The title of this section is a good example of using this feature.

Branches
\layout Standard
Sometimes you wish to be able to output to paper multiple versions of the
same document.
The most extreme version of this is, when you want to prepare a single
document in two or more different languages, but as a single document file,
with corresponding pieces of text adjacent in the file and on-screen.
This can be achieved with
\emph on
branches
\emph default
.
\layout Standard
First, you have to
\emph on
define
\emph default
the branches available within a particular document.
This is done in the
\family sans
Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Settings\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Branches
\family default
tab.
You can also associate a background colour with each branch, e.g., red for
the English language, blue for the German language branch.
Then, you create a branch inset from the
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Branch
\family default
menu item.
The inset will contain the text that you want to be output when this branch
is activated.
\layout Standard
\emph on
Activation
\emph default
or
\emph on
deactivation
\emph default
of a branch is done from the document settings menu.
All insets belonging to deactivated branches will be automatically closed,
those belonging to activated branched automatically opened.
\layout Standard
Other possible applications of the Branches paradisgm include a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
teacher's version
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
of a textbook containing the answers tro questions, etc.
\begin_inset Note
