Do you mean the one that is lined here?: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/DocumentationDevelopment When you follow the link and scroll to the bottom you find a link named Download in other formats: * Plain Text * Original Format When you choose "Original format" your get the LyX file.
1.1 Welcome to LyX [second paragraph] . . . tried to put three blank lines . . . [other than with contexts such as Section 1, etc., normal practice in English is to write numbers up to 10 or 20 in full except where it is helpful to use them to distinguish groups, e.g. five scored less than 15 but twenty-five scored over 60]
Thanks for this info. I often asked myself how to do it correctly but couldn't find a rule. The problem with English that there aren't official rules. For example I'm currently writing my thesis and need to know the English comma rules, but nobody knows them. Can you possibly point me to the English comma rules?
2.1 Your first LYX document
“subtle” [English typesetting practice is to use single opening and closing quotes - ` and ' `'- the argument for adopting this throughout the documentation would be that it would be more like a typeset rather than a word-processed document]
When are double quotes used and when single quotes? Is there a webpage with this rule?
3.4 Labels and Cross-References . . . among the most significant advantages . . . [among is needed as there are two things; the idiomatic English phrase 'one of the best' is normally used with relatively concrete nouns and rarely with abstract nouns such as 'advantage']
I don't understand. What would be the whole sentence?
Your first cross-reference Place the cursor somewhere in Section 3 of your document. Type
Why section 3 and not 2? Why are you using a capital letter at the beginning of "Section"?
Now — with the cursor after the word `Section' — choose Insert Cross Reference or the toolbar button... (3) there is a bug in 1.6.3 which means that Apply no longer works and you cannot select the label and then the format - selecting the label is equivalent to selecting OK - unless I have missed the way to turn off this behaviour!).
I don't see a bug. Apply works here correctly: Pressing Apply is the same as pressing OK, with the difference that the dialog is not closed.
many thanks and regards Uwe
