LyX ⇒ book (tufte) or an another class

[clavigula]

hallo,

I'm absolute a beginner in the Latex world. I want to write a praxis guideline with a similar style like the head first books from O'Reily. So I think the class book (tufte) would be the right one. I'm also going to need reverence lists about literatur (bibliography etc), figures and an index. Is this possible in book (tufte) or would it better to use an another class?

thanks and sorry for my bad english

The documentclass just defines the general layout of your document. All the features you need are basic LaTeX features, customizable using packages.

google translate gives quite good results
