99 The basic philosophy of \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
100 is that you should worry about the content of
101 what you're writing and not the form.
104 \begin_layout Subsection
105 How \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
109 \begin_layout Standard
110 \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
111 uses \SpecialCharNoPassThru LaTeX
112 , a document preparation system designed by Leslie Lamport
114 It, in turn, was built up from a typesetting language called \SpecialCharNoPassThru TeX
116 by Donald Knuth in 1984.
117 \SpecialCharNoPassThru LaTeX
118 is designed around a philosophy similar to that of \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
120 Leslie Lamport once said (see reference
121 \begin_inset CommandInset citation
131 The function of typographic design is to help the reader understand the
133 For a document to be easy to read, its visual structure must reflect its
135 Quotations and computer programs, being logically distinct structural elements,
136 should be distinguished visually from one another....
137 Since \SpecialCharNoPassThru LaTeX
138 can't understand your prose, you must explicitly indicate the
139 logical structure by typing special commands....
140 As you are writing your document, you should be concerned with its logical
141 structure, not its visual appearance.
144 \begin_layout Subsection
145 Why \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
149 \begin_layout Standard
150 \begin_inset CommandInset label
156 \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
157 can be useful to more people than \SpecialCharNoPassThru LaTeX
159 It's considerably easier to learn, because you don't need to learn \SpecialCharNoPassThru LaTeX
160 (which is practically a programming language).
161 \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
162 is basically like other
163 \begin_inset Quotes eld
166 What you see is what you get
167 \begin_inset Quotes erd
170 word processors, except that \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
172 \begin_inset Quotes eld
175 What you see is what you mean
176 \begin_inset Quotes erd
180 In this way, it combines the ease of use of word processors with the power
181 of \SpecialCharNoPassThru LaTeX
183 This is a Good Thing.
184 Also, the file format is platform independent.
185 Best of all, it's FREE!

189 Features of \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
192 \begin_layout Standard
193 \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
194 has many features which make writing documents easier.
198 \begin_layout Plain Layout
199 After all, why else would you want to use it?
209 Here's a list of just a few.
212 \begin_layout Itemize
213 \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
214 worries about margins, and footnote numbering for you
217 \begin_layout Itemize
218 \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
219 makes it simple to write and edit mathematical formulae
222 \begin_layout Standard
223 For a more philosophical discussion of why \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
224 is better than lots of other
225 word processors, see Section
226 \begin_inset CommandInset ref

242 \begin_layout Section
243 Lame attempts to use other \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
247 \begin_layout Standard
248 I wrote a program the other day.

273 After all that scientific thinking, I started feeling more artistic, so
278 \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
280 \begin_inset Newline newline
283 Typesetting word processor
284 \begin_inset Newline newline
287 It saves so much time

295 My favorite equation is the solution to a quadratic equation.
297 \begin_inset Formula $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$
301 \begin_inset Formula $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$
308 \begin_layout Standard
309 Another favorite equation is the basis of calculus:
310 \begin_inset Formula $f'(x)\equiv\lim_{\Delta x\rightarrow0}\frac{f(x+\Delta x)-f(x)}{\Delta x}$

322 A couple notes about \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
326 \begin_layout Itemize
327 I was able to remove the lines made with dashes.
328 They were there purely to separate the title and references from the rest
330 \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
331 (\SpecialCharNoPassThru LaTeX
332 ) knows enough to separate these parts of the document with space.
335 \begin_layout Itemize
336 I didn't bother putting the math equations in display mode.
337 Also, I didn't use \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
338 ' automatic equation numbering, because it's not
346 \begin_layout Itemize
347 I didn't have to type the word
348 \begin_inset Quotes eld
352 \begin_inset Quotes erd
356 \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
357 automatically writes it (or the word
358 \begin_inset Quotes eld
362 \begin_inset Quotes erd
365 depending on the textclass) when you select
