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

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

244 Lame attempts to use other \SpecialCharNoPassThru LyX
248 \begin_layout Standard
249 I wrote a program the other day.

285 \begin_inset Newline newline
288 It saves so much time

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

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