Do you have any idea when you will be completing this? I don't want to conflict with your project, but I am basically ready to submit mine to a print-on-demand service now for testing the print quality. > > One idea would be to split the book up into different parts -- multiple > > books within one printed copy. > > In my opinion there should only be two books within the book: the > tutorial and the userguide. > > The tutorial can be called "LyX in three days", what would be an > appetizer for beginners.

I am thinking of doing the extended and customization document in a second book. My current user guide (6x9 inch) with some sections from the tutorial and also some extra appendix is around 130 pages long. I will be adding three or four screenshots and I plan on adding some README*, INSTALL and other files to the appendix. Since I have merged in the Tutorial and have made some minor changes, I probably should not call it the "User's Guide" anymore. I may simple call my printed book "LyX Documentation Volume I". > BTW.

Is there a planned date for the official release of 1.4.x? Jeremy C. Reed BSD News, BSD tutorials, BSD links http://www.bsdnewsletter.com/
