From <a href="http://www.lyx.org/about/intro.php">LyX's About page</a>: <blockquote>LyX is an advanced open source document processor running on many Unix and some non-Unix platforms. It is called a "document processor", because unlike standard word processors, LyX 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 automates formatting according to predefined rule sets, yielding consistency throughout even the most complex documents. LyX produces high quality, professional output -- using LaTeX, an open source, industrial strength typesetting engine, in the background.</blockquote> <a href="http://www.lyx.org/download/">LyX has also been ported to Windows and Mac</a>. http://kairosnews.org/designing-a-book-with-lyx#comments document design open source word processing Fri, 25 Aug 2006 08:37:53 -0400 cel4145 4836 at http://kairosnews.org
