NewsForge: Hot LyX
==================

   Dave Fancella tried the document processor LyX [http://www.lyx.org/]
and writes his findings
[http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/09/15/1345248]: "A common
problem with word processors today is that they force users to deal with
typesetting, a skill that is about as useful to a writer as metalworking
is to a mechanic. This focus on typesetting means that writers have to
spend too much time dealing with the way their documents look. To make
matters worse, many documents are shared in a variety of different
formats requiring additional time wasted in export, conversion, and
quality control on the finished product. To help get around these
obstacles, Linux users can turn to a document processor called LyX. LyX
is optimized for writing and takes the chores of typesetting out of the
writer's hands and places them in a competent professional: LaTeX."
