LyX is een opensource- en crossplatformsysteem waarmee documenten kunnen worden opgemaakt. Kort door de bocht is het een grafische gebruikersinterface voor TeX en LaTeX. Het wordt vooral in de academische wereld gebruikt, omdat het eenvoudig formules kan samenstellen en een overzicht van de documentstructuur toont. In tegenstelling tot reguliere tekstverwerkers die het wysiwyg-principe gebruiken, maakt LyX gebruik van wysiwym. Meer informatie over LyX kan op deze pagina worden gevonden. Versie 2.4.3 is uitgekomen en de releasenotes voor deze uitgave zien er als volgt uit:
Third Maintenance Release in 2.4.x Series: LyX 2.4.3 released.This is mostly a bug-fixing release. Most of the bugs are minor, but there was one significant one (13118) concerning the loading order of the fancyhdr package that was causing errors in page layout. In terms of updates, the most significant are that it is not possible to insert cross-references from the outliner, even to sections that have not yet been given a label. In that case, the label is automatically created. There has also been a major update to the Swedish localization.
