Well in my case when you click on the link to the embedded documentation (the output from lyx in this case) the fossil heading, menu etc. goes away. I may not have it set up optimally however.

[fossil-users] PDF as embedded documentation
Hi everyone, First, thanks to everyone that has worked on Fossil. It is very, very useful to me. I'd like to keep a PDF as embedded documentation (this is a LaTeX project). Is it possible to do so without bloating the repository too much?

Re: [fossil-users] PDF as embedded documentation
Sorry, I think the answer to that is it depends. For example do you care about having a small repository? Are you worried about corruption? For me, I wouldn't think twice about it. Even a thousand commits, each with their own pdf of even 1MB is still only 1GB. Unless these are big PDF's, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Then again, I have no direct experience in this regard. I've used fossil for LabView programming, the files for which are binary and I don't think very compressible. But even 866 files taking up 40 MB, with about 100 commits, some of which change a large minority of files, the fossil repo is still only 400 MB. I wouldn't call that bloated, but YMMV.
