Problem with pasting Math and Comments

Post by shakedro »

Hi,

I recently reinstalled LyX on my computer and since than when I try to copy text containing any special format: math equations, titles, comments - it just copies everything as plain text - meaning I get lines of jibberish which were once the commands inside the math equation. When I copy math it looks like the following:

Code: Select all

MM r=u_{1}a_{1}+u_{2}a_{2}\:,\: u_{1},u_{2}\in\mathbb{Z} 
instead of getting back into math form. Important to note, I work in Hebrew.

Does anyone know this problem and can help?
thanx a lot!

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

I am no expert in LyX, but..

Have you tried exporting it to PDF, then copying from the PDF file?
