Getting out of Math Mode

Post by fibonacci2 »

Hi guys! :)
I don't understand how I can "get out of math mode".
For instance I write (as normal text) c_4, then I right select and I choose
Insert -> Math -> Inline formula
so that I obtain c with subscript 4 (a mathematical formula).
How could I get the original (normal text) c_4?
Of course without using undo function!
Is there a function like "cancel math mode"/"cancel mathematical formula" to turn into the text present in a mathematical formula in normal text?

Thanks

Getting out of Math Mode

In the case that I want to tag parts of text in an editor or I want this text to appear in a certain style, I always mark it before and then select the desired action. Perhaps the same procedure will do here also.

Since I'm not a LyX user, the above suggestion only represents an idea and therefore comes with no warranty for functionality. I can't neither offer further support with adding code into LyX nor with doing additional settings.

Thanks to everybody for the answers!

However I decided to use Lyx no more! I tried it for some days and it looked like a good product but for me has a big limitation: it's not possible modify the Latex source! (of course you can generate Latex source, modify it and import it... but it's not what I wish!)

Hi,

so perhaps come round to here again, when you have LaTeX questions, if you would like.

Sure! ;)

Actually I'm not using lyx but I'm using Latex anyway!
