180 The basic philosophy of LyX is that you should worry about the content of
181 what you're writing and not the form.

189 LyX uses LaTeX, a document preparation system designed by Leslie Lamport
191 It, in turn, was built up from a typesetting language called TeX, created
192 by Donald Knuth in 1984.
193 LaTeX is designed around a philosophy similar to that of LyX.

222 For a document to be easy to read, its visual structure must reflect its
224 Quotations and computer programs, being logically distinct structural elements,
225 should be distinguished visually from one another....
226 Since LaTeX can't understand your prose, you must explicitly indicate the
227 logical structure by typing special commands....
228 As you are writing your document, you should be concerned with its logical
229 structure, not its visual appearance.

247 1.2 Why LyX is better
250 \begin_layout Standard
251 LyX can be useful to more people than LaTeX.
252 It's considerably easier to learn, because you don't need to learn LaTeX
253 (which is practically a programming language).
254 LyX is basically like other

273 This is a Good Thing.
274 Also, the file format is platform independent.
275 Best of all, it's FREE!

306 Here's a list of just a few.
309 \begin_layout Standard
310 * LyX worries about margins, and footnote numbering for you
313 \begin_layout Standard
314 * LyX makes it simple to write and edit mathematical formulae

318 For a more philosophical discussion of why LyX is better than lots of other
319 word processors, see Section 1.2, which can be found on page 1.

424 My favorite equation is the solution to a quadratic equation.
