The basic philosophy of LyX is that you should worry about the content of
|
|
what you're writing and not the form.
|
|
\layout Standard
|
|
|
|
1.1 How LyX does it
|
|
\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 [1])
|

Hint: Probably, this CITATION REFERENCE shouldn't be

|

What if we make Lamport's book the second
|
|
\layout Standard
|
|
|
|
item in the bibliography?

\end_inset
|
|
|
|
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.

1.2 Why LyX is better
|
|
\layout Standard
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
What you see is what you get
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
word processors, except that LyX is
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
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!

Features of LyX
|
|
\layout Standard
|
|

LyX has many features which make writing documents easier.

(After all, why else would you want to use it?

to talk about them.
|
|
Here's a list of just a few.
|
|
\layout Standard
|
|
|
|
* LyX worries about margins, and footnote numbering for you
|
|
\layout Standard
|
|
|
|
* LyX makes it simple to write and edit mathematical formulae
|
|
\layout Standard
|
|
|
|
For a more philosophical discussion of why LyX is better than lots of other
|
|
word processors, see Section 1.2, which can be found on page 1.

My favorite equation is the solution to a quadratic equation.
|
|
If ax^2+bx+c=0 (eq.1), then x= -b + or minus the square root of b^2-4ac
|
|
all divided by 2a (eq.
|
|
2).
|
|
\layout Standard
|
|
|
|
Another favorite equation is the basis of calculus: f'(x) is defined as
|
|
the limit as deltax goes to zero of f(x+deltax) - f(x) divided by deltax
|
|
(eq.
|
|
3).
