a number of improvements. These are detailed below. We encourage all
LyX users to upgrade to this version.
-In case you are wondering what LyX is:
-
- LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
- on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance.
-
- LyX combines the power and flexibility of TeX/LaTeX with the ease of use of
- a graphical interface. This results in world-class support for creation of
- mathematical content (via a fully integrated equation editor) and structured
- documents like academic articles, theses, and books. In addition, staples of
- scientific authoring such as reference list and index creation come standard.
- But you can also use LyX to create a letter or a novel or a theatre play or
- film script. A broad array of ready, well-designed document layouts are built
- in.
-
- LyX is for people who want their writing to look great, right out of the box.
- No more endless tinkering with formatting details, “finger painting” font
- attributes or futzing around with page boundaries. You just write. On screen,
- LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output — or richly cross-
- referenced PDF, just as readily produced — looks like nothing else.
