- There has been a large change in how Flex insets are named. Previously,
they tended to have names like "CharStyle:Noun". Now, they just have
names like "Flex:Noun" (where "Flex" is a namespace that is optional).
When LyX 2.0 reads older files, it silently converts the old-style names
to new-style names; this direction works perfectly. It will also silently
revert new-style names to old-style names, when exporting to 1.6.x format,
but only for the pre-defined LyX insets. This means that user-defined flex
insets will not be properly reverted.
To solve this problem, you can modify the file $LYXDIR/lyx2lyx/lyx_2_0.py.
In that file, you will find the following:
names like "Flex:Noun" (where the "Flex" prefix is now required). When
LyX 2.0 reads older files, it silently converts the old-style names
to new-style names; this direction works almost perfectly. The one place
it does not work is with CopyStyle declarations, IF your old InsetLayout
was NOT named "CharStyle:..." or "Custom:..." or "Element:...", but, say,
just "MyInset". In that case, "InsetLayout MyInset" will be changed to
"InsetLayout Flex:MyInset", but "CopyStyle MyInset" will be left as is.
Users will need to make that kind of change manually. The best way to do
this is to use the layout2layout.py script, which gets installed in
$LYXDIR/scripts/layout2layout.py, to convert your custom layout files to
the new format, and then check them for correctness.
LyX will also silently revert new-style names to old-style names when

This is a map from new-style names (minux "Flex") to old-style names (and
there is a similar for DocBook elements). To get a user-defined CharStyle
to revert properly, it simply needs to be added to this list.
