Dear All,
I am using LyX for some months with no problem whatsoever. I think it is a great tool and great fun. However, trying to educate myself, I found in the User Guide that there are macros and decided to try them. The fun is as follows: 1. I type in the minibuffer 'math-macro fun 1' and the macro box pops up as expected; 2. I type in the macro-box f(#1), but the actual source I get is f(\#1)! Afterwards the macro, of course, appears as 'f(#1)' even though the box seems to work. The only workaround I found is to copy and paste the #1 from the example in the User Guide. So, my question is does anybody know how to actually type # without the backslash. Apropos, I am now on LyX 1.5.2 (October 07) running on Windows XP. All the best, Milen Ivanov
