No, we don't seem to use the plaintext output routine for this. The string version is created by CursorData::selectionAsString, called from cap::copySelection, which calls Paragraph::toString, which calls the toString method of each of the insets. By default, that does nothing, and InsetNewline does not seem to have an override. Presumably, it could, but we seem to skip newline characters here on purpose, since AS_STR_NEWLINE does not get set. I'm not sure why that is. Riki
