Hello,
I just want to add something from a users experience with math in normal text.
As far as I can recall, one reason that I particularly wanted this feature
was to enable me to see more clearly whether or not I had spaces between
a formula and the text following or preceding it.
I don't think you can do mistake like this in LyX...
The described problem occoured many time to me when I had to use math mode
within regular text like a arrow, greek letter, etc. because LyX inserts a
slight space after a math inset which can be easily mistaken as a /real space/
(like the one we put between 2 words).
Hm. If LaTeX don't add spacing there, then LyX shouldn't
either, unless LyX also add spaces in the output. But there
will be cases where people want no spaces, so I think
LyX shouldn't add anything.
If an in-line formula crash into the text on the display, then people
will add whatever space the need because the problem
is so clearly visible. I think that is the correct solution.
