High level LaTeX frontend

Not tested on a device yet. What that means

LyX in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own lyx package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so LyX should look and behave as it does on a Linux PC. On Samsung DeX, Floating mode opens it as its own window beside your Android apps, and Desktop mode runs it on a full Linux desktop.

With Device files granted, a document saved in your Linux Documents or Downloads folder is in Android's folder too, where Android apps can open it. More about office apps in Breadstick.

About LyX

From Debian's package description

LyX is an almost WYSIWYG-frontend for LaTeX. It makes the power and typesetting quality of LaTeX available for people who are used to word processors. Since LyX supports LaTeX's concept of general mark-ups, it is even easier and faster to create professional quality documents with it than with usual word processors. It is also possible to use LaTeX commands within LyX, so nothing of LaTeX's power is lost.

You can extend the functionality of LyX by installing these packages:

  • chktex: check for typographical errors
  • gnuhtml2latex: import HTML documents
  • groff: improved table formatting in plain text exports
  • gnumeric: import spreadsheats
  • librsvg2-bin, inkscape: use the SVG image format in LyX documents
  • lilypond: support for musical sheets
  • maxima: integrated CAS support for equation evaluation
  • mythes-*: use the OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice Thesaurus
  • noweb, r-cran-knitr: use literate programming
  • rcs, cvs, svn, git: integrated version control
  • texlive-xetex/luatex: use the XeTeX/LuaTeX typesetting system
  • wv: import MS Word documents
  • xsltproc (or saxon with openjdk-17-jre), docbook-xsl: ePub export

From Debian's description of the lyx package, under that package's license. The project text Debian publishes for this app could not be traced to a file in the package, so its license is unknown. Debian's description is shown instead.
