I'm getting rather frustrated and I'm wondering if anyone here has some
suggestions...
I have some HTML files, I want to import into LyX (well, you might guess
that from the subject line). The route I am using is to use
gnuhtml2latex (that's what's available on my Debian system) to convert
the HTML to LaTex, and then use the standard LaTeX import.
(I am using LyX 1.1.6fix4; Debian doesn't have 1.2 yet)
Unfortunately, what I get is a horrible file with lots of ERT,
for example ERT "\par" at every paragraph instead of it actually realizing
they are paragraphs.
I suspect that the problem is gnuhtml2latex, producing LaTex which is
not nice (because I looked at the output and those darn \par things
were already there).
So, I am wondering if
(a) there is a better HTML->LaTeX converter out there that gives nicer
LyX-understandable LaTeX OR
(b) someone can point me towards a resource describing LyX-file syntax
so that I can write my own direct HTML->LyX converter (though this may
be a pointless exersize since the LyX syntax has probably changed in 1.2
anyway...)
I am not a LaTeX person, but I do know how to write Perl scripts... 8-)
