Check out the file $prefix/share/lyx/external_templates Where $prefix is /usr or /usr/local depending on your installation. This file defines the various external formats that are accepted for inclusion and how to insert them into the output format (latex/docbook/linuxdoc). It is a bit cryptic, but you can probably figure it out from the examples that are already in it. And as Juergen already said, it is possible to paste a Tab seperated table into the tabular. The external inset is useful if the table might change from time to time, and will be very useful if it changes often. Obviously, if you create such a template for the external inset, we will be happy to get it for a possible inclusion in the LyX distribution. -- Baruch Even http://baruch.ev-en.org/

How exactly do you configure it? In the menu I see how to change the converters LyX uses for various formats, but nothing to add a format - I could really do with .cvs there. BTW, the External feature seems to work better with fix2 - I have had no problems with JPGs etc. Robin

For integrating external input sources we have the "External Inset", this beast can (with the proper configuration) insert everything into your page, all you'll need is a support program and the correct latex code to insert it. This doesn't import it into the document, the data still resides in an external file, but it will be added to the latex (docbook/linuxdoc) output. -- Baruch Even http://baruch.ev-en.org/

I'd like to add that to the 2.0-wishlist! Have fun* Niklas
