> LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing

> 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.
>
> LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully
> internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux, the
> Macintosh and modern Windows platforms.
