Dear Helge,
Of course, that I will create the presentation with LyX, I plan to show the source also. Thanks you for the answer, I asked it, because I would like to show the opinion of the community, not only my privet opinion. I think the live demo will not be possible, because I don't have a preconfigured laptop to take with me. :( Alex > Some ideas: > Tell about LyX strengths: > * Excellent typesetting thanks to latex.
