Hi, first, I'm using the 'book' class. This offers me a formatting
style called 'Comment'. But I also have, from the 'Edit' menu,
something called 'Note'. Neither of them produce any output in the
printout. Clearly something like this is very useful for text like "I
must remember to fix this bit!" and "Next time I revise this section
try to blah blah", but what is the difference between a Comment and
a Note, other than the colour? ;-)

Secondly, really the same question but applied to classes as a
whole: does anybody know of some web page somewhere that
explains how one selects which document class to use? I mean I know
what a 'book' is, but what about 'letter' and 'letter (koma-script)'
and what is the difference between a report and an article?

Finally, I have some problems converting tables from LyX to HTML.
Specifically, I'm only gettting the header row, and then some random
words from the content are squashed in to these cells.
You can see what I mean at http://tinyurl.com/6hvn7. I realise
this is more a latex2html question, but perhaps someone has some
advice? To do the conversion I'm using:

        #  export
        lyx --export latex ahdg.lyx
        #  move to new name so I can 'sed' back to original name
        mv ahdg.tex ahdg2.tex
        #  strip 'gobble' footnote code which confuses latex2html
        sed '/Special footnote code from the package/,/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]@twobracket\[#1\]#2{}/s/.*/%% REMOVED BY SED IN HTML PREPARATION/' ahdg2.tex 
> ahdg.tex
        #  now do the conversion.
        latex2html -link 1 -top_navigation -toc_depth 0 -t "Alexis Huxley's Debian 
Guide" -info "" -local_icons -split +1 -toc_depth 6 -show_section_numbers ahdg.tex

(If you strip the last few components off the tinyurl, then you
can find a tar.gz containing the .lyx version.)

Thanks! (for any answers, but also for LyX! It's great!)

Alexis
