I like LyX a lot, but I have issues with the generated LaTEX code. It does not lend itself very well for manual adjustments.
If I have to match a journal style, I will generally resort to Kile and write LaTeX directly, using the journal template (most journals only have LaTeX templates) and following their instructions.
But if the style is just a standard LaTeX style, LyX is great, especially for complex formulas. Unlike plain LaTeX you cannot ruin the structure of a math equation by misplacing a bracket.
- cryptonector 8y agoI like the idea of LyX, and its GUI, the implementation is showing its age a bit. Starting from scratch today it would be better to implement in Rust using XML as the .lyx document format and XSLT and XSLs for transformations to LaTeX and other output document formats. EDIT: And there are XSLs for such conversions. E.g., http://getfo.org/texml/ http://getfo.org/texml/
