Import noweb file into LyX - How to make it work in Debian/GNU Linux?
Dear LyX Experts, I am stuck with a problem that seems to have been sorted out a few years ago (ticket 3004). The case was about lyx not being able to import a .nw (noweb) file, previously exported by lyx from a respective .lyx file (to test the noweb import function). The result of the import test was reported to be a garbled .lyx file, and that's just what I have encountered. The ticket mentions that a particular user preferences were the culprit, but the details have been lost in the mists of time. I am currently running Debian (Squeeze) and Lyx 1.6.4, installed from .deb packages, in two machines. They both share this feature. I have tried out e.g. /usr/share/lyx/examples/Literate.lyx, converted it to .nw with lyx, then back with $tex2lyx -n -f Literate.nw (using lyx and straight from the command line, also with option -c literate-article). No luck... I checked that the tex2lyx binary was replaced when updating to 1.6.4 (it has not worked properly in earlier lyx versions either). I did not notice anything amiss with the .nw file with emacs. When I looked at the imported .lyx file it seemed that tex2lyx did not recognise chunkname=, signalling the start of the code chunk, and act accordingly (=apply scrap style to the code chunks). That kind of code seems to be in place, however, in http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_6_X/src/tex2 lyx/text.cpp. To my knowledge I have not fooled around with the literate format preferences, and when I checked them they were defaults (peeked also in /usr/share/lyx/preferences, no funny lines there). http://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/Noweb discusses many tricky issues but not this one. The solution evades me. Please tell what the cure could be, Thanks in advance, Arto
