Hello! Publications in physics mostly use a two-column format and I am recently trying to adopt this style for my private (equation-heavy) summaries as well. However, I found that for my workflow in two-column documents fast feedback about the layout of equations, especially their width with respect to column width, is essential.
In TeXStudio there is the preview feature, which on the fly while editing the equation provides a rendering, as it will appear in the document, but obviously TeXStudio lacks LyX's convenience in editing the equation. However, LyX's instant-preview feature (which by default is disabled for math) requires interrupting editing the equation, moving the cursor outside. Also, when the equation is too wide for the column, it will be cut off in the preview rather than showing the full misformatted equation (though this is actually positive for unnumbered equations). So I was wondering if I am missing a feature. Is there some on-the-fly preview of equations possible in LyX, while editing the equation? Currently my best guess is document preview with Ctrl+R (pdflatex), but this is still rather slow. regards, Klaus
