I believe that the emphasis here is wrong: LyX is an advanced open source document processor running on many Unix platforms (including MacOS X), OS/2, and under Windows/Cygwin. Note that all these ports use the same xforms interface and need an X server. Unlike standard word processors, LyX encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. LyX lets you concentrate on writing, leaving details of visual layout to the software. I would rearrange it so: LyX is an advanced open source document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance.
