Colleagues,
Is there a recommended method to insert a glyph for a blackboard (or
blackboard-bold) 1?
I've tried \mathbb in math-mode, but then when I insert "1", I instead
get a \mathbb{1}.
I'd like to follow convention and use this to denote the "indicator
function."
For example, see the attached results where either are acceptable to me.
Thank you,
Joel
I don't know about "recommended", but this works for me:
1. Install the bbm package.
2. In the preamble, add \usepackage{bbm}.
3. In the math inset, type \mathbbm, then \{ to get an inset for the
argument, and type 1 for the argument. LyX does not recognize \mathbbm
as a math command, so it won't appear on the toolbars and LyX won't
autocomplete the command for you while typing.
