A worse problem is that prettyref is not in teTeX 2 (at least) because
of unknown license:

So your EmbeddedObjects help file cannot be typeset. This is a blocker
for 1.4.4. As a temporary measure, shall we remove reference to
prettyref in the 1.4 version of the manual at least?
I don't know, I only decribed what LyX supports, so when I should remove it in the doc, it should
also be removed in LyX or better replaced by another command from a similar package to prettyref.
Another question Uwe: why is this discussion on references hidden in
the Float chapter? There are many entities besides floats the deserve
a reference.
It is not, there is also a description in the table section. The manual describes the floats and not
referencing at all. For example references to formulas will be described in the math manual I'm
working on. Referencing in general is explained in detail in the Userguide.
