What is LyX?
Lyx is a word-processor which uses LaTeX as its typesetting engine. LyX runs
under the X window system, and there is currently no Microsoft Windows
version under development. It has some really nice features. It is a great
way to use TeX for those jobs you don't do all the time, so you forget how
to TeX it. In fact, you do not need to know anything about TeX to use LyX.
This is almost completely WYSIWYG, except that LaTeX will re-format the
document for printing. The screen gives a very good approximation of the TeX
formatting. It allows visual editing of LaTeX documents, which results in
not only better-looking results the first time, but far fewer LaTeX errors
than using an editor and marking up the code yourself. I used to consider
any word-processor as an impediment to fast technical document preparation,
but LyX is the exception. With the new WYSIWYG math editor, which accepts
standard TeX code for symbols (but displays them as they will be typeset),
it's faster than using an editor. Really quite impressive.
