Not with unicode-insert. I suppose we should fix that and allow multiple
characters, as will self-insert. If you file a bug report about that, I
expect it can be fixed quite quickly.

But note that you can do things like:
    self-insert ຄໆໆ
where the Unicode characters are just given explicity.

There was a bug in the installer so that existing 64bit MiKTeX 
installations were not detected.


Meanwhile I released version 6:
http://ftp.lyx.de/LyXWinInstaller/LyX2.3.0/
that has improvements for users installing LyX the first time on a PC. 
There were some bugs in the MiKTeX installer that are now fixed. The LyX 
bundle installer bundles this new installer.


Users having already LyX 2.3.0 installer can ignore this new installer 
version.

Hello

So I've read "Using LyX to Display Phonetic Characters (IPA)" 
(https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LinguistLyX#toc4) specifically about the 
different ways of entering glyphs, etc. with the IPA inset but what 
still isn't clear to me is how I enter a code point like 0x0298 directly 
using the IPA inset (bilabial click that appears second on the left on 
the main IPA toolbar). Is there a way to do this?  Also is there a way 
to enter more than one at the same time in the same inset?


I wasn't sure whether I should post this here or on lyx-devel. I 
previously posted it to lyx-devel on the 17th.


Thanks very much in advance for any help

Mike

I think the reason for the problem Frank reported is that LaTeX discards
leading space in some cases. So, if you just put a horizontal fill, with
nothing
ahead of it, LaTeX ignores it. The solution is to "protect" this space.
There's
a checkbox for that in the dialog. Note that this will work if you just
use a
linebreak instead of a new paragraph.

I believe there are open enhancement requests about this. There really
should be a way
to do it in the case of math. I don't even think it would be that
difficult. We have the LaTeX
code. We just need a way to say "Display that, instead of the WYSIWYM
stuff". Unfortunately,
I do not know my way around the math code nearly well enough to do this.

Maybe another option would be for us to extend the "external editor"
model to math insets.
I believe we will soon have the ability to open ERT with an external
editor, for cases where
the ERT is fairly complex.

RE: Change Latex Math Code

[Baris Erkus]

Ok. I was wondering if it was possible to do it from within LyX, without 
editing the LyX file. I guess, it is not possible.

Editing LyX file is fine, but it would have been really nice if it had the 
capability of making minor changes to the TeX code.

Thanks for the replies.

Yes, but not (I think) within LyX. Instead, open the .lyx file in your favorite 
text editor, make the change and save it. If you do this while LyX is open (at 
least LyX 2.3.0; I haven't tried it with earlier versions), LyX will warn you 
that the document changed and ask if you want to reload it.

If you are not sure exactly what you are looking for in the text editor, you 
can open the preview pane (View > Code Preview Pane in 2.3.0; I think this

RE: Change Latex Math Code

[Baris Erkus]

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Well, of course I can write \dfrac from scratch, but I do not want to do that.

I want  to modify an existing math equation in text model.

In LyX, I can modify an existing equation in WYSIWYG mode, but I do not know 
how to modify an equation by modifying the Latex code directly.

Did you try entering \dfrac while in math mode?  It works for me.

I got the same message, but not because LyX set the converter that way. 
I made that change years ago. When you install LyX, it inherits 
preferences from your existing personal LyX directory (~/.lyx), at least 
on Linux. (I'm not sure if this applies on Windows.) So you probably 
added the shell escape at some point in the past, and it just carried over.

Thanks. I have used Lyx for so long that it is entirely possible I did 
this but can't think why!!


If it is not a problem with Lyx but with me then an easy fix.

Many thanks
