The explanations are designed for the usage of commands. It is therefore required that you have read the section \family typewriter Mathematical \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Formulas \family default of the User's Guide. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Most of the characters and many constructs explained in this manual are also accessible via the menu \family sans Insert \series bold \SpecialChar menuseparator \series default Math \family default or the \family sans math \family default \series bold \family sans \series default toolbar \family default . But everybody who has to write lots of formulas will notice that it is much faster to use commands instead of the math toolbar. Therefore this manual is focused on commands but also mentions the correspondin g toolbar buttons when available. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If not specially mentioned the commands are only available within formulas. To be able to use all commands explained in this document, the option \family sans Use AMS math package \family default must be checked in the document settings (menu \family sans Document\SpecialChar menuseparator Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator Math \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Options \family default ). \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout The option \family sans Use AMS math package automatically \family default only uses \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash AmS \end_layout \end_inset -math when math constructs are found that are supported by \SpecialChar LyX . \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This document doesn't list all \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash AmS \end_layout \end_inset -math commands \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout A list with all \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash AmS \end_layout \end_inset -math commands is in the file \family sans \begin_inset CommandInset href LatexCommand href name "amsguide.ps" target "ftp://ftp.ams.org/pub/tex/doc/amstex/amsguide.pdf" \end_inset \family default , which is part of every \SpecialChar LaTeX standard installation. \end_layout \end_inset for lucidity reasons. \end_layout \begin_layout Section General Instructions \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To create an inline formula \begin_inset Index idx status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Formula ! inline \end_layout \end_inset that is embedded into a text line, use one of the shortcuts \begin_inset Info type "shortcuts" arg "math-mode" \end_inset or the toolbar button \begin_inset Info type "icon" arg "math-mode" \end_inset . \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset To create a display style formula \begin_inset Index idx status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Formula ! display style \end_layout \end_inset which will appear bigger, has a different format, and will be in a separate paragraph, use one of these shortcuts: \begin_inset Info type "shortcuts" arg "math-display" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To change a display style formula to an inline formula, set the cursor into the formula and use one of the shortcuts \begin_inset Info type "shortcuts" arg "math-mode" \end_inset or the menu \family sans Edit\SpecialChar menuseparator Math\SpecialChar menuseparator Change formula type \family default . The same way is used to change an inline formula to a display style formula. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To display parts of an inline formula in the size of a display style formula, enter the command \series bold \backslash displaystyle \series default \begin_inset Index idx status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Commands ! D ! \backslash displaystyle \end_layout \end_inset to a formula. Then a new blue box appears in which the desired formula part is inserted. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Only inline formulas are allowed inside tables. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The \family sans math toolbar \family default can be turned on in the menu \family sans View\SpecialChar menuseparator Toolbars \family default . When you click there on \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Math \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset the toolbar will be shown permanently at the bottom; this state is visualized in the \family sans Toolbars \family default menu with a checkmark. When you click in this state again on \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Math \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset in the \family sans Toolbars \family default menu, the \family sans math toolbar \family default is only shown when the cursor is within a formula; this state is visualized by the renaming of the menu entry from \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Math \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset to \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Math \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (auto) \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The \SpecialChar TeX mode \begin_inset Index idx status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout T@\SpecialChar TeX -mode \end_layout \end_inset is invoked by pressing the toolbar button \begin_inset Info type "icon" arg "ert-insert" \end_inset or by using the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator TeX Code \family default (shortcut \begin_inset Info type "shortcut" arg "ert-insert" \end_inset ). \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To change the \SpecialChar LaTeX -preamble \begin_inset Index idx status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout L@\SpecialChar LaTeX -preamble \end_layout \end_inset , use the menu \family sans Document\SpecialChar menuseparator Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator LaTeX \family default \family sans Preamble \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To edit matrices, case differentiations and multiline formulas subsequently, use the menus \family sans Edit\SpecialChar menuseparator Math \family default and \family sans Edit\SpecialChar menuseparator Rows \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset & \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset Columns, \family default or the \family sans table toolbar \family default . When lines and columns are swapped via the menu, the column or line where the cursor is in is exchanged with the column to the right or the line below, respectively. Is the cursor in the last column or row, the exchange is done with the column to the left or the line above. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To write text in formulas \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout For multiline formulas the command \series bold \backslash intertext \series default is used, see \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "subsec:Text-in-multiline" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset \emph on mathematical text \emph default \begin_inset Index idx status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Text ! in formulas \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Index idx status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Mathematical text \end_layout \end_inset is used.

