RE: display in lyx fractions like $\frac{1}{3}$ ?

I think you can use the nicefrac command in the units package, e.g. \nicefrac{3}{4} will display ¾. You can activate the preview so that it's rendered as you type. Alexander Sklar -Original Message- From: Jeremy C. Reed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Lunes, 13 de Agosto de 2007 06:47
