\begin_layout Enumerate
\SpecialChar LyX
 is what we call a 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

document processor.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 By design, it is different from regular word processors — in a way that
 makes writing documents easier.
 But only a little different, so don't be scared.
 The documentation will make it all clear.
