This screenshot shows KLyX, the KDE incarnation of the popular word
processor LyX. LyX combines the WYSIWYG concept of modern word
processors with the unsurpassed print quality of TeX. KLyX differs very
much from common word processors because you tell KLyX what you are
doing and KLyX deals with the rest. You don't concern yourself with what
character goes where. KLyX integrates the power of LyX into your
favorite desktop environment.

The screenshots from the titlepage in its full size.
You can see some mathematics and the document structure editor, which
also allows easy and fast navigation through longer documents.
The next shot shows a modified postscript picture from M.C.Escher in
a figure float. You can also see the typical context menu on the right
mouse button which gives you fast access to frequent used operations. Of
course this popup menu is context sensitive.
In the next shot you can see an equation while it is edited. Although
all functionality is available with keyboard shortcuts, you can also use
the math-toolbar with its modern browse-boxes.
LyX supported multiple documents from the very beginning. In
addition, KLyX supports also multiple windows and splitted views. That
means you can also see different parts of the same document at the same
time. This is very usefull if you only want to read parts of your
document while working on another part.
Most certainly KLyX also supports tables. Please notice the special
table toolbar above the document window which appears dynamically when
the cursor is inside a table. The screenshot also shows the right mouse
button context menu for table editing, which gives even faster access
than the powerful toolbar for some often used features.
There are two ways to preview the exact output of your document. You
can either see the dvi-file (device independent file) with kdvi or the
postscript output (the format which is sent to the printer) with KDE´s
postscript viewer kghostview. Both application can be easily invoked
from inside KLyX with File->ViewDvi or File->ViewPostscript. The
postscript preview has the advantage that it is 100% WYSWYG (what you
see is what you get) because you preview the printer output. The dvi
preview on the other hand is much faster.
