Dear LYX Documentation team,
I attach a suggested rewrite of chapter 1, The Philosophy of LYX, which is a part of the Introduction to LYX document. I have rewritten it because I believe it does not properly present the arguments for and against the use of LYX or its modern alternatives. I believe its case against word processors is out of touch with modern reality; and its case for LYX does not present its advantages correctly. I am but an occasional user of LYX. I am a retired programmer who is now involved with various voluntary groups, and the associated documents and spreadsheets. I have used both the Windows and Linux versions of LYX. On my 'main computer' I use Windows and Microsoft Office; on my other computers I use what came with them or what is cost-free - usually Libre Office. I have copied your first paragraph in section 1.1, but used the Standard English 'mother' rather than the US vernacular 'mom'. LYX is a product for many nations, so Standard English is preferred for the English version. The other sections and paragraphs are my own. Yours sincerely, Michael Gorman [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
