-\begin_layout Standard
-LaTeX makes LyX different from other word processors.
- LyX is a graphical user interface (GUI) frontend for LaTeX, designed to
- typeset documents without knowing LaTeX's macro commands.
- LyX does not provide graphical support for all the countless existing LaTeX
- macros, but can parse all of them.
- Thus LyX is every bit as functional as LaTeX.
