Stop it StopIt *StopIt* *STOP*IT* **STOP** **IT**!!!!!! ENOUGH WITH THE MANUAL NAMES, ALREADY! "Extended" is for extending and customizing LyX?! WHAT THE H*** ARE YOU PEOPLE THINKING?! WHY WOULD WE HAVE A "Customization" IF THAT WERE TRUE?! <pant> <pant> <pant> <pant> <pant> Okay... I'm trying to calm down... I'm trying to calm down...

We went through this already, and settled on what we felt was the best choice. Since I began the whole doc-reorganization 4 years ago, and began the DocTeam, period, and laid out the current design of the new documents, what I hereby say is The Final Word: The documents are organized based on *reading* *order*, and nothing more. You need to read Intro before you can read any of the others. Some people need to read the Tutorial before moving on. Some don't. The User's Guide assumes you're read the first two, and covers the most-frequently used subset of LyX features. Extended is basically an extension of the UG. It contains less-frequently used features. Using EF impiles that you have read the UG. Customization and Reference are last in the sequence. >From time-to-time, things may migrate from EF to UG or vice versa, as we fine-tune the organization. But my description of the purpose of the manuals --- WHICH IS ALSO IN "Intro," if y'all had bothered to read it --- is sacrosanct and must never be violated! If y'all don't cut it out, I will go and rename the manuals to: Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 Stage 5 Stage 6 ... thereby forcing you to read them, instead of just looking at the titles. (And if I start feeling *really* malicious, I'll give 'em names like "Eqiv L1," "Eqiv L2," "Eqiv L3," so that you'll *really* have to read them. ;) Your former Doc-Editor-In-Chief/Tyrrant, -- John Weiss