T ! \backslash text \end_layout \end_inset . The text appears black in \SpecialChar LyX and can therefore be distinguished from the other formula parts which appear blue. In the output mathematical text is set upright, in contrary to other formula parts. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection* Command Scheme \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Most of the \SpecialChar LaTeX -commands for math constructs have the following scheme: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash commandname[optional \series default \series bold argument]{required \series default \series bold argument} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard A command always starts with a backslash \begin_inset Quotes gld \end_inset \series bold \backslash \series default \begin_inset Quotes grd \end_inset . To omit optional arguments, also omit the associated brackets. The braces around the required arguments are named in this document as \SpecialChar TeX braces \begin_inset Index idx status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout T@\SpecialChar TeX -braces \end_layout \end_inset . If you add in a formula a left brace to a command name, \SpecialChar LyX automatically creates a \SpecialChar TeX brace. In all other cases \SpecialChar TeX braces are created in formulas with the command \series bold \backslash { \series default . \SpecialChar TeX braces appear red in \SpecialChar LyX , in contrary to normal braces which appear blue. In \SpecialChar TeX mode no command is needed to get \SpecialChar TeX braces. \SpecialChar TeX braces don't appear in the output. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard When commands without arguments, like commands for symbols are entered in \SpecialChar TeX mode, a space character must \emph on always \emph default be behind the command to end it. This space doesn't appear in the output. When the space should appear in the output, the space must be followed by a protected space in normal text. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard A protected space is inserted with \begin_inset Info type "shortcuts" arg "command-alternatives space-insert protected ; math-space" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection* \begin_inset Newpage newpage \end_inset Syntax Explanation \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize The symbol \begin_inset space \textvisiblespace{} \end_inset denotes a space character to be input. \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize An arrow like \begin_inset Formula $\to$ \end_inset denotes the usage of the corresponding arrow key on the keyboard. The \family sans Tab \family default key can often be used instead of \begin_inset Formula $\to$ \end_inset and \begin_inset Formula $\downarrow$ \end_inset , and \family sans Shift+Tab \family

They can be inserted via the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator Math \family default or by using the commands described in this section. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The first three have the same properties as the corresponding multiline formula environments, but it is possible to set further formula parts beside them. An example: \begin_inset Formula \[ \left.\begin{aligned}\Delta x\Delta p & \ge\frac{\hbar}{2}\\ \Delta E\Delta t & \ge\frac{\hbar}{2} \end{aligned} \right\} \textrm{Uncertainty relations} \] \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To get this formula, a displayed formula is created where the command \series bold \backslash aligned \series default \begin_inset Index idx status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Commands ! A ! \backslash aligned \end_layout \end_inset is inserted. A purple box appears around the blue formula box where now columns and lines can be added. Outside the multiline environment other formula parts can be set, like the brace. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The aligned environment is also suitable for long formulas whose lines are horizontally aligned. Using aligned in a displayed formula has the advantage that the formula number is vertically centered behind the lines. As example formula \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:shortlong" \end_inset in the aligned environment: \begin_inset Formula \begin{equation} \begin{aligned}H=\; & W_{SB}+W_{mv}+W_{D}-\frac{\hbar^{2}}{2m_{0}}\Delta-\frac{\hbar^{2}}{2m_{1}}\Delta_{1}-\frac{\hbar^{2}}{2m_{2}}\Delta_{2}-\frac{e^{2}}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{R}_{1}|}\\ & -\hspace{3pt}\frac{e^{2}}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{R}_{2}|}+\frac{e^{2}}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}|\mathbf{R}_{1}-\mathbf{R}_{2}|} \end{aligned} \end{equation} \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To use the environments \series bold alignedat \series default , \series bold gathered \series default , or \series bold split \series default , the command \series bold \backslash alignedat \series default , \begin_inset Index idx status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Commands !

