Re: String including \rightarrow works unless with other text

I'm puzzled. In a document I display a series using \rightarrow to separate the components. When I compile the document it displays as in the attached mwe2.lyx file. When the string is by itself (mwe.lyx) it displays properly.

I suspect it's a matter of spacing but I haven't figured out where.

Help's needed.

TIA,

Neither displays correctly for me. The issue is that you are inserting the arrow as LaTeX without invoking math mode (at least in mwe2; in mwe it's not even LaTeX). So the compiler guesses where to begin and end math mode, and it does not guess correctly. (Quoth the LaTeX log: "I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think

you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.")

The simple fix is to insert the arrows using math model (ctrl-M), as in the attached version of your second example.
