Deeeuuuuuuddddd!!!
That works perfectly. Unbelieveable!
It's the best of both worlds. The equations show up in LyX, but I can write
the equations in LaTeX, which I consider MUCH easier and more logical than
writing them using LyX features.
Before considering this challenge completely overcome, I need to perform a
dead end analysis on it to make sure that half way through the book I won't
find a horrible problem with it. I need to make sure that I can insert lines
of text, split the run of equations, add an equation and the like.
Also, I need a hotkey that does more of the work. I need to create a LyX
command script that inserts the \begin{align*} and \end{\align*}, as well as
inserting \\ at the end of each line.
Thanks for the innovative approach Enrico.
