Oh, thanks. Is the "and" in the second screenshot typed with the \intertext
command or are theire two seperate math mode environments?

I know that. And i want to have the same possibility in the math mode.
The \\[2em] was just an example (I need it some times ago in an array
environment to correct the vertical spacing).
I want to insert _arbitrary_ latex commands in the math mode. Otherwise
I must type my equations in a latex-ERT box.
Here is an other example.
\documentclass[a4paper]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{mathpazo}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
This
\begin{align*}
f(z) & :=z^{2}\\
\intertext{with the substitution $z=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$} & =x^2+y^2
\end{align*}
is important.
\end{document}
How would you input the \intertext command with lyx? I started with
"\intertext "
"\{with "
and now I am out of the brackets. An other problem is the local math mode
in $z=...$.
Thanks,
Friedrich
