Hey, I'm about to start the process of writing the 2nd edition of a fairly long (+150 A4 pages) internal manual. It's about a set of software systems and programming practices in my business. The 1st edition was written using OpenOffice. I remember spending a lot of time trying to make things "look good", and when I'm reading the manual today, I'm constantly reminded of how hard I failed at that. :o)
So for this 2nd edition, I've been looking for some better tools, and this has brought me to LyX. I've installed LyX and TexLive on my Slackware 12.1 system, and I've tinkered some with it. It appears to be *exactly* what I'm looking for. But before I start writing, I'd like to ask if there are any good resources on using LyX for writing what is essentially a book on programming. I'd really like to avoid painting myself into a corner, like I did with OpenOffice. Any and all advice is more than welcome. Sincerely, Thomas Løcke
