In my title I tried to insert: Revision ERT{\input{build_id}}
On the screen, it says: \INPUT{BUILD_ID} because I'm using ams art, and title is caps. I chose 'view source', it says: \title{SCMA Design Document\\ Revision \input{build_id}} \maketitle OK, fine. Just a screen buglet. Wait, no! lyx --export pdf <file> ! LaTeX Error: File `BUILD_ID.tex' not found. Ouch!
