One way to create this is to write text _not_ surrounded by $...$, mark it, and press C-m. This is slightly different from 1.2.x where it didn't matter whether you used $...$ or not. The corresponding 'guessing logic' was broken, though (created a mess with $ in \mboxes), so I dropped it at some point of time. Nowadays you need at least the initial $ (or \( or \[ for displayed math) to convert it to 'real' math, everything else gets converted to some kind of 'math text'. [And for the curious: Yes, that means we have had the possibility to create 'real' 'WYSIWYM' text mode macros for quite some while now. However, as the macro facility needs a general face lift, I refrained from advertising this (too much)...] Andre'
