optional arguments in math. how to?
Hello,
I've just been trying use the command \xrightarrow with it optional
argument, e.g.
\[ leftside \xright[down]{up} rightside \]
Is it possible to do this (and in general use optional arguments in
math/display mode)? I've tried writing it as regular text (without the
\[ and \]) and turning it to a math/display mode. I've also tried to
insert it manually in the .lyx file, but to no avail.
I did manage to use it in an ERT box, but I would rather not write the
whole equation that way.
If it is indeed imposible, might it be better if there was an option
within math mode to enter pure latex, without Lyx helping in the
middle. Something like the ERT box in the regular text. I think (if I
remember correctly) that it was possible in earlier version 1.1.6 (or so).
Thanks for any help,
Amir.
P.S.
I'm using Lyx 1.2.1 (Xforms)

Brr... I think it should work there, too, but I've not checked.
Especially the native xrightarrow support might be a 1.3.x feature.

In LyX 1.3.x, you type \xrightarrow and then press space.
Then, you can edit both arguments.

You should upgrade to the latest version.
Re: optional arguments in math. how to?
Thanks for the quick answer \xrightarrow is supported 'natively'. Just make sure to enable AMS. The problem is the optional argument, not just using \xrightarrow If it is indeed imposible, might it be better if there was an option within math mode to enter pure latex, without Lyx helping in the middle. Even that work. No it doesn't (for me), the moment I press [ to start the optional argument I'm out of LaTeX mode and into LyX's math mode. I would like something in which LyX will not interfere (like in the ERT box in plain text after pressing ctrl-L) - This should be used only for special cases. The use of \ to turn on math-mode is good (and much more convenient) for 99.99% of the cases. I'm using Lyx 1.2.1 (Xforms) Brr... I think it should work there, too, but I've not checked. Especially the native xrightarrow support might be a 1.3.x feature. Not the optional argument (just the text above the arrow). Thanks again, Amir. P.S. 1.3.x is not exactly an option, I would like to have compatibilty with the university computer.
