What I suggested was a sort of "hum ... silly, I forget the math delimiters" automatic correction, which action is to default to the $ delimiters when no delimiters are found. This way the user ... me ;-) avoids one error (actually I recently forget 3 or 4 times the math delimiters when writting some short titles, maybe because they are boxed in red). -- Dr. Nicolas Ferre' Laboratoire de Chimie Theorique et de Modelisation Moleculaire UMR 6517 - CNRS Universite' de Provence Case 521 - Faculte' de Saint-Jerome Av.

Because that is the proper way to do it. ;-) What you can do is define a new bind that places the $'s for you there. Not as difficult as it can be done for 1.3.5. :-) > -- > Dr. Nicolas Ferre' > Laboratoire de Chimie Theorique et de Modelisation Moleculaire > UMR 6517 - CNRS Universite' de Provence > Case 521 - Faculte' de Saint-Jerome > Av.

LaTeX/LyX math
Hi, A little wish about math. There are two ways for entering math: open a math environment and type in it or write a latex formula, select it and convert it in math using C-m for instance. But the last needs to explicitely write the $ around the latex formula. If the $ are forgotten, lyx converts the formula to text even if there is a math symbol (beginning with \) in the formula. Could it be possible to automatically add the $ around the latex formula when transforming it in math and a \ is detected in it ? I know the backslash is rather common in latex ;-) but we can assume that each time a latex formula must be converted in math, all latex symbols in the formula are math symbols. But maybe I miss a good reason for always needing the $ ? -- Dr. Nicolas Ferre' Laboratoire de Chimie Theorique et de Modelisation Moleculaire UMR 6517 - CNRS Universite' de Provence Case 521 - Faculte' de Saint-Jerome Av.
