LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
|
||
|
|
based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It
|
||
|
|
is released under a Free Software/Open Source license (GPL v.2).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LyX is for people that write and 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. In the background, Prof. Knuth's
|
||
|
|
legendary TeX typesetting engine makes you look good.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output --
|
||
|
|
or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks
|
||
|
|
like nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs,
|
||
|
|
all looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably
|
||
|
|
different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes
|
||
|
|
'eating' your dissertation the evening before going to press.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully
|
||
|
|
internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux, the
|
||
|
|
Macintosh and modern Windows platforms.
