Cases environment
In a display-equation environment I can't get the cases environment to
work properly, unless I just use the first column.
I get the error:
Misplaced alignment tab character .
s
s\end{cases}$
I can't figure out why you would want to use a tab mark
here. If you just want an ampersand, the remedy is
simple: Just type `I\' now. But if some right brace
up above has ended a previous alignment prematurely,
you're probably due for more error messages, and you
might try typing `S' now just to see what is salvageable.
Furthermore, if I just use the left column, then it is displayed all on
one line.
Has someone got this to do anything useful?

Just tick that, unless you have some reason not to do so.

Reversed cases environment
Dear All, Is it possible to produce something like the cases environment does, but with the bracket on the opposite side? (Please, see the attached example.) Thanks in advance, Paul attachment: example.png
Re: Reversed cases environment
Yup, you can: 1- Add a math environment 2- Press the Insert delimiters button. 3- Click on the Keep matched checkbox. 4- Click on the (none) delimiter on the left side and the } on the right side. 5- Click on the Insert button. 6- Click on the Close button. 7- Click on the Insert matrix button. 8- Fix the numbers of rows to 2 and the numbers of columns to 1. 9- Fix the horizontal alignment to l (that' for left). 10- Click on the OK button. 11- Insert your equations.

cases environment does not exist in the default document style.
I start lyx, create a new document, insert math-cases environment, view
dvi. I get two ERRORS!
This is because the default document style article does not have
amsmath. The solution is either adding
\usepackage{amsmath}
in the preamble or using another document style like article(AMS).
This is not a big prolem but it would be better to avoid this kind of
problem by adding amsmath to the default style.
Thanks.
