A user sent me a question about importing latex files that use theorem
environments. He said they all got translated into ERT. I tried importing a
file I had exported to LaTeX, and it worked fine, so I told him to make sure
his original file was up to amsmath standards for latex2e.
Well, that wasn't it. Here's what he tried, as a test, to import:
\documentclass [12pt]{amsart}
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
\begin{document}
\begin{theorem}
nonsense
\end{theorem}
\end{document}
And it imported with the theorem environment in ERT, just as he said. When I
changed it to
\documentclass [12pt]{amsart}
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}
\begin{document}
\begin{thm}
nonsense
\end{thm}
\end{document}
it then imported it as a theorem environment like it should.
I advised him to re-label his theorem environments like in the layout files.
But, is there a way to allow such things to work correctly in reLyX? Maybe
that's too much to hope for, because you never know what names someone may
use.
