John I suppose this would be utterly trivial to code, unless I'm John missing something ? How do you add the % in front of all lines?

I suppose this would be utterly trivial to code, unless I'm missing something ? Well, you have to be somewhat careful. You probably don't want to copy every %whatever as a LyX note. What about %'s that are put in to fix line breaks in TeX commands? You might want to check the archives, because I think we discussed this long ago. I know Lars had talked about using Comment style for this. There is a Comment style in LyX already, right? -Amir
