However, if you want to start from the other end (what a document formatted
with documentclass x looks like), you may
* look at the documentation PDFs for the document classes that are mostly
written using that document class. Try e.g. starting with scrguien.pdf
(KOMA-script classes) or memman.pdf (memoir).
* have a look at the "done with LyX" examples on wiki.lyx.org
* Load and compile the examples and templates that come with LyX:
File>New from Template
or
File>Open (and in the file-finder dialogue click on the [Examples]
button in the top-right corner)
