Could somebody please send me a .lyx example of a multi-line case equation? I get it fine within LyX but it does not seem to print okay. I get a "misplaced tab" character error when I enter text with \textrm in the case equation. -- myriam

Easier still: in a display environment, try Insert->Math->Cases environment, and use control-enter to add cases as needed. You still need to switch to textrm font for the "if"s (alt-m m or type ). -- Paul

Something that isn't supported? \sum \begin{Sb} x \leq 0 \\ y \leq x \end{Sb} André was playing with environment insets at one stage, but other things intruded. Babies. Life. -- Angus

Cool! Thanks. I did not ask the question, but I am sure I will have occasion to use stuff like this... Is there any documentation that goes over all the mysterious math stuff (like "\cases")? ---Kayvan On Wed, Apr 20, 2005 at 09:49:13AM +0100, Angus Leeming wrote: > Kayvan A.

Re: Case equations
Hi Myriam, You could also write in math-mode \cases and a space. With the use of Control + Enter you could control the number of lines in the case. Hope its helps.
