Any idea ? Thanks Didier I've also got LyX2.1 on 64 bit Windows 7, and Adobe Reader X, and the copy and paste works without problems, so this looks like a problem at your end rather than with LyX.

Re: is it possible to create a lyx file as flat ASCII file?
Hey, that is new for me. Thanks a lot, I will have a look Still, if anyone can tell me if the lyx-file format has any hidden data or quirks that would be most welcome. If I know I can create lyx files without using lyx (e.g. emacs or python), that would be very useful.

LyX is scriptable. But you need a running instance. See the chapter about the LyX Server in the Additional Manual. Perhaps this is helpful to solve your task.

Lyx2.1 problem with metafile2eps converter
Hi, I have problem wth lyx2.1 (on windows 7 64bits)... I often copy images from adobe reader with the embedded tool and paste directly on lyx (ctrl+V)... I have a error message "Can not open Metafle to EPS converter printer" (without "i" on "Metafle" :o) When I try the conversion directly from Lyx2.1 dir\bin\metafile2eps.exe the same error occur... Any idea ? Thanks Didier
Re: is it possible to create a lyx file as flat ASCII file?
Nope, I would not like to export What I would like is: 1. create a plain text file (*.lyx) 2. import into main document One step more: ideally I would like to use a script to select all figures in a folder and create a lyx file that can be imported into the main document. 2014-05-10 5:09 GMT-03:00 Stephan Witt : > Am 10.05.2014 um 02:36 schrieb Thirsty Camel : > > > Hmm, I spent quite a lot of time doing that without much success even > with very simple files.

Re: blindtext, unicode-math, and babel won't play nice because of setmathfont
Alas, not [auto]...at least, not in LyX 2.0.8. Other settings were already
as you specified.
It doesn't throw an error, but the language isn't being set to english, so
blindtext is outputting lorem ipsum, not english and math as it should.
attempt at quasi-MWE and pdf output attached. Note absence of math, though
\setmathfont is working now.
Actually, ntitai, I tried this originally...before putting
\usepackage[english]{babel} (as the blintext manual directs) in the
language custom area (which now works), and that's where I came in...the
circle is complete. hakunamatata.

PS I haven't updated to LyX 2.1 yet...no, I'll confess: I mean I did
update, but got errors with my files (apparently others too...); I rolled
back and was going to try again, but as I was cleaning up/backing up the
files I needed, got snagged in this blindtext problem...you caught me :-)

I don't know the absolute minimum, but I woudl use LyX to create a template (empty document or some dummy content or to-be-customized content) and then use this as a base for the script-generated LyX-file.
