Bug#240439: RFA: lyx -- High Level Word Processor
Subject: RFA: lyx -- High Level Word Processor
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the lyx package. The package is not in a bad
state but I don't have too much time to maintain it. The most important
unresolved problem: after upgrade there are problems with ~/.lyx
configuration directory and often somethink doesn't work with old config.
I don't want to just sponsor this package. If you're not a developer, I
orphan the package. Rather I'd like to start the group project on Alioth.
The package description is:
LyX is an almost WYSIWYG-frontend for LaTeX that runs under the X Window
System. It makes the power and typesetting quality of LaTeX available for
people who are used to word processors. Since LyX supports LaTeX's concept
of general mark-ups, it is even easier and faster to create professional
quality documents with it than with usual word processors. It is also
possible to use LaTeX-commands within LyX, so nothing of LaTeX's power is
lost.
.
This meta-package installs LyX common files, the frontend (Qt or XForms)
and other packages needed by LyX.
.
This package can be safely removed after install.
.
You can extend the functionality of LyX by installing these packages:
* ispell or aspell: an interactive spelling corrector
* kdeprint or lpr: a printing tool
* konqueror or www-browser: allows to view HTML documents
* kghostview or postscript-viewer: allows to view PostScript documents
* kghostview or pdf-viewer: allows to view PDF documents
* sgmltools-lite: allows to export SGML DocBook documents
* linuxdoc-tools: allows to export SGML LinuxDoc documents
* rcs: allows to use versioning feature
* tex4ht or hevea or tth or latex2html: allows to export HTML documents
* gnuhtml2latex: allows to import HTML documents
* wv: allows to import Word documents
