Hello,

At least in the biological sciences, most journals can't accept LaTeX, and so 
it's important for us to be able to export to RTF format for final submission 
of papers. In LyX 1.5.0beta3 (and also in the 1.4 series), exporting to RTF 
works well with a notable exception: super- and subscripts in text. The 
reason for this is that these text superscripts are handled as $^\text{some 
text}$, and latex2rtf doesn't recognize the \text command. Consequently, the 
super and subscripts simply get omitted, which is a problem especially in 
papers that are heavy on chemical formulas...

However, latex2rtf does handle \textsuperscript and \textsubscript correctly. 
Would it be possible to have LyX implement things using these commands 
instead of using the math-mode commands?

An example document is attached. Under LyX 1.5.0beta3, one simply needs to 
export as Rich Text Format and then open the file with OpenOffice to see what 
I'm talking about.

Best,
--Tim
