Dear List, I'm trying to insert a (logical) formula, of the form: a,b,c if a,b,c - d - d I'm trying to do it using a fraction, but don't know how to get a double top line. Any ideas? Matt Lyx 1.3.5 on Linux fc3

If you select fraction then in the top box of the fraction select matrix and choose a 2x1 matrix then you get two lines on the top of the fraction. I also chose a 1x1 matrix on the bottom so the format is the same. The only draw back is that the bottom of the fraction is not left aligned. See

Thankyou for all the different ways. I am sure they all have a use somewhere depending on layout. Actually i guess i just needed to know how to move down a line in eqnarray as that is what i was trying to do Ctrl-enter should have guessed Thanks again Geoff On Fri, 8 Apr 2005, Angus Leeming
