Hello LyXers,
I'm proud to announce a completely revised LyX UserGuide. The current UserGuide was the last time
comletely revised for LyX 1.2. In the meantime LyX has got many new features that are currently not
mentioned in the UserGuide or only partly described.
The changelog of the new UserGuide looks therefore impressive:
New:
* description of index generation
* description of nomenclature generation
* description of change tracking
* description of the thesaurus
* description of Notes
* description of bibliography generated by a database (BibTeX)
* description of ERT together with a short introduction to the LaTeX-syntax
* longtable description in the section about tables
* hint about phonetic symbols
* description of image, font, and output file formats
* description file encodings
* new appendix where all menus and toolbars are listed, this can be used a graphical index of
the LyX features since every entry contains an explanation or a link where an explanation of the
feature can be found
* added images for the menu buttons
* the document has now an index
* the document has now a nomenclature
* the document has now a BibTeX bibliography
Revised:
* all menu names are updated to the ones of LyX 1.5.2svn
* math chapter
* section about (protected) spaces
* section about branches
* section about spell checking
* section about previewing
---------------------------------
The UserGuide is now up to date for LyX 1.5.1 and will hopefully be ready for the next release, LyX
1.5.2. Currently only appendix B in not yet finished.
So many changes can of course introduce some bugs. I therefore would like to
have some feedback,
please report any type of errors: Errors when producing output, typos, unclear descriptions, wrong
references, etc.
