36 This file describes the different LaTeX add-ons that LyX can handle.
37 Below you'll find six sections:
40 Some basic details about your LaTeX installation.
41 In particular, you should make sure that your version of LaTeX is recent
45 Some common fonts that LyX knows about.
46 This is rather sparse at the moment.
49 The document classes that should be standard on any LaTeX implementation.

264 In particular, they are all present on your system as long as LaTeX2e is
266 When the text indicates that a particular class has not been found, this
267 means the layout file supporting this particular class has not been found.
