LyX is a program that provides a modern approach to writing documents with
a computer by using a markup language paradigm, an approach that breaks
with the obsolete tradition of the

It is designed for authors who want professional output quickly with a
minimum of effort without becoming specialists in typesetting.
The job of typesetting is done mostly by the computer, not the author;

\begin_layout Standard
-
Part of the initial challenge of using LyX comes from the change in thinking
that you, the user, must make.
At one time, all we had for creating documents were typewriters, so we

In other words, we've all been trained to worry about the little details
of which character goes where.
Consequently, almost all word processors have this mentality.

This is where LyX differs from an ordinary word processor.
You don't concern yourself with what character goes where.

\begin_layout Standard
-
To be fair, most recent versions of the most popular office suites now have
some sort of style sheets which follow a similar markup method.
However, our experience is that they are still rarely used in practice.

\begin_layout Standard
-
Suppose you are writing a report.
To begin your report, you want a section called

\begin_layout Standard
-
In LyX, you go to the pull-down on the far left of the button bar and select

\begin_layout Standard
-
Yes, that's all.
If you cut and paste the section, it will automatically be renumbered ---

\begin_layout Standard

Now let's look at the problem of consistency.
Five days later, you reopen your report and start Section\InsetSpace ~

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
-
Here's another example.
Suppose you're making a list.
In other word processors, a list is just a bunch of tab stops and newlines.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
-
So, the basic idea behind LyX is: specify
\emph on
what
units like paragraphs, sections, etc.
This doesn't mean LyX is missing some cool function.
It simply means that it isn't the right tool for the job --- you don't

page, are useless in LyX.

Here are some things that exist in LyX, but aren't used as you might think:

LyX will take care of these things for you, depending on what you're doing.

There are ways to adjust all of these (only some of which require knowledge
of LaTeX), either for a whole document or for a specific location in a

Lastly, there are a few areas where we believe LyX (and LaTeX) surpasses
many word processors:

Granted, many modern word processors can handle mathematical symbols, tables,
and hyphenation, and many have moved towards style definitions and the
WYSIWYM concept.
However, they've only recently been able to do so, whereas LyX is built
upon the LaTeX document preparation system.

Now, in parallel with the development and growth of LaTeX, other folks were
creating their own custom macro packages for TeX, ones to make slides or
articles for math journals and so on.
Some used the raw TeX facilities to do this, others began modifying LaTeX.
