Well, it is alive enough to have real world effects. > FYI Hangzai I have written somewhere in my TODO list that tex2lyx should > be integrated into LyX.

The integration might have advantages (e.g. inplace tex2lyx for clipboard snippets), but file format changes will only play a marginal role. The reason why it is some work to update tex2lyx to the newest file format does not lie in syntactical changes, e.g. \layout->\begin_layout. These were always done very quickly. The difficult thing is to support added functionality: When I adapted tex2lyx from the minipage to the box inset it was easy to simply change the output from the old minipage case. The difficult thing is to parse the other boxes correctly (ovalbox etc). This is still not done. Or in the unicode case: You have to translate the TeX stuff to unicode. This is difficult with all the encoding switching that may happen. Spitting out the result in utf8 is as easy as filling a paragraph container. Georg
