 %description
-LyX is a front-end for LaTeX under X11. It combines the comfortable use
-of a word processor with the high quality of LaTeX typesetting.
-Documents are displayed in a WYSIWYG-like way. User does not choose low
-level attributes ("large italic") but high level layouts (styles) for
-each paragraph. Of course, low level formatting is still possible.
+LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
+based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. The
+author can concentrate on the content (What You See Is What You Mean).
+The formatting is done by the backends (like LaTeX) and the output can
+have different formats, such as DVI, postscript, PDF, html.
