Remember, that you can use View>View_Source to find out the right LaTeX
command for a markup, so in the normal lyx window write
"e . Strg-Shift-Space g .", mark it and press Strg-E and copy the
LaTeX code from the source window to the Text before entry.

Or rather \emph{e.\,g.}, for that matter (to get better spacing).

formatting text within a bibtex citation
I use Lyx 1.5.2 on XP with bibtex to write academic papers. I sometimes want to cite a reference as an example of a point I am making using the Latin expression *e.g*.. What I am going for is something like the following. Many researchers have said "blah blah blah" (*e.g.* Smith, 2005). When I insert a citation into Lyx, using Insert>Citation I have the option of putting in "Text Before" to appear before the citation. This is great...but I want that text to be in italics. Any thoughts on how to make that happen? Do I have to modify the bibtex .sty file? If so I have no idea how to do this. Seems like a small thing...but I have an adviser who is a stickler for that formatting convention in particular! Thanks for any pointers, Andrew
