When I make up a mathematics exam, I often need to insert a series of formulas inline but in displaystyle size (retaining the inline position). I know how to force this with \displaystyle or by selecting the _contents_ of an inline formula and choosing Insert > Math > Display formula, but is there a key binding or some other method that forces the displaystyle (with inline position) more quickly? In LyX/Mac?
Conversely, how does one take a displaystyle size (inline position) formula and convert it back to inline size?
Bruce,
I suspect that there may be found other ways, but a simple one is to open another math-mode box and copy the contents of the previous one to the new box. The displaystyle disappears as long as you have properly selected the material before copying it. Give it a try!
