OK, it would be nice to be able to dynamically generate those images.

OK, even if the Debian stable guys won't be happy to read "Hey! LyX 12.99.13 is out!" while their distro offers LyX 1.6.7 :) > > ?

Cheers Let's see... - Instant preview - XY-Pic - CAS integration - Auto-backup - Shortcut customization - XHTML & OpenOffice export - Import from OpenOffice/MS Office - Version control - ERT insets - View source - Include another document - Advanced search - Document comparison - TOC - Include various formats of file - Spell checker - Thesaurus - LaTeX preamble - Math macros - Mascot meaning - Dia integration - "There's a user list!" - "Contribute!" These are the most interesting hidden (or less hidden) things for my everyday use of LyX. But I'm sure there's a hidden wiki page somewhere which explains how LyX can make you a coffee. Other things like "You can make a presentation with LyX" should automatically become better known if we put it clearly in the start page. venom00 P.S. Why don't we put an easter egg in LyX? For instance: if you write "Word is better than LyX" something funny happen :P
