Lyx isn't sufficiently stable, either. I'm really surprised that anyone would entrust documents that are large or would take much effort to reproduce a WYSIWYG word processing software. Besides that emacs (or, if you can't avoid it, Lyx) and LaTeX are much better tools for this, they are sufficiently stable and have the added benefit that you can still use your documents with arbitrary text editors. WYSIWYG word processors come and go over time, disappearing much faster than emacs and LaTeX ... -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] In case of problems unsubscribing, write to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
