Hello,

I would like to use Lyx to create User guides and Technical reference
documents about computer/software.

They usually includes menus like "File -> Save as ..,  sample code,
file names, program outputs ...
(Typically, what Docbook includes by default.)

After some research, I didn't find anything obvious. Found:
 - http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Layouts or
http://www.latextemplates.com/ all beautiful, but nothing about
computer science.
 - http://www.ctan.org/pkg/refman or memoir but they are old and maybe
not directly usable in Lyx

I am not against learning some Latex commands, but I would like to
start rapidly and with a layout that would be close and perene for
computer science.

I found that the Lyx "User Guide" is quite close to what I would like
to do. But I didn't find a template matching its document class "book
(Koma script)".

My very simple question would be: can I just open the
doc/UserGuide.lyx, save it as myfile.lyx and start modifying the
document ?? or is it a bad idea?

Is there some place to gather around a common subjects like
mathematics, poetry/hollywood, chemistry, chess/music/recipes,
journal, books ...

Thanks
