Hi Alan, Thanks a lot for writing in. Actually the Wiki is editable. Just click on "Edit' in the upper-write of the Wiki page. It would be great if you took a crack at improving the page so others don't run into the same problems you did. If you are not confident in your edit, feel free to write to [email protected] if you have any specific questions. This list is more for LyX's built-in documentation (in the Help menu). Thanks for the help! Scott
