Tech: LyX text editor

Do you like LaTeX's beautiful output but hate its nasty scripting syntax? Well, maybe LyX is the software for you. It tries to give the user-friendliness of WYSIWYG ("What You See Is What You Get") editors like Microsoft Word but keep the power and uniform elegance of LaTeX. The authors of LyX call their philosophy WYSIWYM ("What You See Is What You Mean"). Check out a review of the program here. Available for Mac, UNIX/Linux, and Windows.

I haven't tried it since I'm old fashioned (I still code webpages by typing the HTML tags.)
