<summary>The Document Processor</summary>
<description>
<p>LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to
writing based on the structure of your documents (WYSIWYM) and
not simply their appearance (WYSIWYG).</p>
<p>LyX combines the power and flexibility of TeX/LaTeX with the
ease of use of a graphical interface. This results in
world-class support for creation of mathematical content (via a
fully integrated equation editor) and structured documents like
academic articles, theses, and books. In addition, staples of
scientific authoring such as reference list and index creation
come standard. But you can also use LyX to create a letter or a
novel or a theatre play or film script. A broad array of ready,
well-designed document layouts are built in.</p>
<p>LyX is for people who 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. On screen, LyX looks like
any word processor; its printed output — or richly
cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced — looks like
nothing else.</p>
