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

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

215 Quotations and computer programs, being logically distinct structural elements,
216 should be distinguished visually from one another....
217 Since LaTeX can't understand your prose, you must explicitly indicate the
218 logical structure by typing special commands....
219 As you are writing your document, you should be concerned with its logical
220 structure, not its visual appearance.

238 1.2 Why LyX is better
241 \begin_layout Standard
242 LyX can be useful to more people than LaTeX.
243 It's considerably easier to learn, because you don't need to learn LaTeX
244 (which is practically a programming language).
245 LyX is basically like other

265 Also, the file format is platform independent.
266 Best of all, it's FREE!

305 * LyX makes it simple to write and edit mathematical formulae

310 word processors, see Section 1.2, which can be found on page 1.
