I will resume to your other issues when I find time.
Here we are:
UserGuide:
> section 4.6.2. When inserting Figure Floats, why are not *centered*
Graphics the default???
This has been discussed very often and the decision is to keep LaTeX's
default.
> section 4.6.2: you explain how to insert two figures in the same
figure float. But you don’t explain how to put the side by side, or how
to put one above the other.
Section 4.6.2 contains already an example how to put floats side by
side. One upon another is quite self explanatory in my opinions.
> section 6.2.1: “Unnumbered sections are not listed in the TOC”. What
if I want to list it in the TOC, as e.g. the Preface, etc.?
Use the TeX command \addcontentsline:
http://www.ctex.org/documents/latex/latex2e-html/ltx-171.html
> section 6.2.2… OK – examples are not floats, but it would be useful
to be able to make a List of Examples. And a List of Theorems, etc.
For theorems you have to install the LaTeX package "thmtools"
(https://www.ctan.org/pkg/thmtools)
Then you can use the TeX command \listoftheorems.
(see sec. 1.5 of this file for examples:
http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/ctan/macros/latex/exptl/thmtools/thmtools.pdf )
> And what about a List of Program Listing
This is already supported by LyX like the other lists.
> – even if I don’t use a floating Listings box?
How will you the list them if they don't exist?
> section 6.3.2: I would have assumed that any cross-reference would be
turned into a hyperlink, with jump to the location of the key. You write
“The hyperlink type can be a weblink…, an Email address…, or a link to a
file”. You don’t include a cross-reference.
Because LyX's hyperlink inset is for custom links to things outside of
the document.
> section 6.5.2: “To use a database, use the menu
Insert>List/TOC>BibTeX Bibliography”. Can you say something about where
this list should be inserted in the document, and whether there is a
relation to where it is inserted, and where it appears in the printed
document?
You can insert wherever you like. For scientific papers there are rules
given by the publishers. So in some cases it depends on the document class.

EmbeddedObjects:
> section 1.2: (i) can I have maximum 2 graphics elements side by side,
or any number of them?
Any number. Of course you then need to change the size of the images in
the float to e.g. each 30 col% when you need 3 floats side by side.
> (ii) how do I specify whether they are side by side, or on top of
each other?
Everything that is within one paragraph will be side by side. 2 floats
in 2 paragraphs will appear one upon another.
> chapter 8: it *seems* like fonts LuxiMono and BeraMono *do not* give
bold face fonts for syntax highlighting
Then you forgot to set these fonts also for the other font types
(sansserif and roman).
> while Insert/Program Listing, the Default Font is always chosen. How
can set up LyX so that it always uses the Typewriter font??
Go to the document settings and in the Listings section type in
basicstyle=
then add \ttfamily behind the = (basicstyle=\ttfamily) as LyX proposed
as possibility.
Math:
> section 4: Is it possible to add separation lines between matrix
columns? Like dotted lines, etc.?
No. Use tables in this case.
> “Advice for integrals”. Why not introduce a macro or something for
the differentiation operator?
This is up to you - there are different ways to get a certain output.
> And I assume this typesetting advice is just as valid for derivtives,
e.g. dx/dt?
Yes.
> section 15.2: it would be nice if you stated whether self-defined
functions/operators are previewed in LyX, or if they appear with TeX code.
What do you mean?
> section 20: here, and I think also several other places, you state
that shortcut Alt+C R gives upright font style, with reference to
Section 11.1. But in Section 11.1 p. 32-33, it is *not clear* what you
refer to. And if you have short-cuts for these font styles, why not list
the shortcuts? E.g. in the table p. 32…
Thanks, I will add the shortcuts to section 11.
> section 22 on User-defined Commands… it would be nice if this section
was extended and made a little bit clearer
This is a very wide range to describe. The manual can only give a small
insight with the focus on math.
> Somewhere, I found tips for inserting numbers with units: \unittwo…
This is only described in Appendix A.
