Far out! Hey man, pass that bad boy over here! Pfffffft. Hey man, cough cough, this is good stuff, cough giggle! Now where did I put those potato chips? If we ever have a LyX history, I hope Dekl Tsur is featured. He singlehandedly kept me from bailing in 2001, a couple months after I started using LyX. At the time I needed character styles, but LyX had none. Dekl showed me some LaTeX that allowed me to create a linkage between color and kludge character styles I created. It was weird but enabled me to write "Troubleshooting Techniques of the Successful Technologist". Here's a description of Dekl's workaround: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/self_publish_lyx.htm#SimulatingCharacterStylesWithColorPseudostyles About 4 years later LyX 1.4.0 got character styles and they were wonderful, but Dekl's workaround was what enabled me to use LyX from 2001 til 2006.
