Hi, Luis. I don't think that this would do what we want here. We really spawn an external process to manage the conversion process because we didn't want this conversion to block LyX's execution. If we ran the conversion within LyX itself we'd have to use threads to achieve the same goal. If we did that, we might as well write the code in C++. -- Angus
