LyX for Windows

Thursday, October 13, 2005

Have been looking into various LaTeX distributions today. Mostly packed for Linux machines except for a few that have been so kindly ported over to Windows, MikTeX (oh so popular), LyX and TeX Live (which I think is unnecessary to have a few distributions in one pack)

LyX is offering a WYSIWYM document processor using LaTeX, which should be an incredibly powerful front-end for easy typesetting. No tears! Spent quite awhile grumbling over the need to use MinGW and Msys to remake LyX from source codes.

1.3.6 does supports Windows platform! I might try spare some time to fiddle with it soon.
