And it actually comes across very well. I recently had a new student (newbie when it comes to LyX etc) start in my group. I told her that she would be writing in LyX or LaTeX (choice up to her). She started reading the LyX documentation and very soon came into my office to say that she just loved the "what you mean" bit -- she had never heard anything similar and it just totally clicked with her! Anyway, back to writing real stuff... :) cheers, eric
