format. If your system is properly configured, you can access the full
documentation within \fBLyX\fR under the Help menu.
\fBLyX\fR is a modern approach of writing documents with a computer
which breaks with the tradition of the obsolete typewriter concept. It
is designed for people who want a professional output with a minimum
of time effort, without becoming specialists in typesetting. Compared
to common word processors, \fBLyX\fR will increase the productivity a
lot, since most of the typesetting will be done by the computer, not
the author. With \fBLyX\fR the author can concentrate on the contents
of his writing, since the computer will take care of the look. Read more
about this concept in the online documentation 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.
Currently, \fBLyX\fR uses the XForms library as a toolkit. \fBLyX\fR
should run everywhere, where XForms runs. This is on all major Unix
platforms as well as some PC platforms, including Sun, SGI, HP, Compaq
Tru64, IBM RS6000, Convex, Cray, i386/Linux, Alpha/Linux,
i386/FreeBSD, i386/NetBSD, DecSystem(mips)/Ultrix, OS/2 with XFree or
PMX and others.

platform) and OS/2.

lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org with detailed info, including which version of
\fBLyX\fR you use. Consult the bug-reporting instructions in the
Introduction (accessible from the Help menu in LyX) first if possible.
