LyX 2.0.6

LyX is a powerful document processor which allows you to write based on the structure of your documents (WYSIWYM) and not simply their appearance (WYSIWYG).

LyX brings to the table the power and flexibility of TeX/LaTeX amd the ease of use of a graphical interface.

The end results have enhanced support for creation of mathematical content (via a fully integrated equation editor) and structured documents like academic articles, theses, and books.

Moreover, LyX provides staples of scientific authoring such as reference list and index creation. You can also use LyX to create a letter or a novel or a theater play or film script. A broad array of ready, well-designed document layouts are built in.

Detailed instructions on how to install and use the LyX utility on your Mac are available HERE.

LyX is cross-platform and it works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. Binaries for the Windows and Linux platforms are available on the project's homepage.
