LyX - A WYSIWYM document processor.
-LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great, right
-out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting details, 'finger
-painting' font attributes or futzing around with page boundaries. You just
-write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary TeX typesetting engine
-makes you look good.
+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).
+
+LyX combines the power and flexibility of TeX/LaTeX with the
+ease of use of a graphical interface.
+This results in world-class support for creation of mathematical
+content (via a fully integrated equation editor) and structured
+documents like academic articles, theses, and books.
