Hi,
I'm very used to writing math in plain latex. For me, this works much
easier than using the visual math editor. In lyx, I found out that I
could write a large formula in plain latex, then select it and click
the 'math mode' button and it would convert the formula to its
graphical equivalent, which is great. However, I haven't been able to
find out how I can change from the graphical display back to the latex
source again. This would be very useful, because then I could edit the
function in plain latex and toggle to graphical display again. Is this
possible in lyx?
If you don't like the math editor at all - consider
using ERT boxes instead. There you type your
math as $\alpha=1$ and it stays that way too.
If view->dvi is too slow (big document), consider using
the math editor to check formulas. Copy the formula out
from the ERT box, mark and hit ctrl+M to see if
everything is ok. Then backspace and delete the "test formula".
