Installing cocoAspell worked. Great.
I badly need spell checking for my typing. LyX relies on aspell,
which I don't have. I went to the aspell web page and

There is a more direct solution. In Finder you can select
GoGo To Folder (or shift-command-G). Then you can type

You can then change the
access privileges for aspell.conf.

Is there any way to search and replace in equations in LyX?
Say I want to replace x with y in all my equations. Or

is there any plans to implement this?

A sequence of multiple buffer exports works in 2.3.0 -- they did not do so in

It seems to me that LyX 2.3 sets fractions slightly too low compared to the
baseline when entering equations. Of course once they are typeset, they move to
the correct position. But in the math input mode it's almost as though
fractions are in subscript mode. Anyone else noticed?
Yes, I can see it. The issue is that the \pi in math input mode is smaller than
the \pi in latex, which makes it look unbalanced in math input mode. Probably
nothing to do about that.

LaTeX is great when you write for a medium

style file to use. Then you just fill out the
contents.

You should be able to do this with the titlesec package.

\titlelabel{\thetitle.\quad}"
My experience is that trying to change the section labels
manually gives headaches.
