My foult, the Customization entry is in German too (Hilfe>Anpassung) in 1.3.3, so I was just writing this from memory of old LyXes. However, still such basic stuff as export to LaTeX, PS or HTML is hidden under Hilfe>Profi Tipps which IMHO is a somewhat misleading translation for Extended. How about "Benutzerhandbuch Teil 2" (too long), or maybe Manual -> Benutzerhandbuch 1 Extended -> Benutzerhandbuch 2 In the long term, I would like the Documentation to bee split into more files, so that loading becomes faster and navigating easier. > I think you should bring this up on the documentation list? > > [email protected] > > (There's not much traffic on that list so it's not a problem to subscribe > to it as well).

Help Index: - Label all headings and provide a document with just reference buttons (needs a "Goto reference opens files" feature). Search: - grep in the source and jump to the pages? - Provide a html version of the docs? (Maybe just on lyx.org with a downloadable tar.gz-archive). + This will be automatically indexed by search machines. + The lyx wiki can easily link to the standard documentation. + People can download them for offline-reading if wanted (Debian could offer a lyx-doc package like done for many other packages) + This would also be helpfull if you want to have a look at both, the help and your document at the same time. (Well, you could also open a second LyX...) G�nter -- G.Milde web.de
