LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents (WYSIWYM) and not simply their appearance (WYSIWYG). Every student who is trying to take LaTeX notes in a math-heavy lecture will soon get lost. Although LaTeX math becomes quite a standard, we have to admit that it's not an easy task to write and edit math in raw LaTeX code. Even if I got a larger screen, having a PDF to preview every so often is distracting, and syncing the scroll position of the LaTeX code and the PDF file is not smooth.Īnother source of pain is math editing. On the other hand, 1/2 of the screen is too small for larger equations and tables, which looks pretty bad when the line is wrapped. On the one hand, 1/2 of the screen is too small for the generated PDF file which is usually on A4 paper. ![]() The most annoying one for me is that splitting a pane on a small laptop screen is painful. The PDF preview is nice, but there are some problems with it. On the contrary, finding the related contents in rendered PDF is much easier and quicker. It's a mixture of commands and contents, and it's missing visual clues for the document structure. It's obvious why nearly all those LaTeX editors have a preview pane of the rendered PDF file: the raw LaTeX code is not intuitive. Many LaTeX users are using similar software for writing documents.
