Hi, LyXers
I have been using LyX now for more than a year and a half on an
everyday basis. I feel that some little subtle things could be
improved in math mode, and today (after some reflections) I have
decided to share my views with you regarding one particular aspect.
When you are writing in math mode you use attributes such as bold to
convey information. Many people, as it is my case, use bold letters
to mean that the particular mathematical object has a vectorial
nature. There is no relationship between the vectorial nature of the
letter a and it's subscript. BUT when one continues writing in
subscript-level, it maintains the bold attribute given to the
"parent" character. In a vast majority of cases this is absolutely
unintended, and slows down mathematical writing a lot (i.e. going
back to make the subscript again "normal").
I wish this behavior (appearing up to LyX 1.1.6cvs) was eliminated
or, if someone has something in favor of it, at least user-selectable.
Greets,
