Hi Guys,
my name is Ansgar, I'm new to this list and I'm afraid to the topic as well (have already typed a couple of pages, though), so I got a question that might be a newbie-issue or slightly off topic, but anyway:
I want to include what I call special characters (don't know the english word for "Sonderzeichen" ;-) ) in my document. E.g. the little "r" with a circle around it, indicating "registered trademark", know what I mean? How am I supposed to achieve this in LyX?
I understand that I have to do it the same way I would in an ordindary text editor, say Kate, since I'm using KDE. But unfortunately I've got _no clue_ how I can do it with Kate as well. (Hm, this last sentence actually seems a bit ambiguous to me.... )
CTRL, SHFT, ALT, ALT GR -- they all don't work for me.
You need to click the "TeX" button and type in the LaTeX code for the character you want. In this case, it's
\textregistered
Some other useful ones are
\textcopyright (the C in a circle) \texttrademark (the TM sign)
You can get a complete list of LaTeX symbols by downloading the file http://jboeckx.dyndns.org/latex/docs/symbols-letter.pdf
