Currently there are two tex-to-lyx converters: reLyX and tex2lyx from current 1.4.0cvs. For .tex produced by LyX, tex2lyx might be the better option.

clean is all which runs without errors through latex,
but there are some minor problems:
- the font substitution stuff is really out of date

- footnotes in tabulars use old code

Lyx-Qt 1.3.2 cannot import Tex
Win XP Prof, Miketex 2.3, Lyx-Qt 1.3.2. Hello, when I export my *.lyx as *.tex and import it again, it cannot be openend: Cannot convert file Error while executing reLyx -f "foo.tex" And I cannot open any other *.tex-files either. Is this a bug within Lyx-Qt or a general one? Anything what can be done to circumvent it?

I just tried but I get the same error message. What error message? What when running reLyX manually? I.e. 'perl.exe reLyX.pl file.tex' (or whatever it takes to start perl with a script that takes an argument on your system)? Is your perl binary in your path?

Hallo Herbert,

I am planning to update this eventually. My plan is to
- check for newer packages like mathpazo and mathptmx and fall back to
palatino and times (maybe via mathppl and mathptm) if they are not installed.
- drop support for ae and pslatex
- add some more psnfss fonts
- add support for latin modern
what do you think of this?

I have a patch for this, but it still needs some discussion

Let's put it like that: As the .tex exported by LyX uses only a small subset of the TeX language, it is comparatively easy to read unless you use lots of "plain (La)Tex" in your document preamble or in the "LaTeX insets".

I had to change it to make sure the paths are correct. It should look something like this: @echo off rem Wrapper script for Win32 rem written by Ruurd Reitsma set PERLLIB=c:\lyx-1.3.2\lib c:\lyx-1.3.2\bin\perl.exe c:\lyx-1.3.2\bin\reLyX %1 %2 %3 (change the "c:\lyx-1.3.2" to the correct location on your computer). I also found it necessary to make the same sorts of changes to the file lyx/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx.bat, which (for me) now looks like: @echo off rem Wrapper script for Win32 rem written by Ruurd Reitsma rem c:\lyx-1.3.2\bin\sh.exe --login %0 c:\lyx-1.3.2\bin\python %0 %1 %2 I don't actually know enough windows batch programming to understand the original versions -- presumably they must work for most people, and there is something funny/missing on my machine. But the changes listed above solved the problem for me, so I hope they will help others. ..dave case p.s. thanks again to Ruurd Reitsma for putting this package together!

Michael; Try this if you haven't already: View the file first as DVI, ie run LATeX on the file then find the associated .tex file in the temp folder (C:\blah\lyx\tmp\lyx_tmp_whatever\maybe_another\yourfile.tex) Now import this file LATeX in and see if it works better. >From what I have just tried importing this file works just fine.
