OK, the first step then is to be familiar with LFUNs. Then we can try to
automate things. LFUNs are how LyX performs actions. Usually they are
behind the scenes, but you can also use LyX's "scripting language" to
replicate behavior. See here for a general description (and follow the
links in there):
https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Mini-buffer
See also Help > LyX functions
Finally, to figure out which LFUNs the GUI is running, see here:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/208510/lyx-commands-to-insert-wysiwyg-horizontal-line-for-keyboard-shortcut/208531#208531

Let us know once you are able to figure out the command-sequence to put
the cursor at the end of the document and insert the LyX file. Can you
get it to work how you want in the minibuffer?

Once you figure that out, then you can try it on the command line. See
lyx --help, in particular the -x option.

If you get lost at any of the above steps, please feel free to ask us
for help. Be clear with what you have tried so far and where exactly you
get stuck

  I need to close this thread by explaining that the elsarticle.cls must be
used to create the document. Changing the document type to that does not
pick up all the formatting and other aspect required.

Unexplained file corruption makes it uneditable

2016-02-01 Thread Anthony Campbell 
I'm using 2.1.4 on OpenBSD.

While editing a large file (book) I've twice had it suddenly corrupted
which made it impossible to edit. Doing anything, such as inserting a
space or deleting a letter, causes the whole para to be struck through
(horizontal lines through the text) and the text changes colour. There is
also a vertical line on the right.

Oddly I can still make PDFs when this happens but it is no longer
possible to change anything in the file. I don't know what I did
preceding the change but it's happened twice. I spent many hours trying
to fix it but in the end gave up and replaced the file with a slightly
older one from offline backup. So far this is OK.

Any ideas about what could cause this? I tried reinstalling lyx but the
problem didn't go away.

Sounds like Change Tracking... Did you enable this?

Are we talking within the instant preview settings section? I have an older

I receive the posts to this list but when I post myself it doesn't
appear, nor do I get a bounce. Is there still a problem with the list?
