Importing L^ATEX Documents-- reLyX

You can import a L^ATEX file into LYX by using the File $\triangleright$Import $\triangleright$LaTEX command in LYX. This will call a Perl script called reLyX--which will create a file foo.lyx from the file foo.tex--and then open that file. If the translation doesn't work, you can try calling reLyX from the command line^5.1, possibly using fancier options.

reLyX will translate most legal L^ATEX, but not everything. It will leave things it doesn't understand in TEX mode, so after translating a file with reLyX, you can look for red text and hand-edit it to look right.

reLyX has its own manpage. Read it to find out about which L^ATEX commands and environments aren't supported, bugs (and how to get around them), and how to use the various options.
