For near a year I have bad success importing tex files into lyx. (I am now
retrieving latest CVS to give it a try instead of using official
releases.)
I have a variety of documents that I want to edit with lyx (I don't care
to keep the old formats), such as nroff, tex, html, and docbook.
Since I can't get tex nor html to be imported, I am now trying docbook.
The first problem is my docbook files (as created by doclifter) are named
with .xml extension, and the File->Import-DocBook... interface says:
"*.sgml". So I manually type in name.
Then I get a bunch of errors, like:
/usr/pkg/bin/jade:<OSFD>0:229:5:E: element "PARA" undefined
/usr/pkg/bin/jade:<OSFD>0:233:12:E: element "PRODUCTNAME" undefined
/usr/pkg/bin/jade:<OSFD>0:235:12:E: element "PRODUCTNAME" undefined
/usr/pkg/bin/jade:<OSFD>0:237:12:E: element "PRODUCTNAME" undefined

Compilation failed in require at /usr/pkg/bin/reLyX line 78.
Exited due to fatal Error!
And the LyX popup says:
Cannot convert file
Error while executing
reLyX -f 'strlcpy.tex'
I have tried numerous tools for converting to different formats, but I can
never get lyx to import.
Any suggestions on how to get lyx to open any other formats other than
plain text? (I don't know noweb yet.)
