Replacing long static table as floating

2024-01-02 Thread Rich Shepard
I've a document from 5 years ago that I'm revising. There is an 85 row long table in it that I would like to float (as a long table) rather than re-writing the whole table. Is there a way to do this? TIA, Rich -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org

2024-01-02 Thread Rich Shepard
I'm puzzled. In a document I display a series using \rightarrow to separate the components. When I compile the document it displays as in the attached mwe2.lyx file. When the string is by itself (mwe.lyx) it displays properly. I suspect it's a matter of spacing but I haven't figured out where.
