i am not sure this is simple - at least not for me.
if ones does:
1) export lyx to latex.
2) run latex and bibtex in order to generate the .bbl file containing
the bibliographic data.
3) convert the latex file to txt file (is that groff's doing?).
4) concatenate the bibliographic data to the txt file.
now, the citation keys within the text also needs to be substituted
with respect to the bibliography style selected (numbered, alphabetic,
sorted etc.). that is tricky?!?
maybe it is more feasible to utilize pstotext or catdvi or
ghostscript? but that leaves a problem with line numbers, page
numbers, footnotes, form feeds, and text wrapping. however, that could
be handled by a post processing script:
Lyx->PS->pstotext->script->txt (perfect - bibliography and all)
how about that?
