Good idea. I agree that we should consider including it (in a separate paragraph, because the current paragraph says that you can "still compile" without those). > 2.

Ah, this is probably because German is used in the document, possibly as an example of how to include text as a separate language. LyX knows what needs to be added to the preamble and does it itself. If you wanted to add it yourself (which is not as recommended as letting LyX handle it for you), you could put it in "Class options" in Document > Settings. Scott
