So, *that's* what ERT stands for. I had gathered that it referred to 
LaTeX code inserted into a LyX document, but I never knew how it got the 
initials ERT. Echoes of the recent discussion about MWE (it took me a 
while to figure out how an attached file would earn the acronym MWE). 
And, then there was my even-older brother-in-law, who always ended his 
emails with LOL (as in Lots of Love) until my wife asked him what he was 
always laughing about.
