| LyX - Word processor.Updated by FastRunner on Wednesday, October 01st 2008. LyX is an advanced open source document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. LyX lets you concentrate on writing, leaving details of visual layout to the software. LyX runs on many Unix platforms (including MacOS X), OS/2, and under Windows/Cygwin. Note that all these ports use the same xforms interface and therefore need an X server. LyX produces high quality, professional output -- using LaTeX, an industrial strength typesetting engine, in the background; LyX is far more than a front-end to LaTeX, however. No knowledge of LaTeX is necessary to use LyX, although it will give a user more power. LyX is stable and fully featured. It has been used for documents as large as a thesis, or as small as a business letter. Despite its simple GUI interface (available in many languages), it supports tables, figures, and hyperlinked cross-references, and has a best-of-breed math editor. Licence : GPL
Version : 1.5.6 [Stable]1.6.0rc3 [Development]

Displaying 2 of 2 user comments. Lyx word processorby Anonymous on Dec 12, 2000A very good program, I use it every day.
I would like to see support for cyrillic+latin characters. LyX is good and improvingby Anonymous on Jun 12, 2000LyX is already a very good document processor acting as a frontend to LaTeX, it is still not complete and not user friendly to those who are computer novices and latex novices (if you are knowledgeable in any of this, you'll get through). But for those who are willing to put something into learning it, it will way better than writing LaTeX directly, and the results look slicker than anything a regular word processor can do. | |
