I can understand that... would a "reference card" of the markup on a
single page be better?
However, in general I don't think the markup is the big problem, but
rather knowing *where* to add the information. And knowing how to
"integrate" the page with all the other pages, so that people can find it
relatively easy.
As for the markup... I think most writers could get by knowing only a
subset of what is shown below the edit form, i.e. this text:
http://wiki.lyx.org/PmWiki/EditQuickReference
In fact, I'd say these are the most common things you need to know:
!! A second level heading
!!! A third level heading
An ''emphasized'' word
* A list item
* Another list item
** A second level list item
and of course how to create a link to another page
{{LyX/Examples}} - a link to the page LyX/Examples

Quit likely unfortunately.

I'm afraid not... there are actually good reasons for why HTML isn't
allowed, but I can't remember them right now.
