Unix Software: Document Processing: LyX

Description

LyX claims to be an innovative new approach to document creation and typesetting, that it frees the user from thinking about typesetting and formatting because it handles most of that on it's own. LyX requires LaTeX, PostScript, and XForms to be available on your system (all of which are installed on the Geonet Solaris systems).

Location

/usr/site/lyx

Commands

lyx - run LyX. The first time it is run, it goes through a lenghty initialization procedure.

Documentation

Index of LyX readmes, install docs, etc.
