Hi, all...
Sorry to be posting here every day or so, but I've come across
something that does not seem to work as documented. (It doesn't seem to work
at all!) I read with interest the section in the User Guide on math macros.
It seemed to me that this would allow me to define a macro, say "msol", to save
me from having to type a lot when I want to insert the M-with-subscripted-odot
that represents a "solar mass". Ok, I defined the macro as directed, and went
into a math box and typed "\msol" and what I had defined showed up on-screen.
Fine, I was happy and went about my business -- until I got ready to look at
the results of placing a floating figure (didn't work; I get 50 errors every
time... I'll solve that one later), when I discovered that every time I
actually used that macro I get an error, "Undefined control sequence," telling
me the macro I defined way back at the beginning of the document is not
defined! :(
This happens no matter what I call the macro, or where in the document
I attempt to use it.
latex --version says:
TeX (Web2C 7.2) 3.14159
kpathsea version 3.2
LyX is version 1.0.1-1
Any clues?
Thanks,
---
