LF in latex export
On Macos 10.7.4, Lyx 2.0.4 i want to export a Lyx document to normal Latex. I noticed, that in the exported document, each line has a LineFeed (LF) even though it is not the end of a paragraph. If you open the Lyx document in a text editor, each line has a LineFeed too. If you export to open document and from there to latex, the document preserves the LineFeed for the end of a paragraph. Only every paragraph in LibreOffice and the exported latex file has a LF. How can i achieve a direct exported latex file from Lyx with a LineFeed only after each paragraph? Reason: Latex compiles the exported files fine, but editing in a Latex Editor like TexMaker gets pretty nasty with a LF for each line and not only for each paragraph. Any hints, comments?

Yes, this is a feature. By default it is cut at 65 characters (a bit more in reality), but you can change this limit to 1000 in PreferencesOutputGeneral.

Fancy LaTeX editors like TexMaker or TexShop seem to think that unbounded lines are cool, but serious ones (say, emacs) cut lines for you. Why? Assume you have an error at line 1216, and this line has 3000 characters. Is it easy to find the culprit? Assume you want to collaborate and use a version control software like svn, then any concurrent modification in a paragraph will create conflict (same line). With broken paragraphs, the situation is better. JMarc
Re: LF in latex export
Thanks for all your helpful comments and hints. I see that such fancy editors like Texmaker / Texshop have some real disadvantages in case of debugging / error finding and some slight advantages in content visibilty. I try to live with the LF per line and fidle with the 65 charakters per line options. Andreas
