Since lyx performs most of the basic tasks, you'll probably need more latex-tips than actual latex by itself. A nice FAQ in French http://www.grappa.univ-lille3.fr/FAQ-LaTeX/ Some help in English http://www.giss.nasa.gov/latex/ Don't forget H. Voss' Tips, which heavily rely on LaTeX http://www.

Hello, As some of you might know, documentation is not the highest priority in many software projects. My new workplace is no exception. I therefore want to try and set a standard here for how documentation is supposed to be done. We use WinNT, and I'm therefore using LyX for Win32 (1.1.5fix2).
