Yes you can avoid most of the complicated Latex math stuff by using LyX.. > In other words, do you go into math mode, or type in ERT mode? You go into math mode and then type latex math commands and hit a space and you should see the result of your latex commands immediately (in most cases).. for equations you can use one of the environments that are listed in Insert -> Math.. there are shorcuts to this too I believe.. > In math mode, the above code turns into LyX WYSIWYM math editing. > This is a problem because it is then impossible to see the text LateX > code underneath. I guess that was the intention so that one sees the content clearly and not the code.. but if you want to see the code then you can select the math stuff and paste into an ERT inset, i.e. do C-l and paste into the inset and all the code that went into the math that you selected will show.. hope this helps.. nirmal
