Have you written any long documents or a book with LyX? Any recommendations on resources for learning LyX or LaTeX? There are a lot of Markdown-based publishing tools being promoted these days.
Honestly, if you can use Word or LibreOffice, you can already use LyX. It's that easy. I have one short free work published, and a couple of unpublished works still in production, and I've also used it to generate documentation for some of my other works (though sadly, HTML output is pretty basic, nothing up to par with Matthew's Pollen or Racket Scribble). I think the aforementioned short work is probably a good enough sample of what you can get up to with the most minimal of effort or know-how in LyX: https://github.com/jarcane/bedroom-wall-press/blob/master/RO...
As for the LaTeX underneath, well, I've seldom needed to muck with it. LyX abstracts out a lot of the undercarriage and lets me get on with things in a more GUI-friendly way, though the fallback is always there if I need it (usually just a few extra tags here and there). If I were doing more custom template work though, I probably would need to dig more into LaTeX proper.
