<description>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to
|
|
|
|
|
writing based on the structure of your documents (WYSIWYM) and
|
|
|
|
|
not simply their appearance (WYSIWYG).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>LyX combines the power and flexibility of TeX/LaTeX with the
|
|
|
|
|
ease of use of a graphical interface. This results in
|
|
|
|
|
world-class support for creation of mathematical content (via a
|
|
|
|
|
fully integrated equation editor) and structured documents like
|
|
|
|
|
academic articles, theses, and books. In addition, staples of
|
|
|
|
|
scientific authoring such as reference list and index creation
|
|
|
|
|
come standard. But you can also use LyX to create a letter or a
|
|
|
|
|
novel or a theatre play or film script. A broad array of ready,
|
|
|
|
|
well-designed document layouts are built in.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>LyX is for people who want their writing to look great,
|
|
|
|
|
right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting
|
|
|
|
|
details, “finger painting” font attributes or futzing around
|
|
|
|
|
with page boundaries. You just write. On screen, LyX looks like
|
|
|
|
|
any word processor; its printed output — or richly
|
|
|
|
|
cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced — looks like
|
|
|
|
|
nothing else.</p>
