Type: desktop-application
ID: lyx.desktop
Package: lyx
Name:
  C: LyX
Summary:
  C: High level LaTeX frontend
Description:
  C: |-
    <p>LyX is an almost WYSIWYG-frontend for LaTeX. It makes the power and typesetting quality of LaTeX available
    for people who are used to word processors. Since LyX supports LaTeX&apos;s concept of general mark-ups,
    it is even easier and faster to create professional quality documents with it than with usual word processors.
    It is also possible to use LaTeX commands within LyX, so nothing of LaTeX&apos;s power is lost. You can
    extend the functionality of LyX by installing these packages: * chktex: check for typographical errors
    * gnuhtml2latex: import HTML documents * groff: improved table formatting in plain text exports * gnumeric:
    import spreadsheats * librsvg2-bin, inkscape: use the SVG image format in LyX documents * lilypond: support
    for musical sheets * maxima: integrated CAS support for equation evaluation * mythes-*: use the OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice
    Thesaurus * noweb, r-cran-knitr: use literate programming * rcs, cvs, svn, git: integrated version control
    * texlive-xetex/luatex: use the XeTeX/LuaTeX typesetting system * wv: import MS Word documents * xsltproc
    (or saxon with openjdk-17-jre), docbook-xsl: ePub export</p>
