Perhaps in future documentation versions we should call what I call

will be much clearer to newbie and expert alike.
We'll need to check the 1.6 docs, but to some extent this has been fixed
with a change of terminology. What used to be called "character styles"
are now more generally "flex insets".
Do you know if I'm able to download and compile 1.6.0 with
a --with-version-suffix=1.6.0 so I could independently run my 1.4.2, 1.5.3,
and 1.6.0?
The simplest thing to do is: Either install it somewhere else, or just
run it "in place" without installing, if you just want to check it out.
(It's pre-alpha at the moment, so not necessarily recommended for actual
work, though there are people using it for that.) You will want to make
sure that you use a different user directory for 1.6, so write a trivial
shell script such as:
/cvs/lyx16/src/lyx -userdir /home/slitt/.lyx16/
and use it to start 1.6. The preferences format can differ from version
to version, so you should also do something like this, too, if you're
using both 1.4 and 1.5.
