LyX is an almost WYSIWYG-frontend for LaTeX that runs under the X Window System. It makes the power and typesetting quality of LaTeX available for people who are used to word processors. Since LyX supports LaTeX'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's power is lost.
This meta-package installs LyX common files, the frontend (Qt or XForms) and other packages needed by LyX.
This package can be safely removed after install.
You can extend the functionality of LyX by installing these packages:
* ispell or aspell: an interactive spelling corrector * kdeprint or lpr: a printing tool * konqueror or www-browser: allows to view HTML documents * kghostview or postscript-viewer: allows to view PostScript documents * kghostview or pdf-viewer: allows to view PDF documents * sgmltools-lite: allows to export SGML DocBook documents * linuxdoc-tools: allows to export SGML LinuxDoc documents * rcs: allows to use versioning feature * tex4ht or hevea or tth or latex2html: allows to export HTML documents * gnuhtml2latex: allows to import HTML documents * wv: allows to import Word documents
