-To make it easier to answer your questions and describe all of the features
- of LyX, the documentation has been split up into several different files.
- Each one has its own purpose, as described below.
- Before you go plowing into any of those files, however, you should read
- this chapter thoroughly first, since it contains a lot of useful information
- and commentary that can save you some time.

- though we try to keep up.
- Like the rest of LyX, the manuals are the work of a group of volunteers

-Some of you may have printed out the manual(s).
- Others may be reading it online, within LyX as a file.
- For those reading online, there are some differences from the printed version.
- First, the title is simply at the top of the document, not formatted on
- a separate page as in some of the printed versions.
- Nor are any of the footnotes or the Table of Contents visible.
- To open a footnote, which looks like this,
