Hi everybody,
Whilst working on the FAQ, it became painfully obvious that a few tiny
changes would be desirable. I list them here for your consideration:
1) Add \clearpage as an option to the Pagebreaks item in
Layout->Paragraph. This seems to be the #1 true FAQ from the mailing list
archives.
I have just placed "Version 0.3.0pre0.build000, Alpha" of the LyX FAQ into
the lyxdoc CVS module. It's not "finished" by any stretch, but I wanted
people to have a chance to see it and offer comments before it gets too
much bigger.
The format is loosely based on the Linux FAQ. I did have a look a

Hi,
Has anyone even looked at the little patch I sent a couple of days ago. At

anything but
