an easy solution:
in preamble
\def\Sb#1{%
\raisebox{-0.5ex}{\small #1}%

\def\Sp#1{%
\raisebox{0.9ex}{\small #1}%
}
and in text NO\Sb x

As LaTeX does have subscripts in math mode only, LyX fakes text
superscripts in math mode as well. One mihgt argue whether this is the
right thing to do, but it's the way it is.

Insert->SpecialChar->Subscript
When started from textmode, this gives you a math mode superscript with the
text cell already "switched back" to text mode

Subscript text...
I want to write a chemical equation, ( i.e. NO_x )
But I don't want the text in math-mode font...
Is there an easier way to get text to be subscript than to type:
NO**mathmode _\text{x} **
???this looks messy in lyx - surely there's a superscript for non-math mode
..asked by a friend who's not in the newsgroup...
