No. reLyX produces a total hodge-podge of stuff, some of which is in 'modern' lyx format, but some of which is in an old, old format. The lowest common denominator here is \lyxformat 2.15. Thereafter, we run the file through the lyx2lyx converter to eventually reach the current lyx format. > \LyXTable > multicol5 > ---------------------------- > Seems that this code is no more interpreted by lyx >=1.3.1.

Something like this (untested). #! /bin/sh # script expects two args, the input (tex) file and output (ascii) file test $# -eq 2 || exit 1 test -r $1 || exit 1 reLyX $1 tmpfile1=`echo $1 | sed 's/tex$/lyx/'` tmpfile2=tmp.$$ lyx2lyx $tmpfile1 > $tmpfile2 rm -f $tmpfile1 lyx -e ascii $tmpfile2 > $2 rm -f $tmpfile2 -- Angus
