LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
|
|
based on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance.
|
|
Combining the power and flexibility of TeX/LaTeX with the ease of use
|
|
of a graphical interface 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
