Basic Philosophy
\begin_inset Info Hint: Section titles should probably stand out more
\end_inset
\layout Standard
The basic philosophy of LyX is that you should worry about the form of what
you're writing and not the content.
\layout Subsection
How LyX does it
\layout Standard
LyX uses LaTeX, a document preparation system designed by Leslie Lamport
in 1985.
It, in turn, was built up from a typesetting language called TeX, created
by Donald Knuth in 1984.
LaTeX is designed around a philosophy similar to that of LyX.
Leslie Lamport once said (see
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{cit:lamp}
\end_inset
)
\begin_inset Info Hint: Probably, this CITATION REFERENCE shouldn't be
"hard-coded". What if we make Lamport's book the second
item in the bibliography?
\end_inset
:
\layout Quote
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
The function of typographic design is to help the reader understand the
author's ideas.
For a document to be easy to read, its visual structure must reflect its
logical structure.
Quotations and computer programs, being logically distinct structural elements,
should be distinguished visually from one another....
Since LaTeX can't understand your prose, you must explicitly indicate the
logical structure by typing special commands....
As you are writing your document, you should be concerned with its logical
structure, not its visual appearance.

\begin_inset Info Hint: This is a QUOTE

Why LyX is better
\layout Standard
LyX can be useful to more people than LaTeX.
It's considerably easier to learn, because you don't need to learn LaTeX
(which is practically a programming language).
LyX is basically like other
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
What you see is what you get
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
word processors, except that LyX is
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
What you see is what you mean
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
In this way, it combines the ease of use of word processors with the power
of LaTeX.
This is a Good Thing.
Also, the file format is platform independent.
Best of all, it's FREE!
\layout Section
Features of LyX
\layout Standard
LyX has many features which make writing documents easier.
\begin_float footnote
\layout Standard
After all, why else would you want to use it?
\end_float
\begin_inset Info Hint: This parenthetical statement would look better in a footnote
\end_inset
I'm
\emph on
very excited
\emph default
\begin_inset Info Hint: Emphasize!
\end_inset
to talk about them.
Here's a list of just a few.
\layout Itemize
LyX worries about margins, and footnote numbering for you
\layout Itemize
LyX makes it simple to write and edit mathematical formulae
\layout Standard
For a more philosophical discussion of why LyX is better than lots of other
word processors, see Section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:better}
\end_inset
, which can be found on page
\begin_inset LatexCommand \pageref{sec:better}
\end_inset
.
\begin_inset Info Hint: Probably, these CROSS-REFERENCES shouldn't be
"hard-coded". What if we change the section numbers?
\end_inset

Lame attempts to use other LyX stuff
\layout Standard
I wrote a program the other day.
It looked like this.

\layout Standard
\family typewriter
20 GOTO 10

\begin_inset Info Hint: This is computer CODE
\end_inset
\layout Standard
After all that scientific thinking, I started feeling more artistic, so
I wrote this haiku
\layout Verse
LyX is really great
\newline
Typesetting word processor
\newline
It saves so much time
\begin_inset Info Hint: It's not very good, but it is poetry,
otherwise known as VERSE
\end_inset
\layout Section
Math Stuff
\begin_inset Info Hint: these math things should be printed in math mode!
\end_inset
\layout Standard
My favorite equation is the solution to a quadratic equation.
If
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula \( ax^{2}+bx+c=0 \)
\end_inset
\layout Standard
then
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula \( ax^{2}+bx+c=0 \)
\end_inset
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula \( x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a} \)
\end_inset
(eq.
2).
\layout Standard
Another favorite equation is the basis of calculus:
\begin_inset Formula \( f'(x) \)
\end_inset
is defined as the limit as
\begin_inset Formula \( \lim _{\delta x\rightarrow 0}\frac{f(x+\delta x)-f(x)}{\delta
x} \)
\end_inset
.
