.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBLyX\fR is too complex to be described completely in the "man" page
\fBLyX\fR is a document preparation system. It excels at letting you
create complex technical and scientific articles with mathematics,
-cross-references, bibliographies, indices, etc. It is very good at
+cross\-references, bibliographies, indices, etc. It is very good at
documents of any length in which the usual processing abilities are
required: automatic sectioning and pagination, spellchecking, and so
forth. It can also be used to write a letter to your mom, though
two), articles in refereed scientific journals, scripts for plays and
movies, business proposals... you get the idea.
-Currently, \fBLyX\fR uses either the XForms or Qt library as a
-toolkit. \fBLyX\fR should run everywhere, where these libraries run.
+Currently, \fBLyX\fR uses the Qt4 library as a
+toolkit. \fBLyX\fR should run everywhere, where this library runs.
This is on all major Unix platforms as well as Windows and Mac OS X
(which actually is a unix platform).
.SH OPTIONS

.TP
.BI \-dbg " feature[,feature...]"
where feature is a name or number.
-Use "\fBlyx -dbg\fR" to see the list of available debug features.

.TP
-\fB -x [--execute]\fP \fIcommand
+\fB \-x [\-\-execute]\fP \fIcommand
where command is a lyx command.
.TP
-\fB -e [--export]\fP \fIfmt
+\fB \-e [\-\-export]\fP \fIfmt
where fmt is the export format of choice.
.TP
-\fB -i [--import]\fP \fIfmt file.xxx
+\fB \-i [\-\-import]\fP \fIfmt file.xxx
where fmt is the import format of choice and file.xxx is the file to be imported.
-.SH XFORMS FRONTEND OPTIONS
-When compiled with the XForms frontend, \fBLyX\fR understands the
-following generic command line options from the \fBForms Library\fR,
-which can also be specified as X resources (e. g. in .Xdefaults) with
-class name \fBLyX\fR.
-.TP 6
-.BI \-geometry " WxH+X+Y"
-specifies the preferred size and position of the main \fBLyX\fR
-window; see \fIX(1)\fR.
-.TP
-.BI \-display " host:display"
-specifies the server to connect to.
-.TP
-.BI \-bw " borderwidth"
-specifies the border width to use to built-in objects.
-.TP
-.BI \-visual " visualName"
-requests a visual by name such as TrueColor etc. By default the
-.B Forms Library
-always selects the visual that has the most depth.
-.TP
-.BI \-depth " depth"
-requests a specific depth. Try "\fB-depth\fR best" or "\fB-depth\fR
-8" if you get a bad match.
-.TP
-.BI \-debug " level"
-generates some info about the state of the
-.B XForms.
-where
-.I level
-is an integer between 1-5 and controls the amount of
-information to output. Depending on the options used
-when the
-.B Forms Library
-was built, a level more than 3 might not be available.
-.TP
-.B \-sync
-runs the application in synchronous mode with debug level set to 4.
-.TP
-.B \-private
-requests a private colormap for the application.
-.TP
-.B \-shared
-requests a shared colormap even if the application needs more
-colors than available. For those colors that can't be allocated
-in the shared colormap, substitutions are made so the closest
-matching color is used.
-.TP
-.B \-stdcmap
-requests a standard colormap.
-.TP
-.B \-name " newname"
-specifies the application name under which resources are to be
-obtained, rather than the default executable file name.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.TP
-.B LYX_DIR_14x
+.B LYX_DIR_15x
can be used to specify which system directory to use.
.PP
The system directory is determined by searching for the file
"chkconfig.ltx". Directories are searched in this order:
.br
-1) -sysdir command line parameter
+1) \-sysdir command line parameter
.br
-2) LYX_DIR_14x environment variable
+2) LYX_DIR_15x environment variable
.br
3) Maybe <path of binary>/TOP_SRCDIR/lib
.br
.br
5) hardcoded lyx_dir (usually /usr/local/share/lyx on UNIX)
.TP
-.B LYX_USERDIR_14x
+.B LYX_USERDIR_15x
can be used to specify which user directory to use.
.PP
The user directory is, in order of precedence:
.br
-1) -userdir command line parameter
+1) \-userdir command line parameter
.br
-2) LYX_USERDIR_14x environment variable
+2) LYX_USERDIR_15x environment variable
.br
3) $HOME/.<name of binary> if no explicit setting is made
