LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to
|
|
writing based on the structure of your documents, not their
|
|
appearance. It is released under a Free Software / Open Source
|
|
license.
|
|
|
|
LyX is for people that write and 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. In the background, Prof. Knuth's
|
|
legendary TeX typesetting engine makes you look good.
|
|
|
|
On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output
|
|
-- or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced --
|
|
looks like nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland
|
|
.docs, all looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out
|
|
unpredictably different on different printer drivers. Gone are the
|
|
crashes 'eating' your dissertation the evening before going to press.
|
|
|
|
Please note that Lyx 1.5.x will not be available until Slackware ships with
|
|
QT4, or until more Lyx frontends are released (at the moment, the only
|
|
frontend is for QT 4).

Thank you
