fighting word? get your lyx in...

Lyx: yep. It's a keeper.

Here's why...

  • The underlying typesetting language is based on LaTeX (easy to script up later)
  • It has an excellent document model (independent of it presentation layer)
  • Large file or small documents (loaded up a 300 pager, no problem)
  • Open source (thank you)
  • Multi-platform (Linux, Windows, OSX, Unix, Solaris)
  • Templates (pre-built document models for books, papers, articles, resumes etc)
  • Dynamic presentation generation (UI is easy to use to the output you need)
  • ...and speaking of output, it easily gens pdf & html (with hyperlinks)
  • Automatic table of contents (easily one of my favorite features)
  • Integrates with your revision control system
