Frequently Asked Questions

This group is intended to gather various pages answering questions (frequent or not). The PageList lists most of these pages. It has been included below for convenience:

Also see AllPages if you want to look at all of the pages at once (useful if you wish to search within the page). Note: AllPages is a bit ugly at the moment since it contains several identical table-of-contents, because the code (:toc:) is repeatedly included.

It would be nice if some kind soul could have a go at sorting the unordered FAQs to useful categories on a rainy day. I do not think that it is necesseray to keep the FAQ.lyx content unchanged. I'd rather propose to create a new, useful structure here and probably generate a new FAQ.lyx from that.
