Suppose you have a simple LyX document like:

First line.
Second line.
Third line.

and export this as plain text. When viewed in a text editor, it looks like:

First line.

Second line.

Third line.

which seems wrong to me. If I had exported to LaTeX or TeX then the blank lines would correctly mark the ends of paragraphs, but in a plain text document they are artifacts which shouldn't be there.

When looking at the list of converters in Tools>Preferences>File Handling>Converters I couldn't see a converter producing simply plain text. Does that mean the export with the extra lines is part of the LyX code base?
