Indeed. The difference between you (José) and me is that I doubt that these external tools can do the difficult part of the job: Translating from the LaTeX document model to the LyX document model. > Yes, I've read the archive now... sorry.

No. This thread would not exist anymore if that interpretation was correct. Remember that it started because I insisted to not add \clearpage and \cleardoublepage support to tex2lyx until it outputs the current format. > One good compromise will be to do the tex parsing in python (with the > help of those external tool) and use boost::python inside tex2lyx for > the conversion to the lyx inset model. That would be worse than doing everything in python IMHO. The parsing is not the problem. The parser in texparser.[Ch] works well and is easy to understand. The problem lies in the different document models. Georg
