Overhaul of the tex2lyx manpage

- make it autogenerated
- clean up the markup
- remove obsolete information
- try to update in general

Hopefully I did not break the markup...

.SH "OPTIONS"
.Ip "\fB\-c\fR" 4
.TP
.BI \-c
Class. By default, when \fBtex2lyx\fR sees a \f(CW\edocumentclass{foo}\fR command, it
creates a file of textclass \*(L"foo\*(R" and reads the LyX layout file for that class
(something like /usr/local/share/lyx/layouts/foo.layout \s-1OR\s0
\fB\s-1HOME\s0\fR/.lyx/layouts/foo.layout). Use \fB\-c\fR to declare a different textclass
(and read a different layout file).
.Ip "\fB\-d\fR" 4
Debug. By default, \fBtex2lyx\fR gives sparse output and deletes the temporary files
which were created during translation. Using the \fB\-d\fR flag will create much
more output (both to stdout and stderr) and leave the temporary files around.
.Ip "\fB\-f\fR" 4
.TP
.BI \-f
Force. \fBtex2lyx\fR will not run if the .lyx file it would generate already exists.
Use the \fB\-f\fR option (carefully) to clobber any existing files.
.Ip "\fB\-help\fR" 4
.TP
.BI \-help
Help. Print out usage information and quit.
.Ip "\fB\-n\fR" 4
.TP
.BI \-n
Noweb. Translate a noweb (aka literate programming) file. This should be
(almost?) equivalent to running \*(L"noweb2lyx foo.tex foo.lyx\*(R". This option
requires the \fB\-c\fR option.
.Ip "\fB\-p\fR" 4
.TP
.BI \-p
Partial file. The input files are LaTeX fragments, with no preamble matter or
\f(CW\ebegin{document}\fR commands. This option requires the \fB\-c\fR option, since there
are no \f(CW\edocumentclass\fR commands in the files \fBtex2lyx\fR is translating. When
using this option, you can translate more than one file, as long as all files
are the same class. The LyX file created by \fBtex2lyx\fR can be included in an
existing LyX file using the \*(L"Include LyX File\*(R" command from LyX's Insert menu.

LyX's Insert menu. (\fBNOTE\fR: this feature of the older \fBreLyX\fR script has
not yet been implemented in \fBtex2lyx\fR).
.TP
.BI \-r
Regular environments (see the section on \fISyntax Files\fR). If you give more than one
environment, separate them with commas (not spaces). You'll probably need to
quote the environment list, especially if it has asterisk environments (foo*)
in it. If you use this command often, considering creating a personal syntax

in addition to the default. (see the section on \fISyntax Files\fR for details).

Here's a more lengthy description of what you should do to translate a LaTeX
document into LyX.

.IP ""
\fBtex2lyx\fR will inform you of its progress and give any warnings to stderr, so if
you don't want any output at all, try (in csh) \*(L'tex2lyx foo.tex >& /dev/null\*(R'.
You should \s-1NOT\s0 redirect standard output to \fIfoo.lyx\fR.

.IP ""
In theory, most of the file will have been translated, and anything that's
untranslatable will be transferred to TeX code (ERT in LyX-speak). In theory, LyX will be
able to read in the file, and to create printed documents from it, because all
that untranslated ERT stuff will be passed directly back to LaTeX, which LyX
uses as a backend. Unfortunately, reality doesn't always reflect theory. If
\fBtex2lyx\fR crashes, or LyX cannot read the generated LyX file, see the \f(CWBUGS\fR section below.
.Ip "\(bu" 4
.IP "\(bu" 4
Transform things have been inserted as TeX code manually to LyX features, if possible.
.Sp
.IP ""
As mentioned above, you should be able to print out the LyX file even without
doing this. However, changing a command in TeX code to the corresponding LyX
object will allow you to take advantage of LyX's \s-1WYSIWYM\s0 editing.
.Sp
.IP ""
\fBtex2lyx\fR is not guaranteed to create a LyX file which generates exactly the same
output as the LaTeX file, although its goal is to achieve this. \fBtex2lyx\fR will generally err
on the side of translating less to ensure that the resulting output files are accurate,
even though this leads to more TeX code and less \s-1WYSIWYM\s0.

I'm sure you were planning on doing this anyway, but it's particularly
important after translating a LaTeX document. \fBtex2lyx\fR is better
at \*(L"macro-translating\*(R" (translating the whole document) than
\*(L"micro-translating\*(R" (translating every little detail). For example, you may see
extra spaces or deleted spaces. Space handling has improved, but it's
not perfect.

For a number of commands (such as \f(CW\e\e\fR), LyX does not support the optional argument.
\fBtex2lyx\fR will automatically discard the optional arguments with a warning to
stdout. LyX also ignores the width argument for the thebibliography
environment.

LyX support for tables isn't perfect. For complicated tables, use a \*(L"skip\*(R"
block, so that they will be copied in TeX mode.

LyX allows figures to have sizes in the units known to TeX, such as in, cm, etc. It also
translates percentages of \etextwidth, \etextheight, \ecolumnwidth, but no other lengths
(e.g. if you wanted to scale a figure to size \etopmargin for some reason). \fBtex2lyx\fR
will copy figures with untranslatable sizes in TeX mode. Again, you might be able to fix
that within LyX.

\fBtex2lyx\fR is actively maintained. Commands and environments will be added in the future.
Bugs will be eradicated. The most important task will be to make \fBtex2lyx\fR unicode

The above will create a file foo.lyx from foo.tex, overwriting if
necessary. When it finds a \f(CW\ebegin{myenv} ... \eend{myenv}\fR block, it will
translate the stuff within the block, but copy the \f(CW\ebegin\fR and \f(CW\eend\fR
commands in TeX mode. Finally, it's going to keep the temporary files around
and output lots of debugging information into the file foo.debug.

If \fBtex2lyx\fR is crashing or otherwise acting strangely---in ways
other than those described in the section on \fI\s-1BUGS\s0\fR or on
\fI\s-1http://bugzilla.lyx.org\s0\fR---then please run
\fBtex2lyx \-d\fR. That will allow you to figure out where in the tex2lyxing process
it crashed. That, in turn, will allow you to write a better bug report, which
will allow the developers to fix it more quickly and easily.

.SS "Bug Reports"
Bugs should be reported to the LyX bug tracker at http://bugzilla.lyx.org. Additionally,
you can post a message to the LyX developers\*(R' mailing list. Its address is currently
lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org. If your message bounces, you can check the LyX home page,
http://www.lyx.org. If you are running \fBtex2lyx\fR on a huge file, please do not send all of the output in
http://www.lyx.org/. If you are running \fBtex2lyx\fR on a huge file, please do not send all of the output in
your bug report. Just include the last ten or twenty lines of output, along with

complete file which causes the same problem as your original file.

.PP
If you have the \euse_tempdir variable set to false in your lyxrc (or did not
have defined a temporary directory path in LyX's preferences, respectively),
LyX will create its temporary files in your current directory, which means your
LaTeX original may be overwritten (without a warning from LyX) when you view
or export the LyX document.
The system directory is determined by searching for the file
"chkconfig.ltx". Directories are searched in this order:

1) \-sysdir command line parameter
.br
2) @LYX_DIR_VER@ environment variable

3) Maybe <path of binary>/TOP_SRCDIR/lib
