Dear mn
Thank you for your feedback but I wonder if you are over-estimating what we
are trying to do with the example. In the Tutorial 1.2.2, we say:
1.2.2 What you will not find
• Detailed explanations of all of LyX's features.
Look in the User's Guide when you need this.
• Detailed explanations of LaTeX.
Unnecessary. If you want to learn some of the neat tricks you can do with
LaTeX in LyX, you can have a look at the Embedded Objects manual.
Many of the issues you raise are covered in the User's Guide and other
manuals.
Note that the Tutorial uses the standard Book document style whereas, in the
User's Guide and other manuals, we use the KOMA-Script Book document style so
that we do not introduce too many new ideas all at once in the Tutorial.
