on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
released under a Free and Open Source Software license.
-LyX 2.3.6 is the sixth maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. It is the
-result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more reliable and

-One oft-requested feature (going back 13 years) is the ability to create
