clean'?
I recognize the problem. Touching is annoying and one has to be carefull such
one does not include a single space that lyx eats. Therefore I usually have an
open ERT that I put a new whitespace into. I guess one could also have a comment
environment and there include any crap.
The thing is, one has to make sure the resulting latex file is different from
the last.
This brings me to a question for the developers. Is there a reason for not using
the excellent program make to handle rebuilding of the document? When I like to
view a document, it seems like all conversions are made over again even if they
have not changed. I think make would handle the checking of new versions
without much effort.
I guess you don't want to use an additional program which has to be installed.
However, make is pretty small, 130K on my computer.
