LyX is a wordprocessor frontend to LaTeX, which gives both the
ease-of-use of a wordprocessor, and the flexibility and power
of LaTeX.
LyX produces high quality, professional output -- using LaTeX, an
industrial strength typesetting engine, in the background; LyX is
far more than a front-end to LaTeX, however. No knowledge of LaTeX
is necessary to use LyX, although it will give a user more power.
LyX is stable and fully featured. It has been used for documents
as large as a thesis, or as small as a business letter.
Despite its simple GUI interface (available in many languages),
it suports tables, figures, and hyperlinked cross-references, and
best-of-breed math editor.
