A while back someone form SuSE suggested I use LyX to create large documents. I tried to use it and discovered it was very different to use than anything I was familiar with. Well now I started looking at it again. It really is nice. It even supports rudimentary SGML capabilities. In my mind, there is a great need for a graphical editor that displays useful interpretations of meaning oriented markup, rather than raw markup. The LyX people are very adamant that this is not WYSIWYG, it WYSIWYM. That is, what you see is what you mean. This type of editing is based on applying meta-information to the information represented in the words and other elements of the document. The display of the document is based on the meta-information, but it is not determined by it. In other word, the same SGML/WML document may be displayed very differently by different style sheets. This is a great idea, It seems LyX is a bit out of step with the mainstream of current technology in so much as, it does not (fully) support SGML/XML. It is recommended by the author of the LDP HowTo, as the tool of choice for creating LDP documents. These are SGML documents. This is also the format of KDE documentation. Take a look at this stuff. Also take a look at DocBook. All this stuff comes with the SuSE distribution. http://www.lyx.org/ Steve -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
