[Vimoutliner] otl to headline numbering conversion program? (Steve Litt)

[Grahame Blackwood]

Hi Steve

I think you have already done this. You gave me some guidance back in February 
about how to use otl2lyx.pl and I now use otl2lyx.pl often. I am sure you can 
use it to convert your test piece into the desired result if you have 
'Updmerge documentation' as a second level heading, making sure there is a 
top level heading as otl2lyx doesn't seem to like a file that starts with a 
tab. 

Following your guidance I create a LyX document with two lines eg 'a' and 'b' 
then run otl2lyx within a script and then using vim, read the output tmp.lyx 
into the LyX document between the two lines 'a' and 'b', save the file and 
exit vim. Then open up the LyX file and a little bit of tweaking such as 
deleting the lines 'a' and 'b' and the top heading you put in the otl file 
and that should get you close to what you want, unless I have misunderstood 
you.

I use a script 'lyxify' to process the otl file and it reads as follows:

#!/bin/sh
cat $1 | ./otl2lyx.pl > tmp.lyx 

Thanks for otl2lyx.pl I find it really useful.

Cheers
