9 There have been some changes to the LyX command line. The following new
10 options have been added:
12 -export-to <format> <dest> (-E <format> <dest>)
14 Allows one to perform a batch export of the LyX file that is opened
15 to the specified destination file <dest> and format <format>.
16 For example, to create a PDF of a LyX document, you can run:
17 lyx -export-to pdf /path/to/dest.pdf /path/to/source.lyx
18 See the manual page for details.
19 This functionality is also available via a new menu voice
20 Export->Export As..., that pops up a dialog allowing one to
21 choose the export format, as well as the destination pathname.
22 Also, it is available via the mini-buffer (or the -x switch)
23 through a proper new LFUN (see below).

52 - LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE ("inset-toggle"): For some insets, this function was used
