OK, I'll do so.

That's what I was about to say.

We (a Maths professor and myself) intentionally *did* *not* cover all
possible mathed features in the User's Guide precisely because of
scope.  Better to move the more esoteric features into the Extended doc.

PS. Give a shout if you'd like help proofreading the english translation.  
I was going to offer help translating, but realized how stupid that'd
be...

[rework docs] include mathed documentation

2005-01-11 Thread Uwe Sthr
Hello LyXers,
I forgot to say that I want to include my mathed documentation.
For those who are able to read german, it is available at
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/LyXMathebefehle
(In german because I wrote it once for me and fellow students.)
I covers now nearly all math constructs. I want to replace the mathed 
section in the userguide by this documentation.
In my opinion the tutorial has a very good introduction to mathed: It 
explains navigating in formulas, the math-panel and the most common used 
constructs (fractions etc.). So that we could go deeper in the 
userguide. Mathed supports so many constructs that aren't explained in 
the docs at the moment.

Are there any objections against this plan?
regards Uwe
