I fixed the documentation to solve http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1396 http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1397 http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1464
the document could be found in bug 1464 as attachment: http://bugzilla.lyx.org/attachment.cgi?id=530&action=view
While looking into the file I find out that the preamble was changed for the last time in 1997. So I took a closer look into the doc and rewrote it in the following way:
- clean up the preamble:
- use the class 'scrbook' instead of 'book'
(scrbook has a better implementation of environments and is
recommended by TUG and Dante)
- use A4-paper instead of 'standard'
- set margins
(scrbook has a beautiful print space but most of the users
won't print out the doc. So I used the two-sided style but
centerd the text in the page for better viewing on the screen)
- added vertiacal space between footnotes
(when you have more tan one footnote at a page, they 'adhere'
together)
- delete the unneeded declaration of non-T1 encoded characters
use the package textcomp instead
(see also the note above the table in chapter 6.6.3)
- let the index appear in the TOC with the package tocbibind
- added support for linked cross-references and URLs with the package
hyperref
(you can click on all footnotes, cross-references and URLs in dvi
or pdf output. The TOC entries are also clickable. In pdf output
you can furthermore use bookmarks) - (The packages tocbibind and hyperref are standard in usual
LaTeX-distribution, so that this shouldn't make any problems)- clean up the document:
- the TOC pages are numbered roman
- clean up the bibliography
- arrange the doc, so that most of the 'overfull \hbox' and font
warnings in the LaTeX-logfile disappear
- rearrange chapter 4.3.1.1
- rearrange chapter 6.6.3
- delete the chapter names of chapter 1.2.2.1, 3.4.4.1 and the
old chapter 5.6.1
(because if there is only a chapter 5.6.1 but no 5.6.2, it is
unnecessary to have an extra chapter-level)You can find my version of the Userguide.lyx under http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/LyX/UserGuideA4PDF.lyx
I hope you find it useful.
Btw. Who is the actual doc maintainer?
regards Uwe
