biblatex-archaeology in its environment Ⅲ: LyΧ

LyΧ is an editor for LaTeΧ that resembles WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors like Microsoft Word or LibreOffice. This is achieved by employing HTML for screen output and LaTeΧ for printable formats. Thus the applicable LaTeΧ commands are limited to those for which a HTML complement is available. It is possible to input raw LaTeΧ code...
