Basic Philosophy
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
The basic philosophy of LyX is that you should worry about the content of
|
|
what you're writing and not the form.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Subsection
|
|
How LyX does it
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
LyX uses LaTeX, a document preparation system designed by Leslie Lamport
|
|
in 1985.
|
|
It, in turn, was built up from a typesetting language called TeX, created
|
|
by Donald Knuth in 1984.
|
|
LaTeX is designed around a philosophy similar to that of LyX.
|
|
Leslie Lamport once said (see reference
|
|
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
|
|

|
|
key "lamport"
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|

):
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Quote
|
|
The function of typographic design is to help the reader understand the
|
|
author's ideas.
|
|
For a document to be easy to read, its visual structure must reflect its
|
|
logical structure.
|
|
Quotations and computer programs, being logically distinct structural elements,
|
|
should be distinguished visually from one another....
|
|
Since LaTeX can't understand your prose, you must explicitly indicate the
|
|
logical structure by typing special commands....
|
|
As you are writing your document, you should be concerned with its logical
|
|
structure, not its visual appearance.

LyX can be useful to more people than LaTeX.
|
|
It's considerably easier to learn, because you don't need to learn LaTeX
|
|
(which is practically a programming language).
|
|
LyX is basically like other

|
|
|
What you see is what you get

word processors, except that LyX is

|
|
|
|
What you see is what you mean
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
In this way, it combines the ease of use of word processors with the power
|
|
of LaTeX.
|
|
This is a Good Thing.
|
|
Also, the file format is platform independent.
|
|
Best of all, it's FREE!

If

\begin_inset Formula $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$

(eq.1), then

\begin_inset Formula $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

(eq.

\begin_layout Itemize
|
|
I was able to remove the lines made with dashes.
|
|
They were there purely to separate the title and references from the rest
|
|
of the document.
|
|
LyX (LaTeX) knows enough to separate these parts of the document with space.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Itemize
|
|
I didn't bother putting the math equations in display mode.
|
|
Also, I didn't use LyX' automatic equation numbering, because it's not
