.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBLyX\fR is too complex to be described completely in the "man" page
\fBLyX\fR is a document preparation system. It excels at letting you
create complex technical and scientific articles with mathematics,
-cross-references, bibliographies, indices, etc. It is very good at
+cross\-references, bibliographies, indices, etc. It is very good at
documents of any length in which the usual processing abilities are
required: automatic sectioning and pagination, spellchecking, and so
forth. It can also be used to write a letter to your mom, though
Currently, \fBLyX\fR uses either the XForms or Qt library as a
toolkit. \fBLyX\fR should run everywhere, where these libraries run.
-This is on all major Unix platforms as well as Windows, Mac OS X
-(which actually is a unix platform) and OS/2.
