The References.lyx file invites us to submit corrections to lyx-docs. I am writing an explanation of how to submit a patch/correction to a .lyx file.
How does this sound: "Patches against .lyx files can be made using diff -u -p oldfile newfile. If this generates irrelevant changes you should open oldfile with your current version of lyx and save it again. This will submit the relevant changes without changing the lyx version. If you wish the patch to change the version of the lyx file, adding the "-B" option without resaving oldfile should safely eliminate the irrelevant whitespace changes." Also, although the file suggests we submit to lyx-docs, the actual discussion of documentation patches seems to occur on lyx-devel. Should I change this? Also the lyx team does not want to use change tracking for the LyX documentation? -- John C. McCabe-Dansted Masters Student
