Tex2LyxInvokedFromLyx

To invoke tex2lyx from LyX do the following:

• Install tex2lyx
• Include in your PATH the directory where tex2lyx is, so that LyX can find it
• Inside LyX, in Edit -> Preferences -> Converters, choose LaTeX->LyX and, on the right side, write tex2lyx -f $$i $$o in the Converter field

This assumes that you have at least LyX 1.3.6, and that you upgraded lyx2lyx as explained in LatexToLyx.

To invoke tex2lyx from LyX 1.3.5 and older in Windows do the following:

• Install tex2lyx
• Create a tex2lyx.cmd file with the following content:

   @echo off
   set PYTHONPATH=xxxx

   %~dp0tex2lyx.exe -f -sysdir %~dp0..\resources\lyx %1 > temp.lyx

   %PYTHONPATH%\python %~dp0..\resources\lyx\lyx2lyx\lyx2lyx --to 221 --output %2 temp.lyx 
   del temp.lyx

• Include in your PATH the directory where tex2lyx.cmd is, so that LyX can find it
• Inside LyX, in Edit -> Preferences -> Converters, choose LaTeX->LyX and, on the right side, write tex2lyx.cmd $$i $$o in the Converter field
