Re: Layout for sport book

Simple question - howto enter macro w/args
I want to enter the latex command: \unit[N]{symbols} in mathed. How do I do
it?
Simply typing this in doesn't work. The '{' is interpreted as a literal
brace insertion, not as an arg to the \unit macro.
Re: Simple question - howto enter macro w/args
In Lyx 1.3.x, you can do this by typing \[ and then \{. Oddly
enough, escaping them yourself makes Lyx not escape them!

comment box?
I updated from 1.3.x to 1.4.1. 1) My document has many Comments. Now I see these are all closed. How can I have all the comments opened so I can read them easily without clicking through them one at a time? 2) When I click on one comment box and then scroll away and then click on another comment box, then it jumps me back to the previous comment I was looking at. My work-around is to click on some regular text content around it first. This is inconvenient. Same problem with Note. 3) Same as with lyx 1.3.x when I export to plain text, my comments are in the text file. I don't want this. When exporting to DVI, PS, PDF my comments are not included (like I expect). But now I see that printing to plain text, a Note is not included. 4) Should I be using Notes instead of comments? 5) I don't see Comment in my drop-down list of paragraph environments anymore. I used it to comment out text that I want to hide in my books (and why I thought it should not be exported in plain text output -- but maybe I misunderstood this). Jeremy C. Reed p.s. If you are a pkgsrc or NetBSD or DragonFly user, I will be updating the package for this soon. My package includes a patch to stop the core dump at exit time. I don't know why my patch for this has never been considered yet. It also core dumps on exit in DragonFly operating system too.
