Hola,
I have a tex document with a lot of mathematical formulae and so on, and I
want to convert this to lyx in order to be able to merge in a bigger lyx
document I have.
The first time I used relyx (or import from latex in lyx), but this only
works with very simple latex files and no with my text. Reading the mail
list I saw there is a new program called tex2lyx, which seems to be more
powerful than relyx and having the same functionality. So I installed (in
fact I copied the debian binary to a directory) tex2lyx in my system and
used it with my tex file. It seemd to work with no problem and produced a
lyx file.
But when I open this new lyx file with my lyx program (1.3.5 on suse 9.1)
it says, more or less, "the file was created with a newer version of lyx",
and it's not possible to read.
Reading again the mail list, I understood there is a python script called
lyx2lyx, which can convert lyx files for the 1.4 version to the 1.3.5
version, so I looked for this file and I found it in the source code of the
lyx 1.3.6 package. When I try to use this with
http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/LatexToLyx
python PATH \ --to 221 --output newfile_13x.lyx oldfile_14x.lyx
there is a lot of error messages I don't understand, but I think that I
should look for a lyx2lyx version adequated for my system, but I don't know
exactly where and If this could really help me to visualize the lyx
generated file for the 1.4 version. Has anybody has the same problem ? Is
it possible to obtain a lyx2lyx usable file for my system ? Maybe should I
obtain a better tex2lyx file for my system ?
If not possible, could I download and install the 1.4 version of lyx
although in development status ? Would it be worthy ?
Thanks.
Horacio.
