Hi Everyone,

I was trying to convert some LyX files via command line and came across a
non uniform behavior

In the lyx man page,this is the text under options part

-e [--export] fmt
             where fmt is the export format of choice (latex, pdflatex,
luala‐
             tex, xelatex, xhtml, text, lyx, ps, pdf,  ...).   Note  that
 the
             order of -e and -x switches matters.

xelatex and lualtex are stated here but lyx -e xelatex foo.lyx  and lyx -e
lualatex foo.lyx don't work but instead lyx -e xetex foo.lyx and lyx -e
luatex foo.lyx are the ones which work.

But in case of pdflatex lyx -e pdflatex foo.lyx works but lyx -e pdftex
foo.lyx doesn't.

I feel we need to either modify the man page according to the present
behavior or make a change in the script to have a uniform behavior.

Thanks and Regards
Prannoy
