What is LyX?
LyX is a program that provides a more modern approach to writing documents with a computer, an approach that breaks with the obsolete tradition of the “typewriter concept.” It is designed for authors who want professional output quickly with a minimum of effort without becoming specialists in typesetting. The job of typesetting is done mostly by the computer, not the author; with LyX, the author can concentrate on the contents of her writing. LyX provides an “almost-WYSIWYG” view of the document. “Almost” means that the line- and page-breaks are not displayed exactly as they will appear in the printed document. However, that’s not really necessary, since LyX uses a separate typesetter program (called LaTeX) to perform the final formatting of your text. While LyX contains everything it needs to be a comfortable user interface, the typesetting program contains everything necessary to format text, and do so very, very well. So, line- and page-breaks aren’t your problem anymore. Rememberin
