.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
\fBLyX\fR is too complex to be described completely in the "man" page
|
||||
format. If your system is properly configured, you can access the full
|
||||
documentation within \fBLyX\fR under the Help menu.

||||

||||
\fBLyX\fR is a document preparation system. It excels at letting you
|
||||
create complex technical and scientific articles with mathematics,
|
||||
cross-references, bibliographies, indices, etc. It is very good at
|
||||
documents of any length in which the usual processing abilities are
|
||||
required: automatic sectioning and pagination, spellchecking, and so
|
||||
forth. It can also be used to write a letter to your mom, though
|
||||
granted, there are probably simpler programs available for that. It is
|
||||
definitely not the best tool for creating banners, flyers, or
|
||||
advertisements (we'll explain why later), though with some effort all
|
||||
these can be done, too. Some examples of what it is used for: memos,
|
||||
letters, dissertations and theses, lecture notes, seminar notebooks,
|
||||
conference proceedings, software documentation, books (on PostgreSQL,
|
||||
remote sensing, cryptology, fictional novels, poetry, and even a
|
||||
children's book or two), articles in refereed scientific journals,
|
||||
scripts for plays and movies, business proposals... you get the idea.
