Subject: updatedocs.py: more robust save with LyX binary
X-Git-Url: https://git.lyx.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=29ae7b31c2cc64a1620655de1d8cfd70a8e044b7;p=features.git

updatedocs.py: more robust save with LyX binary

The "force" argument is more robust than trying to make an edit and
then inverse the edit.

The "force" argument exists since fe09ddf1.
