Lyx looks promising but I want do some stuff that isn't on the menus.
For example, I'd like to create a command like this (simplified):
\newcommand{\techword}[1]{\emph{#1}}
However, lyx just doesn't get it:
LyX: Unknown token `\techword{Highlighted}'. Inserting as text. [around line 72 of
file ~/.fun/en.lyx]
And it turns my use of the command into gook:
\backslash techword{Highlighted}
How useful. :-P
So what's the advantage over xemacs? Maybe I can use lyx to prototype
latex to cut & paste into my emacs buffer? It doesn't make sense. Why
did you folks go to all the trouble of creating a beautiful graphical
editor? Please tell me I'm missing something.
