Document Processor

This is a snippet of my next collaborative article for the popular press. I tried it out with the document processor (not word processor) Lyx today. It is a different concept. It strips out a vast array of features that a word processor would normally use -- fonts, alignment, spacing, and so on -- and automates the process. OBSERVATION: It felt a bit like cheating to me. All those things they taught you about academic writing, you may forget. The key is that button top left, labelled "Standard". This tells Lyx what you are doing (say, writing an introduction), and Lyx does all the rest.
