This results in 13 world-class support for creation of mathematical content (via a 14 fully integrated equation editor) and structured documents like 15 academic articles, theses, and books. In addition, staples of 16 scientific authoring such as reference list and index creation 17 come standard. But you can also use LyX to create a letter or a 18 novel or a theatre play or film script. A broad array of ready, 19 well-designed document layouts are built in.</p> 20 <p>LyX is for people who want their writing to look great, 21 right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting 22 details, “finger painting” font attributes or futzing around 23 with page boundaries. You just write. On screen, LyX looks like 24 any word processor; its printed output — or richly 25 cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced — looks like 26 nothing else.</p> 27 </description> 28 <screenshots> 29 <screenshot type="default" width="1000" height="814">http://www.lyx.org/images/about/main_window.png</screenshot> 30 <screenshot width="623" height="431">http://www.lyx.org/images/about/preview_dvi.png</screenshot> 31 <screenshot width="962" height="720">http://www.lyx.org/images/about/edit_menu.png</screenshot> 32 </screenshots> 33 <url type="homepage">http://www.lyx.org</url> 34 <updatecontact>lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org</updatecontact> 35</application> 36
