Quick question: why doesn't LyX do this? abc<ert>def</ert> ghi -to tex- abcdef\ ghi
I totally agree that you shouldn't mess with ert; that's the point of ert. But this would protect the spaces _outside_ of ert as Dieter described. For that matter, this could be applied to any other insert if desired. If this results in an offending space, removing the unwanted space obvious, whereas at present adding a wanted space can be quite dumbfounding. Just curious. David