To do this, the command \series bold \backslash intertext \series default \begin_inset Index idx status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Commands ! I ! \backslash intertext \end_layout \end_inset is used in the following scheme: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash intertext{text} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The text should not be longer than a line because it cannot be hyphenated. As \SpecialChar LyX doesn't yet support \series bold \backslash intertext \series default directly, the text is written as mathematical text. \series bold \backslash intertext \series default must hereby be at the beginning of a line and appears in the output above this line. An example where the text was inserted at the beginning of the second line: \begin_inset Formula \begin{align} I & =a\sqrt{2}\int_{0}^{2\pi}\sqrt{1+\cos(\phi)}\;\mathrm{d}\phi\\ \intertext{\text{integrand is symmetric to \ensuremath{\phi=\pi}, therefore}} & =2a\sqrt{2}\int_{0}^{\pi}\sqrt{1+\cos(\phi)}\;\mathrm{d}\phi \end{align} \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash intertext \series default always creates some vertical space between the text and the formula lines.

Math macros \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Index idx status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Macros \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard User-defined commands are especially convenient for complex expressions. When you are for example dealing with a document that has quadratic equations, the same solution type occurs several times. The general form of a quadratic equation is \begin_inset Formula \[ 0=\lambda^{2}+p\lambda+q \] \end_inset The general form of the solution is \begin_inset Formula \[ \lambda_{1,2}=-\frac{p}{2}\pm\sqrt{\frac{p²}{4}-q} \] \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To define a command for the solution formula where only the three parameters \begin_inset Formula $\lambda$ \end_inset , \begin_inset Formula $p$ \end_inset and \begin_inset Formula $q$ \end_inset need to be specified and the index of \begin_inset Formula $\lambda$ \end_inset can be given optionally, the \SpecialChar LaTeX -preamble line is \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \series bold \backslash newcommand{ \backslash qG}[4][1, \backslash ,2]{#2_{#1}=- \backslash frac{#3}{2} \backslash pm \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \begin_inset Phantom HPhantom status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \series bold \backslash newcommand \end_layout \end_inset \backslash sqrt{ \backslash frac{#3^{2}}{4}-#4}} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To create with this the solution formula, the command \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \series bold \backslash qG{ \backslash lambda \begin_inset Formula $\to$ \end_inset \backslash {p \begin_inset Formula $\to$ \end_inset \backslash {q \series default is inserted to a formula \series bold . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The definition of the new command is unintuitive because one has to know the schemes of all used \SpecialChar LaTeX commands, e. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset g. \begin_inset space \space{} \end_inset that a fraction is inserted in \SpecialChar LaTeX as \series bold \backslash frac{numerator}{denominator} \series default . Furthermore one can easily forget a brace in the definition and cannot see in \SpecialChar LyX what the new command is doing. To avoid these problems \SpecialChar LyX offers the possibility to use math macros instead of the command \series bold \backslash newcommand \series default . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard A math macro is created by using the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator Math\SpecialChar menuseparator Macro \family default or the toolbar button \begin_inset Info type "icon" arg "math-macro newmacroname_newcommand" \end_inset . The math macro toolbar appears together with the following box where the macro is defined: \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \begin_inset space \hspace*{\fill} \end_inset \begin_inset Graphics filename clipart/macrobox.png scale 95 \end_inset \begin_inset space \hspace*{\fill} \end_inset \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \begin_inset FormulaMacro \newcommand{\qG}[4][1,\,2]{#2_{#1}=-\frac{#3}{2}\pm\sqrt{\frac{#3^{2}}{4}-#4}} \end_inset \backslash newmacroname is the default name of the macro that should be changed to something sensible. The wanted formula is inserted in the first blue box. An argument placeholder is inserted with the command \series bold \backslash #argumentnumber \series default , e. