Commands such as \url and \index don't like latex macros in their
argument, and the UserGuide is full of them:
$ egrep "\\(url|index)[{].*(LyX|TeX).*[}]" UserGuide.tex | wc -l
46
This is due to the LyX -> \LyX and TeX -> \TeX translations performed
by LyX.
When the words LyX or TeX (or LaTeX, or BibTeX, or ...) appear in the
argument of one of those commands, they should be marked as ERT in
order to avoid their translation to a macro.
