Thank you very much for your suggestion. Of course I can use it but the
question is: isn't it better to integrate it in Lyx so that people can use
wallpapers normally? In any case, I'll do it with ERT for now.

Sure Charles, as I said, it is very graphically rich. Look at WhiteWolf's
kind of manual for an example, it costs you nothing, just visit the site or
have a screen of some pages in google! Vampire, Wherewolf, the style's that=
.

And as I said, of course I know Scribus is a better toy for this kind of
work. The interesting thing for me is pushing Lyx to the limit, see if it
can do this work, see if it will make the whole process of writing a manual
such a pain that using Scribus would be better instead :)
Greets,

Luca
