TeXmacs is a good alternative. Hiding away preamble stuff has always been sufficiently problematic for me for me not to take to LyX. I have not much used TeXmacs but it has a lot of this and more. For my documents, I stick to LaTeX with a live preview. Just can't beat that kind of power. On

Suggestion to improve Lyx for LaTEX users

Hi there, I am a new user of Lyx, but a not a beginner in LaTEX. I couldn’t find in the internet why Lyx doesn’t allow to edit the source LaTEX file. It would be an awesome feature and could make Lyx a great rival against the other LaTEX editors. I like the simplicity of Lyx and the features

Re: Suggestion to improve Lyx for LaTEX users

I have to plug emacs for native lyx support. That application is awesome at parsing raw Latex. As Richard said, this is the antithesis of why anyone would use Lyx. I have become a huge fan of seamlessly integrating my latex documents, mostly tables, using the input command and editing the .tex
