Import into LyX

Dear Users and Developers, Some time ago, I was experimenting with importing documents into LyX (specifically about how to crack the import MS Word to LyX nut). In the process, I got really excited about using OpenOffice to convert the word document to HTML, running tidy on the HTML and then

Hey Rob, that sounds like quite a nice project you have in mind! My two cents: it's not worth carrying it out if you can't get the math to import somewhat well. That seems to be the biggest problem with most ways of converting doc to lyx. I understand it's very difficult, but I think it's also

So now it's becoming more likely that this is a low-level configuration problem with Qt (although I'm by no means certain). To test this, a stab in the dark suggestion would be: Create a new user account under the Mac's System Preferences Users and groups (you can of course delete this

Hi Rob, first: great project! I constantly struggle with converting file to and from MS Word. I now use the Word--OOffice-- Latex-- Lyx Route, with the needed manual cleanup of Latex code and an additional cleanup of ERT code from LyX after LaTeX import. It is not fun. A project like yours would

Trouble with Egyptian Hieroglyphs

Hi In the past I've happily used the CTAN Poor Man's Hieroglyphs package from within LyX to produce very acceptable Egyptian Hieroglyphs. The thing worked by simply putting into the preamble: \usepackage{hieroglf} Then you could use TeX macros such as \pmglyph{\HA}... and surround this if you