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset g \begin_inset space \space{} \end_inset \series bold \backslash #1 \series default or by using the macro toolbar button \begin_inset Info type "icon" arg "math-macro-add-param" \end_inset . Argument placeholders are displayed red. A maximum of 9 \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset arguments are possible. Optional arguments are created with the toolbar button \begin_inset Info type "icon" arg "math-macro-add-optional-param" \end_inset . The first non-optional argument can be transformed to an optional one with the toolbar button \begin_inset Info type "icon" arg "math-macro-make-optional" \end_inset . In the second blue box the appearance of the macro in \SpecialChar LyX can be defined. Normally you want to see it as it is defined, so the box is kept empty. But when you have created a macro that needs lot of space on the screen, you can insert in the box for example \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \series bold qG: \backslash #1 \series default \series bold , \series default \series bold \backslash #2 \series default \series bold , \series default \series bold \backslash #3, \backslash #4 \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \series default For the macro only the arguments with the macro name in front of them will then be displayed in \SpecialChar LyX , leading to a better overview. The formula appears in the output as defined in the first box. \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset The appearance of macros in formulas can furthermore be changed for single macros by setting the cursor in the macro and using the menu \family sans View\SpecialChar menuseparator (Un)fold \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Math \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Macro \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To use a macro, the macro name is inserted as command to a formula, in our case \series bold \backslash qG \series default . Our macro looks in \SpecialChar LyX like this: \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \begin_inset space \hspace*{\fill} \end_inset \begin_inset Graphics filename clipart/macrouse.png scale 95 \end_inset \begin_inset space \hspace*{\fill} \end_inset \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset Here is our macro example with the arguments \begin_inset Formula $x$ \end_inset , \begin_inset Formula $\ln(x)$ \end_inset and \begin_inset Formula $B$ \end_inset : \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Formula \[ \qG x{\ln(x)}B \] \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \SpecialChar LyX offers in the menu \family sans Tools\SpecialChar menuseparator Preferences\SpecialChar menuseparator Editing\SpecialChar menuseparator Control \family default different styles to edit macros. To find the style that suits you the most, choose a style and set the cursor in a macro formula to see the difference. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard A math macro is transformed internally to a \series bold \backslash newcommand \series default command when exporting the document. The created \series bold \backslash newcommand \series default command is not placed in the \SpecialChar LaTeX -preamble, therefore macros can only be used in formulas that are in the document below the macro definition box. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Math macros can also be directly created from a \series bold \backslash newcommand \series default command. When writing for example the command \series bold \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \backslash newcommand{ \backslash larrow}[2]{ \backslash xleftarrow[#2]{#1}} \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \series default in \SpecialChar LyX as normal text, highlighting it completely and using then the shortcut \family sans Ctrl+M \family default , the command will be transformed to a math macro. Using this method you need to be careful that the \series bold \backslash newcommand \series default command is typed correctly, otherwise you get a faulty macro leading to \SpecialChar LaTeX errors. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Math macros currently have the problem that further formulas in macro definition s are handled wrongly. Therefore the example \series bold \backslash fb \series default from \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "subsec:The-Command-newcommand" \end_inset cannot be created as macro. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard When the cursor is in a macro definition box, you will see the macro toolbar in \SpecialChar LyX : \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset VSpace defskip \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Graphics filename clipart/MacroToolbar.png \end_inset \begin_inset Index idx status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Macros !
