I've been a LyX user for five years(!), and I really have to say that the thing has grown on me. IMNSHO LyX is word processing done right. It's easy to use, and extremely powerful; especially if you need to be able to write, e.g., mathematical equations. But even for plain word processing it's a killer application. For instance, cross-references work out-of-the-box and the GUI is very simple and easy to use. And, since it uses LaTeX on the background, you can really do very neat things with it, if you want and know how. -- Jussi Lehtola Fedora Project Contributor jussilehtola@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
