Right. Composing the same document layout without using text frames is
really difficult. Visually impaired users might want to use the plain
text exportation format instead.

This is because the CLI version doesn't use the preferences that the
GUI version does. I will think about whether it makes sense to make it
use it or not.

If the CLI (command line input) version doesn't use the GUI version preferences, it should provide more options to set output preferences like line breaks and column detection.
