Hi lyx-users,

whenever I use double quotes "  in lyx,   I get  instead the expression
\textquotedbl{} in the plain latex file. Strangely enough, lyx does not
translate \textquotedbl{} to "  if I attempt to import the tex file.
This behavior does not affect latex compilation, but it does strain my
collaborations with scientific workplace users.
Why doesn't lyx simply export " to "?

You are talking about the " character, which is not a double quote at all. Rather, it is the "inch" character, or something of the sort. Still, you are right that \textquotedbl ought to be imported as ", since the impossible ideal is to have roundtrip export and import. I'd suggest you file a bug about this at
