LyX is a &#8220;document authoring system&#8221;, meaning that, rather than forcing the user to concentrate on laying out his or her document, it enables the user to concentrate on what really matters: the content. Using LyX, people have written their thesis, authored entire textbooks, and created documents that would choke lesser programs to death. LyX is a front-end to LaTeX, a powerful and flexible computer typesetting system used for decades in several industries, including academia, research, and technical documentation. The down-side, unfortunately, is the fact that the usage methods that must be used within LyX are completely and utterly unfamiliar to most long-time users of so-called word processors. The learning curve for LyX is practically vertical; however, if you have a week or two to learn its idiosyncrasies, you&#8217;ll find it&#8217;s well worth it. If you&#8217;re in the market for an all-in-one text document authoring system, and are willing to learn a new way of processing documents, LyX just might be for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LyX is, quite simply, the single finest piece of document-editing software to be found anywhere, at any price.
