Impressive! This is a feature I'd really like to have. I suppose it is not intended to create a LyX file that compiles without error? ATM, I get a lot of errors with plainnat, caused by crossrefs after an emphasized booktitle. Also, the necessary packages (natbib, url et al.) are not loaded. With my self-baked bst-file, the script fails. Bibtex produces millions of warnings with my style, also within an ordinary bibtex run, because I do not understand this really *weird* bibtex language well enough, but at least it produces the result I want, despite the warnings. The script gives me: [...] You can't pop an empty literal stack for entry Zizek92 while executing---line 1559 of file diss.bst (There were 864 error messages) Failed: bibtex bib2lyx3616.aux Anyway, I like the approach. BTW I think this could be used for ascii output too, which would be a real killer function then. Jürgen.
