'proper' is a bit strong. Call it 'better than reLyX's pattern matching'... Andre'

It is called oolatex and part of tex4ht: http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/ (but very difficult to install, I failed last time I tried). Georg

This last point will be much less serious when lyx 1.4 is released. It will ship with 'tex2lyx', a replacement for 'reLyX'. tex2lyx is built on top of a proper latex parser and is *much* more powerful and capable than reLyX could ever hope to be. -- Angus

Anyway, for a collaborative paper work, the reverse filter would be needed as well. I have not found latex2writer. Moreover, i had noticed before that latex files are not always imported flawlessly by lyx. So, specific filters lyx2writer and writer2lyx could make sense... -- Pol

It creates clean .tex files if the .sxw file is well structured, but if you did not use logical markup (e.g. headline) but visual markup (e.g. bold, 24 pt), then the .tex file will be horrible. > Perhaps this tool can be transformed for producing lyx file ? Probably, but it is not necessary. If you add writer2latex as a .sxw -> .tex converter in your preferences, .sxw files will become available for import, because lyx can import .tex files. Georg
Re: lyx compatibility with other w-processors
Useful tool surely. However, you can find writer2latex that convert openoffice to tex : http://www.hj-gym.dk/~hj/writer2latex/ Perhaps this tool can be transformed for producing lyx file ?

lyx compatibility with other w-processors
Working at a document with people using word processors other than lyx is currently impossible, since using latex as common format does not work (even importing latex files into lyx is not easy; that is explecially true if those latex files have been produced by kword or opensoffice). I am wondering if it would be worth considering to develop the filters openoffice <--> lyx kword <--> lyx (i have no idea of the difficulties of such work) Such convenient utilities would encourage people to use lyx. -- Pol
