Thanks Jacob, that was helpful! I like that you point out the use of \mathrm. I “preach” to all students and everyone else who wants to hear (and to everyone else too ;-) that indices that are not variables should be roman. So for those who use LyX or LaTeX and write equations \mathrm is one of the best commands to know… Anders
