plug: LyX article on Linux.com

2008-08-28 Thread killermike
I've just written an overview of the new features in the forthcoming 1.6 
release for Linux.com. Apologies to the developers if significant 
features had to be marginalised because I had to prioritise. A big 
thanks for pulling off another great release.

Looks like a good overview to me. (Thanks in particular for really 
seeing the point of layout modules!) The only thing I'd have done 
differently would have been to put a bit more emphasis on the new math 
macro implementation. It solves truckloads of old problems, such as: If 
you had an included document that contained nothing but your favorite 
macros, you had to load it before loading any document that included it 
to get LyX to recognize the macros. That kind of thing.

That is a nice article. :-)
Better yet rc2 is around the corner (if all goes well tomorrow). :-)

Thanks for the great work,

Point taken. I'll try to get further into the math stuff next time I do 
a write up.

I second that :-)


Thanks.


And thanks to you for advertising LyX, we will need more of this when 
1.6.0 is finally out.
