Maybe LyX need chemistry mode similar to the math mode (with certainly less
options).
2008/7/23 Christopher Reeve [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I don't know about you, but I find having lots of ERTs in my document
distracting and a bit annoying!
My solution is similar but instead I use the math mode - that way I see the
actual symbol I typed...
eg, include the following line in your Preamble
\newcommand{\hho}{\text{H}_2\text{O}}
Then inside your document simply type Command-m (or Ctrl-m on a PC?) which
starts the equation editor
enter \hho as your equation and hit space a couple of times.
You should now have a nice compiled H20 to look at in your LyX document.
So that I can see for example the Angstrom symbol I type Command-m \text
space \AA Command-end (ie \text{\AA}) so that I actuall can see it rather
than an annoying ERT.
Chris.

I have a question about a seemingly simple thing that I can't figure
out how to get LyX to do: I am writing an article for a chemical
journal, so I am including a lot of chemical formulas. So I would like
to be able to type H2O and have the final output read with the 2 as a
subscript. The same way if I type LaTeX it prints pretty and
formatted. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
The mhchem package is rather convenient for typing chemical formulae and
reaction equations. The water molecule can be written as \ce{H2O}.

Re: replace text
Try this in the preamble:
\usepackage{fixltx2e}
\newcommand{\HHO}{H\textsubscript{2}O}
Then in your text, put \HHO{} in ERT.
/Paul
What happens when there are plenty of different formulas? Any clever way of
dealing with it?
Thanks,

If they are all chemical formulae, I suspect the package Nicolas Ferre'
recommended is the answer. If they are something else, and assuming you
use them frequently, I would suggest either putting them all in a text
file that you can \include in any document where you need them, or else
modify your layout file(s) to include them in the preamble (the former
being less work).
