LyX ⇒ Problems with importing TeX documents with math environments

[domherre]

I am using Lyx 1.6.7.
Problem: I cannot seem to import a .tex document containing theorem or definition environments.

To reproduce the problem:
1. Start a new empty lyx document add any ams math module.
2. Create a theorem in it an export to .tex
3. Import the .tex

Now Lyx will not recognize the envoirment and the document will contain tex code such as \begin{thm}. The problem is even after adding the ams math module, lyx refuses to compile the document.

"\begin{thm} Test \end{thm} \begin{proof} test \end{proof}
Your command was ignored.

I'm having the exact same problem in LyX version 2.2.1. Would really appreciate a solution.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

It seems you need to explicitly load the amsthm package, such as in the document preamble:

\usepackage{amsthm}

Yes i did this. I loaded amsthm in the preamble. It still does not work for some reason.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Then please post the exact error message. Even better would be the .log file, as attachment here.

I guess my problem is slightly different. It will still compile, but the theorem environments are not recognised by LyX.

So as an example document:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}
\begin{document}
Test
\begin{thm}
Test theorem.
\end{thm}
\end{document}

I imported this into LyX. It compiles but "\begin{theorem}" and "\end{theorem}" are in red boxes.

And what about the .log file?

Ok, I don't see any problem. If there's a red box, don't know what cosmetic thing it is, as it compiles, and there's no actual issue mentioned.

[roberthannah89]

Well the issue for me is that the document is now hard to read, much like a .tex source file. Theorem environments are possible in LyX, but they are not recognised.
