Re: thanks for LyX and our LyX-List [was: Drawing an arc]

That's the reason some people like to ask on this kind list Wolfgang Hi friends, I'm really thankful for all the people, who contribute to this wonderful LyX and this kind email-list. Many times I've found here important support, often I've learned about some deep mystics of LyX & LateX, and sometimes I've could help some other people with a little advice. And not totally off topic :-) theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli has just published a nice book with short essays with the title: "There Are Places in the World Where Rules Are Less Important Than Kindness And Other Thoughts on Physics, Philosophy and the World". Might our LyX-list also in future be such a place, where kindness is more important than a gathering of RTFM's. Again, thank you all very much - bernhard -- M.B.

Thanks for LyX
Hi LyX developers and community, I'm putting the finishing touches on the first draft of a 100K word book, and while typing I was thinking how wonderful LyX is, and how grateful I am for LyX. Unlike other writing tools, LyX ignores accidental double spaces or accidental double newlines. It never crashes except in on very specific math activity, so you just back up a lot in math. It never screws up your file. It's WYSIWYG enough to see what's what in the editing environment without compiling to PDF, but not so WYSIWYG to introduce code bloat and instability. LyX is built for speed. I've had a 6000 word day using LyX, a couple 5000 word days, and several 4000 word days. Thanks so much for this spectacular writing tool.

Re: Thanks for LyX
I wanted to take the chance provided by one of the periodic thanks for lyx messages that Steve sends :) to tell my own success story. Next Friday I finally have the public defence of my doctoral dissertation. It has been written in LyX from scratch, and it's been a pleasure to do so. And, while the content is very debatable, it looks seriously beautiful. You guys appear in the acknowledgements and, as I guess you will not be reading it anytime soon, let me copy here the relevant passage: I would also like to thank the online community that has made the actual process of writing and typesetting this dissertation so much easier, by developing the software and helping newbies like me to undertand and benefit from it. Among many others: the LyX developers that read the LyX-users mailing list, André Miede for creating the beautiful LaTeX syle I have used to typeset the dissertation, and Nick Mariette who ported it to LyX. Details on how to get the amazing set of tools provided by this group of incredibly generous people can be found in page 229. So, yeah, thanks for LyX. Manolo

thanks to LyX team
Hi all, I just wanted to thank the LyX team for the work they do. I have written my PhD thesis 2 years ago with LyX, and it never failed on me. Even when X crashed once (in a 6 month period), LyX managed not to loose a single letter of my work. It may seem late to thank the team now, but since I have now an anti-spam email (thanks yahoo) and my thesis have been finally uploaded on the web site of the university, I thought better late than ever ;) The pdf (acrobat-friendly) can be found at: http://www-optics.unine.ch/publications/theses/Thesis_Ripoll.pdf Cheers, Olivier Ripoll. PS: I know at least two other theses written with LyX at the same institute, one of which is also online now: http://www-optics.unine.ch/publications/theses/Thesis_Gonte.pdf

Re: thanks to LyX team
Hi I would like to join the applause for the lyx team. Although Lyx was not around when I did mine, I use it very extensively for writing proposals and just about everything else. I had years of latex and miktex before my linux days.There is a world of difference when you have to do bibliographies and an index apart from all the other productivity. Coming to latex was a wonderful leap. Taking to Lyx is a whole new world. The only problem is when one has to talk to the rest of the world in .doc The lyx team has done a grand job and its nice to be able to say thank you now that we have been reminded not to take it for granted. samar - Original Message - From: Jean-Marc Lasgouttes [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Olivier Ripoll [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 4:17 PM Subject: Re: thanks to LyX team Olivier == Olivier Ripoll [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Olivier Hi all, I just wanted to thank the LyX team for the work they Olivier do.

Anand There are times when there is no choice, for instance when someone wants to add or edit what you have written. In practice in such cases, I used lineno.sty which prints line numbers on each line and allows people to suggest changes by line number. However, there are many times when one would like to be able to produce a word doc for others, but I do realize that word does not have the wealth of formatting that we have in latex so its an impossible dream in all probability.

Hi all, I just wanted to thank the LyX team for the work they do. I have written my PhD thesis 2 years ago with LyX, and it never failed on me. Even when X crashed once (in a 6 month period), LyX managed not to loose a single letter of my work. It may seem late to thank the team now, but since I have now an anti-spam email (thanks yahoo) and my thesis have been finally uploaded on the web site of the university, I thought better late than ever ;) The pdf (acrobat-friendly) can be found at: http://www-optics.unine.ch/publications/theses/Thesis_Ripoll.pdf Cheers, Olivier Ripoll. PS: I know at least two other theses written with LyX at the same institute, one of which is also online now: http://www-optics.unine.ch/publications/theses/Thesis_Gonte.pdf

Re: thanks to LyX team
Hi I would like to join the applause for the lyx team. Although Lyx was not around when I did mine, I use it very extensively for writing proposals and just about everything else. I had years of latex and miktex before my linux days.There is a world of difference when you have to do bibliographies and an index apart from all the other productivity. Coming to latex was a wonderful leap. Taking to Lyx is a whole new world. The only problem is when one has to talk to the rest of the world in .doc The lyx team has done a grand job and its nice to be able to say thank you now that we have been reminded not to take it for granted. samar - Original Message - From: Jean-Marc Lasgouttes [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Olivier Ripoll [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 4:17 PM Subject: Re: thanks to LyX team Olivier == Olivier Ripoll [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Olivier Hi all, I just wanted to thank the LyX team for the work they Olivier do.
