Hello,
I'm considering to switch from texmacs to lyx but I don't want
to loose my old documents, to this end I tried to export my documents
from texmacs to latex format and use the import function of lyx to
import it in .lyx format. I I do this then I see that macros that are
added by texmacs to the latex file are not used in lyx, having as
effect that texmacs theorem, proposition , enumerations etc .. are
not rendered correctly when I view them in lyx. If I use 'latex' to
generate a .dvi file from the exported .tex file from texmacs then
everything is rendered in the correct way.
Right. The conversion is done by a program tex2lyx that does not
recognize the environments you are using. The things it does recognize
are detailed in the manpage for the program.
Is there a way to import latex files containing macros in lyx
(more specifically latex generated by texmacs).
Yeah, improve tex2lyx. ;-)
Seriously, the only way to do this (other than manually) would be to
write some kind of program that does the conversion.
Actually, there is a bit more you can do here. If you change the
document class from letter to amsbook, say, then LyX will convert the
proof environment: This is because amsbook defines that environment, so
LyX knows about it. Similarly, if you change "theorem" to "thm"---which
is how it is done in amsmath.inc---then LyX will also convert that. Same
goes for proposition --> prop. So that's another option.
