Testing the patience of this group, I have a short term problem. Well, truth is I probably have several such short term problems, and I would appreciate help with each.
However, this problem is not with LyX directly, and though the various experts on this group will likely find motivation to answer the better questions, I am hoping that some of you will help me through an off-topic newbie problem. I need an italic *s* character which has a prime symbol above it. I have tried variations of \emph\skew9\acute s and \it\skew9\acute s and in no case have I found execution without error upon pdflatex or the proper result. At best, there are errors reported, and the output text is converted to italic after production of the desired < italic s' > symbol. Has anyone any idea as to the solution of this problem? William R.
