How to write degree symbol ° ?
I have big probems for entering a degree symbol as in 'cos 30°'. If entered as
such from the keyboard in TeX, it's not accepted. If entered in Lyx, it's
represented as '\lyxmathsym{\textdegree}', but when it comes to producing
output an error is the result.
The '\textdegree' alone seems not visible in the output. In some
places '\mbox{°}' is accepted, where the degree symbol is internally written
as \textdegree. It seems in fact that it is the 'lyxmathsym{}' which is not
understood in producing the output.
Sincerely,
Hubert

What, exactly, are you entering?

I simply use a ^\circ in math mode. This works well.
