I went to the LyX bug trac and found I would need to create yet another tracker login to enter the ticket. As I am not interested in keeping track of YetAnotherTracLogin currently, I give you&|the LyX user&|dev lists permission to use any and all of the text of my report of this issue to enter any needed LyX Trac ticket(s) on this set of issues. Thanks again for all the help you have rendered. Even when this disclaimer is not here: I am not a contracting officer. I do not have authority to make or modify the terms of any contract.

command line text export different than GUI?
I am wondering why a get a different result from the GUI than from the command line when attempting to export to a text file. I am also wondering what incantation I would need to use to get results as I get from the GUI by going to latex and then to text+++. test process: Open testexport.lyx File->Export->Plain text #back on command line mv testexport.txt testexportGUI.txt lyx --export text testexport.lyx diff -u testexportGUI.txt testexport.txt And in case it is not apparent, I do prefer the GUI's version of the export. BTW Pavel's patch in this post needs updated, at least in 1.6.10** and probably later versions http://lyx.475766.n2.nabble.com/Command-line-export-tp482733p482740.html from "Tools->Preferences->File formats->Format" to "Tools->Preferences->File Handling->File formats->Format" and perhaps a further note that it is the "Short Name" which should be used on the command line. ** I know 1.6 will not get an update, but as it is the one I run, that points out how early there was already a disconnect. +++ exporting to latex and running `latex -output-format=text testexport.tex` several times, and THEN opening the file in xdvi to save as text is less than satisfying. And `lyx --export text3 testexport.lyx` is NOT pretty. Even when this disclaimer is not here: I am not a contracting officer.
