I do not think you understood me. Suppose a create a LyX file and use
it to generate a tex file. I send it to my coauthor who does not use
LyX. He makes modifications to the LaTex file without changing the
front material, and sends me his Tex file. I should be able to use
tex2lyx to make a revised version of my LyX file. But this requires
many corrections by hand.
Currently, LaTeX import isn't perfect.
There are some ways around this. If your co-author only works on certain
chapters/sections, then you may put those in files (child documents) of
their own. Then you can work on most of your LyX document undisturbed by
his work on his parts. You may even be able to avoid re-converting his
pieces back to LyX files - for a LyX master document can have child
documents that are latex files too.
Obviously, this only works if he works on separate parts of the document
- not if he needs to make changes everywhere.
The best would be to convince the coauthor to use LyX for this document
- perhaps helping out with the LyX installation. But I guess that is
not an option here.
