Re: is it possible to create a lyx file as flat ASCII file?
Sooo ... the answer is: yes it is possible I just had no idea how sensitive LyX is for whitespace when loading a file. I found an extra space at the end of a sentence can create the wobble of not loading the document settings properly. Anyway, the python script below works for me - it loads all the .eps files in a folder and creates a lyx file that can be imported as an appendix. For me this is a roundabout way to add multipage pdf files (reports) to the document. First export the pdf to 1 page eps files. Then run this script and add to the main document. If someone knows a more elegant way - suggestions are welcome.

is it possible to create a lyx file as flat ASCII file?
Is it possible to create a lyx file as pure ascii text, particularly a chapter? I have been trying to create appendix files that should be imported into the main document. I would like to use a script to create my appendix files with 30-100 figures each instead of doing all this manually. Unfortunately I cannot seem to create a lyx file that is accepted by the main document, even if it looks to be 100% the same as a manual file. Is there some invisible text generated by lyx? Many thanks for any help
