I think "TeX-Code" is Uwe's preferred phrasing, and is what is in most
of the docs.

Long time ago it turned out that many users don't know what ERT is. As the button for it is named "TeX" and the term "TeX-code" was already somewhere in the docs, I consistently replaced ERT by TeX-code. I admit that I was not thinking about possible consequences, I just wanted consistent docs when I took over them and to have a more meaningful name.

We also already had a lengthy discussion about it. I agree that "evil red text" is funny, but meaningless. Even experienced LyX users of my students didn't know about it. So we agreed to leave it in the docs.

If you make now an announcement wit the term "ERT" we can expect that most of the users don't know what we mean. (Note also that except of some Wiki pages, this term is nowhere explained since years now.)

Whatever the meaning of ERT (I still like the old meaning, btw) the
previous entry correctly stated that the commands should be in ERT.
It is not the same as TeX-code, because the following (where [[ and ]]
delimit ERT)

[[\input{]]name[[}]]

is TeX-code which is not (fully) in ERT.

This is not TeX-Code. TeX-code is the name of the inset/box. Its content can be everything. I think that the docs clearly state this.
