LyX Development Team is pleased to announce LyX 1.0.1 and refute
the claim that there is no open source word processor! Here
(www.lyx.org) is a full featured document processor which exports
LaTeX for hard copy. Much more than just a “GUI front end for
LaTeX”, LyX now also supports literate programming. A phenomenal
math editor, figures, tables… LyX menus, and on-line docs partly,
have been translated to over a dozen languages. LyX allows embedded
LaTeX code and imports existing LaTeX files. But best of all, LyX
can be used by your non-LaTeX-aware relatives and friends!
