Hi
My name is Thomas, im helping a friend whos isn't particuarly home
with computers even though he uses Mathematica and Kile on a Linux
CentOS system to produce mathematical reports. He has some thoughts on
moving to Win7 environment but he has concerns regarding the WYSIWYM
editor, because he is used to struggle with the source based stuff :-)
So i short, are the any big differences regarding the potential output
and/or limitations connected to the use of Lyx compared to for example
the Kile editor?
In principle, you can do anything in LyX you can do in Kile, because you
can enter raw LaTeX into LyX if you wish. But that's not really the
point of LyX. Rather, this is:
How much time is it possible to save if the normal state of things is
struggling with formatting, commands etc in the source based stuff?
Tons. The whole idea is to hide the details of LaTeX from the user, so
that LyX works more like a traditional "word processor", though it's
also different in lots of other ways.
