This book started out as a tutorial whitepaper where I work. Once I hit about 50 pages and saw the number of topics and amount of material on each were going to turn the project into a book, I knew Word wasn't going to be up to the job (lost figures, mangled cross-references, abysmal multi-file document support, and on and on). I'd used LaTeX extensively for other complex documents and considered going that route, but it had also been some years since I'd looked into LaTeX frontends. The last time I had checked they were alpha quality at best and there was no such thing as LyX. When I found LyX around mid-2001, it seemed to be just what I wanted. The only question was, "Would it be up to the job?" It was and more so. I used the built-in book template, BibTeX, aspell, and xfig. The book ended up at 400+ pages. I never lost a single bit of work, even using those earlier versions of LyX. I would estimate it increased my productivity over Word by at least an order of magnitude. I now use Word only when necessary and only for documents under 50 pages or so. Anything else, short or long, I do in Lyx. And since the underlying representation is text-based, changes can be stored much more economically in our change management systems. Burchill, J. K., D. J. Knudsen, B. J. J. Bock, R.F. Pfaff, Jr., D.D. Wallis, J.H. Clemmons, S.R. Bounds, H. Stenbaek-Nielsen. Core ion interactions with BB ELF, lower hybrid, and Alfvén waves in the high-latitude topside ionosphere. Submitted to Journal of Geophysical Research, 2003. -- I used a slightly modified AGU class style for this. JKB 030919 Burchill, J. K., "High-resolution observations of core and suprathermal ions in the auroral ionosphere: techniques and results from the GEODESIC sounding rocket", Ph.D. thesis, University of Calgary (Department of Physics and Astronomy), September, 2003 -- I made up a LyX layout file for this, which gives layouts for:
Also got change tracking working for it on LyX 1.3.2, and it was quite useful. Here is an excerpt from my acknowledgements: "This thesis was written using free software. It was typeset with the TeX/LaTeX2e system on the GNU/Linux operating system. The LyX document processor was used for the actual writing. Thanks go to the LyX development team for the awesome software. Some graphics were converted to suitable formats with The GIMP, XFIG and ImageMagick. Sixpack and GBib were used for managing the bibliographic database."

The paper basically uses the standard Article (koma-script) template. A condensed version published in IMechE J Rail & Rapid Transit (vol 218, pp 299–316, 2004)

Also, most of the articles and white papers on my web site were done with LyX. http://www.appl-ecosys.com/publications/ The OpenBSD PF Packet Filter Book: PF for NetBSD, FreeBSD, DragonFly and OpenBSD. Ed. Jeremy C. Reed. Keller, Texas: Reed Media Services. 2006. 193 pages. ISBN-13: 978-0-9790342-0-6. See http://www.reedmedia.net/books/pf-book/. Uses Koma-script book class. Allison B Tyree, The Restless Minestrone, Sage Tutorial Systems Pty Ltd, 2007 The Restless Minestrone is a cookbook of some 270 pages. It includes line drawings and an index. A recipe is typically a couple of pages long and usually includes a drawing. Layout is more intricate than most books, but not so complicated as to require Scribus or other similar "desktop publishing" software. LyX did the job splendidly. I was surprised at how well the manuscript looked even without any special LaTeX "tweaking". In the end, the only LaTeX required was a few lines in the preamble necessary to adjust the look of chapter titles and recipe lists. Making the index with LyX was a pleasure, and the many cross-references were easy. I used the Memoir class and pdf output. The resulting pdf file went directly to the printer. The covers were done using Scribus. A sample page may be seen at http://web.aanet.com.au/sage Peter Ljunglöf, Göteborg University. Almost all my publications since 2004 are written using LyX. Most notably my PhD thesis (170 pages with lots of mathematical formulae and algorithms). http://www.ling.gu.se/~peb/pubs.html Barnsley, M.J., 2007, Environmental Modeling: A Practical Introduction, CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL, USA, 406p.
