Suggested reading material with information about LyX, LaTeX and BibTeX etc.

About LyX

First of all, see the regular LyX documenation (i.e. the User's guide etc) that you can access through the Help-menu. Then you can also look at the pages in this wiki of course. The following pages are also probably of interest:

• Manuals
• Tutorials

About LaTeX

The de facto standard manual for LaTeX:

• The LaTeX Companion by Frank Mittelbach, Michel Goossens, Johannes Braams, David Carlisle and Chris Rowley (second edition, Addison-Wesley, 2004, ISBN 0-201-36299-6)

Some useful manuals:

• The not so short introduction to LaTeX 2e is, well, a not so short (but recommendable) introduction. ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/lshort.pdf
• An essential guide to LaTeX 2e usage. Obsolete commands and packages (a.k.a. l2tabu) lists the most severe mistakes LaTeX users usually make (some of it are also made by LyX). A must-read. ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/info/l2tabu/english/l2tabuen.pdf

About BibTeX

Useful BibTeX documenation:
