John, Have a look at https://writer2latex.sourceforge.net/index.html I have used Writer2LaTeX a few years ago and found it very helpful when using what was then called the "Ultraclean" Option, which I don't see on this much more current version on cursory look. Install both writer2latex.oxt and

I use lyx 2.3.6 on my debian (bullseye) system I often file in Pacer, the database used by the US federal court system. Normally, I just do regular lyx stuff and once the file is ready, export with pst2pdf (to insure that line numbers exist at the left side of each page) and upload to
