Super, thanks. Here are some thoughts:
something like this (ERT inset):
\begin_inset ERT
status Open
\layout Standard
\backslash
citet[33]{Abraham88}
\end_inset
should be converted to this (cite inset):
\begin_inset LatexCommand \citet[33]{Abraham88}
\end_inset
additionally, \use_natbib should probably be set to 1 if it is not and if it
is not and the user loads natbib with the "numbers" option (manually),
\use_numerical_citations should be set to 1.
This is for the following natbib commands:
\citet{}
\citealt{}
\citep{}
\citealp{}
\citeauthor{}
\citeyear{}
\citeyearpar{}
\Citet{}
\Citealt{}
\Citep{}
\Citealp{}
\Citeauthor{}
\Citeyear{}
\Citeyearpar{}
\citet*{}
\citealt*{}
\citep*{}
\citealp*{}
\citeauthor*{}
\citeyear*{}
\citeyearpar*{}
\Citet*{}
\Citealt*{}
\Citep*{}
\Citealp*{}
\Citeauthor*{}
\Citeyear*{}
\Citeyearpar*{}
where each of these commands may have one optional argument, which is
supported by LyX as shown in the above example. Note that Natbib itself
provides two arguments. Commands with two arguments should be left in ERT for
now.
As you see above, the LyX commands look very similar.
Natbib support has been added in 1.2.0, but as lyx2lyx does not convert until
now, the conversion to insets should probably happen between 1.3 and 1.4.
Enough information?
Thanks,
J�rgen.
