Hi all,

You know what would be good documentation? "The 25 Biggest Surprises in LyX 
and How to Work With Them". It's basically a FAQ with potential landmines and 
how to avoid/workaround them.

I'll start out with the ones I know of:

* Must hit Enter to declare column widths in tables
* Must use units on all lengths
* Must delete/recreate source tree to compile after config failure
* Must run texhash after adding new LaTeX class/style
* Must reconfiigure after change to layout file
* You can make a script to do the reconfigure
* TOC/Index/crossreference often require multiple compiles to register
* Confusion between LyX code and LaTeX code
* LaTeX code is case sensitive, LyX code isn't

Perhaps others can add to the list and we can write the document.

Thanks

STeveT
