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. One strong point of tex2lyx
though is that it let the lyx core output the file so there will never
be a lag between file format revision. Is my interpretation correct Georg?
No. This thread would not exist anymore if that interpretation was correct.
But shouldn't that be the goal? I mean, it would make a lot of sense to
me if tex2lyx used the LyX memory model by filling in inset by inset a
lyx::Buffer.
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.
Indeed. But I don't understand why tex2lyx doesn't use the lyx source
directly for that...
