Re: Re[2]: angstrom symbol in math mode
Sorry I think I wasn't clear in my earlier post
I did try the mbox function and it works fine.
I would like to figure out what the problem is with the math parser's
handling of the textrm function and possibly add something like \rho
or \pi for \AA to the math parser so that it is easier to use that symbol.
thanks again for everybody's help/interest!

I've just tried the mbox method (i must have missed it before)
this seems stable across saves and reopening
the saved version looks like this
\begin_inset Formula \( \Delta vol=\frac{4\pi }{3}\left(
r_{pH2}-r_{pH7}\right) ^{3}=\frac{4\pi }{3}\left( 17.87\mbox {\AA
}-16.03\mbox {\AA }\right) ^{3}=\frac{4\pi }{3}*6.263\mbox {\AA
}^{3}=26.24\mbox {\AA }^{3} \)
Well that puts my homework out the door but doesn't explain this textrm
problem (I think its save to say its a problem with textrm since the mbox
method works).
Thanks for the workaround!
I think my goal is now two fold
1) figure out what this textrm is all about and why it gets funky on save and
reopen
2) add something like \rho or \pi for \AA to the math mode so that we don't
have to enter another mode to get this symbol (and maybe others?)
Thanks again for all your kind help and suggestions for how to get this
working.

Re: angstrom symbol in math mode
Thanks for everybody's input here.
Sounds like I'll have to take a gander at the source to see what the problem
is.
Lyx is 1.1.5fix2
\AA{} does not work
{\AA} does not work
only
textrm{\AA} seems to have any function at all
let me know if you all come up with anything in the meantime

okay so that worked very nicely for a minute - then i saved the file and
tried to re-open it.
Unfortunately lyx comes up with
Line ~116: Math parse error: Expected {. Maybe you forgot to enclose an
argument in {}
Line ~116: Math parse error: Unmatching braces
Math Panic, expect problems!
(that is re-typed so any typos are mine)
bummer
so I started munging about in the relevant section now it consistenly saves
as this
\begin_inset Formula \( \Delta vol=\frac{4\pi }{3}abs\left(
r_{pH2}-r_{pH7}\right) ^{3}=\frac{4\pi }{3}\left( 17.87\textrm{ }\AA
-16.03\textrm{ }\AA \textrm{ }\right) ^{3}=\frac{4\pi }{3}*6.263\textrm{ }\AA
\textrm{ }^{3}=26.24\textrm{ }\AA \textrm{ }^{3} \)
\end_inset
yes those \AAs were inside the {} before
and there was only one \textrm section per \AA
If I fix this in a text editor to
\begin_inset Formula \( \Delta vol=\frac{4\pi }{3}abs\left(
r_{pH2}-r_{pH7}\right) ^{3}=\frac{4\pi }{3}\left( 17.87\textrm{ \AA
}-16.03\textrm{ \AA }\right) ^{3}=\frac{4\pi }{3}*6.263\textrm{ \AA
}^{3}=26.24\textrm{ \AA }^{3} \)
\end_inset
it just reverts back with the next save (and no angstrom symbols are
displayed in dvi viewer (just spaces)
To re-interate
I can create a formula containging angstrom symbols which look fine in a dvi
viewer until i close and re-open the file.
After this happens I get the error mentioned above
In trying to correct the error i lose the angstrom symbols and something
funny happens when lyx saves the \textrm sections
does \AA not count as an argument?
thanks for any suggestions for how to resolve this issue.

thanks!
that \textrm works great
what is the acronym (what does rm standfor?)

angstrom symbol in math mode
I'm not able to get \AA to work in math mode (works fine in normal mode) No error - it just display nothing in the DVI. Any suggestions? thanks! brad
