It should be part of LyX, so just use File-Import-LaTeX.

Thanks, but File-Import-LaTeX does not exist in my version of LyX (LyX 1.3.5).

It is available with the new lyx that is available via CVS.

I don't think it is available separately. It is available via the CVS for
the latest-and-greatest LyX.

You should use it with the latest LyX because it generates a new LyX
format.

There's a misunderstanding there.

tex2lyx is currently bundled up with the lyx cvs sources. It could probably
be unbundled, but nobody has tried to do so.

It does generate LyX 1.4.x format files (current version number is 236, as
compared to 1.3.x's 221.) However, the lyx2lyx that is part of the 1.4.x
cvs sources will convert *back* to 221 format files. lyx2lyx is a python
script, so it is dead easy to package that separately.

Given that 1.4.0 is month's away and also given the vast superiority of
tex2lyx over reLyX, it would be a *good thing* to split things up. It
might be a nice mini project for somebody. Any volunteers? ;-)

There is no tarball. You must use cvs. See www.devel.lyx.org/cvs.php3

Two recommendations.:

1. Put .cvsrc in your home directory:

$ cat .cvsrc
diff -upN
rdiff -upN
update -dP

It'll make your life much easier when you upgrade your files.

2. Do *not* use the 1.4.x version of lyx for anything other than play.
tex2lyx and lyx2lyx are fine.

No. I can't spell tonight. LyX 1.4.0 is *many* months away because nobody

  AFAIK, tex2lyx depends on some code from lyx.
  Also to use tex2lyx with lyx 1.3.5 you would need the corresponding
version of lyx2lyx. On the other hand this version of lyx2lyx

It should be part of LyX, so just use File->Import->LaTeX.

Dominik,

Thanks, but File->Import->LaTeX does not exist in my version of LyX (LyX 1.3.5).

Paul

It is available with the new lyx that is available via CVS.

I don't think it is available separately. It is available via the CVS for
the latest-and-greatest LyX.

You should use it with the latest LyX because it generates a new LyX
format.

Thanks, Jeremy. Where from can I download the tarball for CVS LyX?

There's a misunderstanding there.

tex2lyx is currently bundled up with the lyx cvs sources. It could probably
be unbundled, but nobody has tried to do so.

It does generate LyX 1.4.x format files (current version number is 236, as
compared to 1.3.x's 221.) However, the lyx2lyx that is part of the 1.4.x
cvs sources will convert *back* to 221 format files. lyx2lyx is a python
script, so it is dead easy to package that separately.

Given that 1.4.0 is month's away and also given the vast superiority of
tex2lyx over reLyX, it would be a *good thing* to split things up. It
might be a nice mini project for somebody. Any volunteers? ;-)

There is no tarball. You must use cvs. See www.devel.lyx.org/cvs.php3

Two recommendations.:

1. Put .cvsrc in your home directory:

$ cat .cvsrc
diff -upN
rdiff -upN
update -dP

It'll make your life much easier when you upgrade your files.

2. Do *not* use the 1.4.x version of lyx for anything other than play.
tex2lyx and lyx2lyx are fine.

Angus,

Are you meaning that the version 1.4 will be out there within one
month? (I have already searched the CVS section of LyX site and it
seems a bit labyrinthic to me... so, I could wait one month for the
stable 1.4 version.)

No. I can't spell tonight. LyX 1.4.0 is *many* months away because nobody
is working hard to fix its bugs. Which is a shame. I believe that the
content is there but we just need to find some time (individually) to
donate to a final push.

if you want to play around with the cvs version, get it
from ftp.sylvan.com  It is daily updated.

Would it make sense to make a wiki page for tex2lyx, and attach a copy 
of the script to that page so that people can download it from there?

Or are several files required for it to work?

  Don't you have perl on your system?
  
  The program that presently converts LaTeX to LyX is relyx, a perl script.

Jose',

I do have perl on my system, but locate relyx does not find relyx.

  AFAIK, tex2lyx depends on some code from lyx.
  Also to use tex2lyx with lyx 1.3.5 you would need the corresponding
version of lyx2lyx. On the other hand this version of lyx2lyx
will be available with the last version of 1.3.x when 1.4.o is released.

  If you followed this argument you will see a circular argument. ;-)

> Or are several files required for it to work?

  It should be too difficult to create a standalone version... But someone
must do it. :-)

  That will happen if the cron job responsible to call updatedb has no yet
run. Usually it runs once a day. Until that time no new entries will be
found.

  On the hand if you perl installed and lyx doesn't find relyx (for 1.3.5)
that is a bug.

  How did you installed lyx?

I have just run updatedb but locate does not find relyx. I have
installed LyX 1.3.5 with the following sequence:

./configure --with-frontend=qt --with-pspell
make
checkinstall

It is called "reLyX" -- notice the capital "L" and "X".

It could be installed under some share/lyx directory instead of in a bin/
directory.
