Re: [seul-edu] Linux DTP



    I don't know anything about LyX. Does it run in a GUI? I don't want the students to have to learn code, just be able to place and move objects as in most DTP programs.

What about LyX?  Being based as it is on TeX it may do what you want.  It also
is open source, so the principal should have no problem funding the effort.
