Editing LyX (section)

==History==
[[Matthias Ettrich]] started developing a shareware program called Lyrix in 1995. It was then announced on [[Usenet]], where it received a great deal of attention in the following years.

Shortly after the initial release, Lyrix was renamed to LyX due to a name clash with a word processor produced by the company [[Santa Cruz Operation]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.development.apps/browse_thread/thread/aadd303eacc56148/d93ee9d5edc37f86|title=WANTED: Name for Wordprocessor (comp.os.linux.development.apps)|access-date=15 October 2010}}</ref> The name LyX was chosen because of the file suffix <samp>.lyx</samp> for Lyrix files.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lyx.org/misc/archaeology/|title=LyX Archaeology::Xforms timeline|website=www.lyx.org}}</ref>
