This makes the tests less effective. If somebody updates the file format, he should check tex2lyx as well and update the test references at the same time. If all is fine, updating the references is as easy as pushd <buildtree>/src/tex2lyx make updatetests popd with autotools (and cmake should have a similar command). The author of a file format change is the best person to judge whether the new output is still correct. If other people are doing that later it is more work. Errors can easily slip in if several format updates have accumulated, and then the references are updated in one step. Also, the additional file format conversion pulls in another component (lyx2lyx), which could cause errors as well. Therefore I'd like to keep the tests as they are. We certainly need a better documentation of the procedure to update the file format, but I don't know where to put that. Georg
