Hello,
I am writing a draft for an article and I am still unsure about the names of some variables I am going to use in my final version. In order to handle this situation, in LaTeX I would define
\newcommand{\ntx}{N_T}
\newcommand{\nrx}{N_R}and then use \ntx and \nrx in my formulas whenever needed. If I later decide to use M_T instead of N_T, I can just redefine \ntx correspondingly without replacing all occurrencies in the document.
I can do the same in LyX, by adding the commands above to the document header or as LaTeX code within the document body.
The point is that if I enter math mode and type \ntx\sigma\nrx , LyX will replace the LaTeX standard \sigma command with the Greek character, but not my custom-defined symbols, which will only appear with their command names in red. This makes my formulas almost as unreadable as if they were written in plain LaTeX!
Is there a way to make LyX replace my commands as well, as it does with the standard LaTeX ones?
Thanks for your suggestions
D.
