Have anyone across this? It is a kind of word processor, designed for scientists but produces teX files. So complex equations can be copied and pasted into moodle. It also says it is good for producing structured documents like reading lists
From the link above
“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.On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output — or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced — looks like nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs, all looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes ‘eating’ your dissertation the evening before going to press.
LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux and the Macintosh and modern Windows platforms.”
Not tried it yet but the screen grabs are very impressive. It could be useful.

It looks like you can also type normal Tex into it, which is good. The procedure for entering “pi”, for example, is rather involved using the menus, whereas (as the authors point out) you could just type \pi . The menus are still useful for entering those symbols that you don’t know (or can’t work out) in Tex.
