If i'm at math mode at LyX and I want to add a TeX code, how can I do it?
This is possible?
i.e something like: \Ding{152}
(or code that is more then a symbol) in math mode.

Best Answer
In math mode just type the TeX code. Of course, you need to include used packages in the LaTeX Preamble. For example, in math mode
\rightarrow
+ space will produce ;if you put
\usepackage{stmaryrd}
into the LaTeX Preamble then you can typea\leftrightarrowtriangle b
. This results in or if "Tools > Preferences > Look&Feel > Instant Preview" is turned on then you will see after leaving math mode;furthermore, you can type
\def\a{\rightarrow}
and use\a
later on. (Be aware that copying and pasting the\def
-code will transform it into a\global\long\def
. This is the same as using "Insert > Math > Macro".)Overall, you can type probably every TeX code that can be used in math mode. You might find "View > View Source" helpful to check whether LyX understood correctly what you typed. (If you interrupt typing of
\ding{123}
it might come out as\ding\{123\}
.)
