quotes in mathmode?
I want to do, in mathmode,
Pr(``bigger'')
I tried
\Pr(\mbox{"bigger"}) using double quotes.
The quotes are absent when I veiw with dvi.
I tried
\Pr(\mbox{``bigger''})
but I can't get Lyx to "accept" the single left-hand `` quotes.
When I type them they don't show up at all. (Also absent from dvi
view--the right hand ones '' show up fine)
Please tell me what to do. Thanks!
I am using Lyx 1.0.0pre2

Re: quotes in mathmode?
AFAIU, mathed (the equation editor) does not re-enter in paragraph or LR mode
as TeX /LaTeX does, so that the keystrokes after \mbox are still in math
with the corresponding restrictions.
I don't really understand this.
However using \mbox{text} seems to work--looks like normal text, not
italic. The problem is just the quotes
Have you tried the math text mode (M-m m) instead of \mbox ?
Same problem.
Can't type `` or ".
So is this a bug in LyX?

No, the problem is that you may invoke in LaTeX any legal construct allowed in a mbox,
including re-entering math mode (that is quite useful if you write math \newcommands as
\newcommand{\myadot}{\mbox{$\dot{a}$}} to be able to use \myadot in math mode AND in
text mode).
With mathed, you don't need this anymore (have a look at the math macro mechanism)
because you can't re-enter in real text mode once you are in math mode.
Have you tried the math text mode (M-m m) instead of \mbox ?
Same problem.
Can't type `` or ".
The math text mode does not accept punctuation I guess.
So is this a bug in LyX?
That's a feature of mathed :-). There are counterparts: as I mentioned above
the math macro mechanism is very powerful.

Well someone on comp.text.tex told me that you can do it in LaTeX. I think
you are right and he is wrong.
I just tried editing the LyX file directly. It has
\begin_inset Formula
\[
\Pr(\mbox{``bigger''})=1-F[(c-s)/\sigma ]=F[(s-c)/\sigma ]\]
\end_inset
And it is still the same problem. The `` don't get printed.
Hmm. The LaTeX masters out there don't have a trick for me?
The only thing that occurs to me is to use a pair of \prime for for single
quotes.

Re: quotes in mathmode?
Hi J-P,
I guess I didn't understand what you wrote.
I thought you said that it was not possible to do Pr(``bigger'') in
mathmode in LaTeX. But I checked and it is possible:
--
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$\Pr(\mbox{``bigger''})=0.5$
\end{document}
-
This works no problem at all. (I actually want it as a numbered displayed
equation)
So I don't understand why I can't do this in LyX.
Thanks for any help!
