[Papyrus-L] Papyrus and Lyx?

[Michael Logies]

Dave,

could you think about supporting Lyx? Lyx is a graphical, easy to use 
frontend for Latex. I think, it has great potential, because it is 
multi-platform (including Apple, Linux, Windows), free and finally makes 
Latex available for the masses (= users outside mathematics and 
engineering). It started on Linux, I think, but the version for Windows is 
quite stable now. I have started writing my thesis with it and it is fun to 
use. Lyx comes with nice help files.

Who wants to know what Latex is about:

Word Processors: Stupid and Inefficient

And the Lyx data files are pure ASCII and similar to Latex. The community 
it quite supportive:

All you need to install a Latex/Lyx system for Windows can be found here:

One caveat: For this lyx-version all lyx files and the files of helper 
programs (e. g. ghostscript, acrobat) should be installed in pathes without 
spaces in the name (as written in the installation guide on the mentioned 
page above).

Thanks
