112 Hint: Section titles should probably stand out more
118 The basic philosophy of LyX is that you should worry about the content of
119 what you're writing and not the form.
125 LyX uses LaTeX, a document preparation system designed by Leslie Lamport
127 It, in turn, was built up from a typesetting language called TeX, created
128 by Donald Knuth in 1984.
129 LaTeX is designed around a philosophy similar to that of LyX.
130 Leslie Lamport once said (see reference [1])
136 Hint: Probably, this CITATION REFERENCE shouldn't be
140 What if we make Lamport's book the second
143 item in the bibliography?

153 The function of typographic design is to help the reader understand the
155 For a document to be easy to read, its visual structure must reflect its
157 Quotations and computer programs, being logically distinct structural elements,
158 should be distinguished visually from one another....
159 Since LaTeX can't understand your prose, you must explicitly indicate the
160 logical structure by typing special commands....
161 As you are writing your document, you should be concerned with its logical
162 structure, not its visual appearance.

178 1.2 Why LyX is better
181 LyX can be useful to more people than LaTeX.
182 It's considerably easier to learn, because you don't need to learn LaTeX
183 (which is practically a programming language).
184 LyX is basically like other

201 In this way, it combines the ease of use of word processors with the power
203 This is a Good Thing.
204 Also, the file format is platform independent.
205 Best of all, it's FREE!
212 LyX has many features which make writing documents easier.
213 (After all, why else would you want to use it?
219 Hint: This parenthetical statement would look better in a footnote
232 Here's a list of just a few.
235 * LyX worries about margins, and footnote numbering for you
238 * LyX makes it simple to write and edit mathematical formulae
241 For a more philosophical discussion of why LyX is better than lots of other
242 word processors, see Section 1.2, which can be found on page 1.
248 Hint: Probably, these CROSS-REFERENCES shouldn't be
252 What if we change the section numbers?
259 Lame attempts to use other LyX stuff
262 I wrote a program the other day.

292 After all that scientific thinking, I started feeling more artistic, so
299 Typesetting word processor
302 It saves so much time
308 Hint: It's not very good, but it is poetry,
311 otherwise known as VERSE
324 Hint: these math things should be printed in math mode!
330 My favorite equation is the solution to a quadratic equation.
331 If ax^2+bx+c=0 (eq.1), then x= -b + or minus the square root of b^2-4ac
332 all divided by 2a (eq.
336 Another favorite equation is the basis of calculus: f'(x) is defined as
337 the limit as deltax goes to zero of f(x+deltax) - f(x) divided by deltax
