I have found a few out-of-date points in the LyX documentation; these were
found in the SVN trunk.

1.  Tutorial 2.1 says that you can use the Documents menu to switch between
open documents; this has been moved to the View menu.

2.  User's Guide 6.6.4 says to use the Edit -> Paragraph Settings dialog to
force page breaks, but this function is no longer there; instead it is done
using Insert -> Special Character -> Page Break.

3.  A footnote in Introduction 3.2.2 states that the documentation is kept
in the lyxdoc CVS module, but it has been moved to SVN and the lyx-devel module.

4.  The quoting rules float in documentation Style Sheet 8.3.3 says that you
should correct spelling or grammatical errors in quotations and insert
"[sic]".  As confirmed by Wikipedia and several dictionaries (both British
and American), "sic" indicates that an error has been retained verbatim from
the original source.

5.  http://www.lyx.org/devel/cvs.php contradicts itself: under lyx-devel in
the Modules section, it states that "The development will progress in
branches and the main trunk will stay stable" while the SVN Branches section
says that trunk is the unstable branch.
