LyX

Elisabeth Maria Magin (Oslo)

«What You Get Is What You Want»-Editor for LaTeχ. Basically built around the principle of giving people a user interface familiar from other word processors.

LyX | LyX – The Document Processor

• Using LaTeχ for formatting in the background
• Export into a variety of other formats out-of-the-box (HTML, doc, odt)
• Because LaTeχ is in the background, Lyχ supports A LOT of features that are difficult to achieve in regular Word processors, for example turning characters upside down, mirroring them, etc.
• Requires consistent structuring of document
• But most of the markup/LaTeχ-code stays in the background
• Freeware available at lyx.org
• Potentially also via University software library (UiO has it)
• Extremely good cross-linking within the document, automatic indexing and further fun features (fancy coloured boxes with Important Stuff!)

Lesson plan written in Lyχ for an introductory lesson on Old Norse
