LyX combines the power and flexibility of TeX/LaTeX with the
ease of use of a graphical interface. This results in
world-class support for creation of mathematical content (via a
fully integrated equation editor) and structured documents like
academic articles, theses, and books. In addition, staples of
scientific authoring such as reference list and index creation
come standard. But you can also use LyX to create a letter or a
novel or a theatre play or film script. A broad array of ready,
well-designed document layouts are built in.
