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 th

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. Many thanks 2014-05-10

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

Hmm, I spent quite a lot of time doing that without much success even with very simple files. Is there anyone who has working tried and made it work? Is it necessary to copy the complete header of lyx files - is there a minimum header and footer? 2014-05-09 20:44 GMT-03:00 Liviu Andronic : > On
