I can see why you would be confused regarding why your name is not mentioned. I do not know. Perhaps there was some confusion on Francisco's part as to when to reference other work. > A few XY-features are indeed mentioned that I left out from my manual.

I do not know XY-Pic so I have no opinion on what should or should not go in. > What really amazes me about that paper by Mr. Rodrìguez Redondo though, is > that my manual is not mentioned once in his article - neither in the text > nor in its references.

I don't have any knowledge other than that. I'm not sure what the correct way to proceed is and I don't know if this has come up yet in LyX (usually we just deal with direct translations and in these cases the author is the original author). In any case, it seems that H.Peter should appear as the/an author. Thank you for your detailed reply, Scott
