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).
I don't see it quote that way. If I have a math-inset with "x^2 = 1",
then I see a bit of space. But if I have "x^2 = y", then I don't. The
space seems to be due, then, to the "1", and is the space it occupies.
Same if I have "x^2 = \textnormal{i}". So there is some issue here about
font metrics.
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.
Agreed.
