LyX is a document processor started in 1995 that uses a WYSIWYM (what you see is what you mean) approach rather than a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) interface. It supports LaTeX and has seen several major releases, with the latest version 2.0 planned for 2011. LyX allows formatting of mathematical equations and structured documents and includes pre-built layouts for documents like academic papers and books.
