importing a Latex document, I got the following error: "Der Befehl "...lyx1.3.5/lyx/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht gefunden werden." Please can you give me advice. Thanks. T. Greiner
