Re: Unsupported math environments

The mathtools pack defines the corresponding inner multlined environment, and it seems that there is no way to use it other than ERTing the math input (see attached file). I guess the same tweak can be applied in order to use the other new environments defined by mathtools, such as dcases, rcases, drcases, psmallmatrix, bsmallmatrix, etc. Unfortunately it is not possible to use unsupported math environments in LyX without putting the whole formula in ERT or do some advanced macro tricks. The reason for this is that the native LyX format for math formulas is LaTeX. This is implemented in such a way that _everything_ is parsed, so it is not possible to have a true ERT in mathed. The parser supports unknown commands somewhat (so they appear in red), but not environments. This is of course a problem and needs to be fixed, but up to now nobody worked on it. If it does not exist already please file a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome to support unknown environments in math. Georg
