LyX is an open source and free software project that has been designed from the ground up to act as a document processor, encouraging users to write their documents based on structure instead of appearance. It is a WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean) editor that combines the flexibility and power of the LaTeX document markup language and TeX typesetting system.

Features at a glance

Key features include a mathematical formula editor, equation arrays, support of math macros, basic CAS (Computer Algebra System) support, equation numbering, support for custom matrices, algorithms and math macros, theorems, standard word processing functionality, numbered section headings, support for captions, subtables and subfigures, interactive WYSIWYG tables, character styles, as well as dedicated modules.

Additionally, LyX features support for a wide range of graphic formats, including Dia, SVG, EPS and XFig, support for wrapped tables and figures, support for intelligently floating tables and figures, image scaling, rotation and cropping, support for Right-to-Left languages like Arabic and Hebrew, SGML-tools support, FAX functionality, and text completion support.

Create world-class mathematical content, books and theses

The application can be used to easily and effortlessly create world-class mathematical content thanks to its built-in equation editor, as well as structured documents, such as theses, books and academic articles. Additionally, LyX comes with a wide range of templates that allows you to create ToCs (Table of Contents) and reference lists, letters, film scripts, theatre plays, and novels.

Under the hood and supported operating systems

A quick look under the hood will show us that the application is written entirely in the C++ programming language and uses the Qt GUI toolkit for its graphical user interface. At the moment, LyX is a cross-platform software that supports any distribution of Linux, as well as the Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows operating systems. For your convenience, the program is translated in various languages.

What is new in this release:

  • LyX 2.2.3 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more reliable and more stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements. Most of these are relatively minor.

What is new in version :

  • LyX 2.2.3 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more reliable and more stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements. Most of these are relatively minor.

What is new in version 2.2.2:

  • LyX 2.2.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more reliable and more stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements. Most of these are relatively minor, but we nonetheless encourage all users of 2.2.1 to upgrade to this version. Perhaps the most important bug we fixed affected use of covington.sty with 2.2.1. This will only have affected users of the Linguistics module. One new feature is the use of the "scaling" option when exporting images for XHTML. This does not work the same way as with LaTeX export. What it does is add something like "width: 50%" to the style attribute. This will ordinarily be interpreted by the browser as a percentage relative to the current element.

What is new in version 2.1.3:

  • This is an emergency release for OSX only. It resolves problems that affect LyX on OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) and, indeed, any program that depends upon the passing of environment variables to sub-processes. Only users of OSX 10.10 should upgrade to this version.

What is new in version 2.1.1:

  • LyX 2.1.1 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements. These are detailed below. We strongly encourage all LyX users to upgrade to this version.
  • Several users have reported seemingly random crashes with 2.1.0, sometimes resulting in dataloss. These crashes appear to happen when the user attempts to save a file, and the dataloss occurs because the original LyX file is over- written by a corrupt file that then cannot be opened. The seemingly random crashes, we believe, are due to auto-save, which is enabled or disabled in Tools> Preferences> Document Handling > Backup documents every...minutes.
  • Unfortunately, we have been unable to find the cause of this bug, though all known reports seem to involve documents that contain tables, and the corrupt file always ends with: \begin_inset Tabular.
  • To prevent dataloss, we have changed the way LyX saves files if the user has not enabled backups. LyX now renames the existing file before attempting to save the new one (in effect, making a temporary backup). Then, if the save fails, the original file can be restored.

What is new in version 2.0.6:

  • Updates:
  • DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT:

What is new in version 1.6.7:

  • From the list of fixes and improvements, we'd like to highlight particularly that this release irons out all known stability problems with Qt 4.6. LyX 1.6.7 is our first release that is supposed to run smoothly with Qt 4.6, so we urge all distributors who use that version to upgrade LyX as well.
  • All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

What is new in version 1.6.6.1:

  • The sole purpose of this release is to fix one regression that was introduced by LyX 1.6.6: The spellchecker missed further misspellings after applying a correction. This was due to the fix to different bug that had to be reverted. In any other respect, this release is identical to LyX 1.6.6.

What is new in version 1.6.5:

  • This is the fifth maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. The release comes with many fixes and improvements. A number of newly reported crashes were fixed, new layouts and modules were included and some long-standing requests were implemented (e.g., a working LyX server on the Windows OS, finally enabling the communication with other applications such as JabRef on this platform as well).
  • All users and distributors are encouraged to upgrade to this version.
