I'm used to using the unfortuately-named ERT so I added the $ where needed and that did the trick.

You and Paul pointed out that totally spaced using mathmode. Adding the '$' was easier than inline math.

On Tue, 2 Jan 2024, Paul Rubin wrote: Neither displays correctly for me. The issue is that you are inserting the arrow as LaTeX without invoking math mode (at least in mwe2; in mwe it's not even LaTeX). So the compiler guesses where to begin and end math mode, and it does not guess correctly. (Quoth the LaTeX log: "I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.") The simple fix is to insert the arrows using math model (ctrl-M), as in the attached version of your second example. Paul, I saw that but missed the point that I needed to use math mode rather than plain LaTeX/ERT.
