I'm using dmath for my equations, because it breaks lines automatically. I've been taught that if I have two formulae separated by an equal sign and they are on different lines then the equal sign should be present both at the end of the first line and at the beginning of the second one. (And it looks prettier, too, in my opinion.) dmath puts the equal sign only at the beginning of the second line. When I put two equal signs between the equaltions it breaks the line twice and the first equal sign ends up as a separate line. I suppose I could solve this problem by using equation instead of dmath and forcing line breaks but I like automatic line breaks. Is there any way to tell dmath to put the equal sign on both lines? (I also have the same problem with +, it appears only at the beginning of the second line.)

If I understand correctly what you're after, you can try the following in LyX to create your title:
- Add the title via the drop down menu.
- Write your main title. If you want a line break in the middle of it, hit Ctrl + Enter.
- Add some vertical space with Insert --> Formatting --> Vertical space. If you use Custom you can define the length yourself.
- Write the subtitle, again using Ctrl + Enter for a line break.
- Again, add some vertical space.
- Write "Masteroppgave".
- Select the subtitle and "Masteroppgave", right click the text, choose Text style --> Customized, set the size to Larger, and hit OK.
A working LaTeX example. I added some vertical space between the main title and the subtitle with \\[<length>]. As Barbara mentioned in the comments, \huge, \large etc. are switches, not commands that take an argument, so I removed the braces after those.
\documentclass[norsk,english,oldfontcommands]{memoir}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\begin{document}
\title{\huge <<Første linje av første tittel, \\
andre linje av hovedtittel>> \\[2cm]
\Large Første linje av undertittel,\\ og andre linje

An equation-oriented environment such as align* isn't well suited for the task at hand. Instead, consider using a table-like environment such as tabularx.
The following code uses the construct @{${}={}$} to insert a properly-spaced = symbol between the first and second column of the tabularx environment; the X column type, used for the second column, "wraps" its contents automatically as needed. The overall width of the table is set to 0.75\textwidth -- adjust this setting as you see fit.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabularx}{0.75\textwidth}{>{$}r<{$} @{${}={}$} X}
n &number of days in the support and resistance range; \\
e &used for an alternative definition of extrema where
a low (high) can be defined as the most recent closing
price that is less (greater) than the n previous closing
prices; \\
b &fixed band multiplicative value.\\
\end{tabularx}
\end{center}

One possible solution which gives both automatic line breaking, and equals signs and line numbers precisely where you want them, and also allows pagebreaks (which
dmathdoes not), is here:Any way to check with a macro if an equation is too long to fit into a single line?
The macros I posted there can handle up to 8 equations linked by equals signs.
