confusion: interword spacing vs. unbreakble space

2005-09-06 Thread David Soukal
Hello all, I'm very confused about how to properly create an interword space. In LaTeX the standard way is to use \ for an interword space and \@ for the end-of-sentence spacing after punctuation. I was used to typing bla, e.g.\ bla to get the proper spacing (i.e. interword spacing).

You can do this for mathed but not for the rest of LyX. Eg, typing as normal text $a=b+c$ (without quotes), highlighting the block and selecting Insert-Math-Display Formula will convert the code into a mathed inset. Still it would be great, if it were possible to do that with any text.
