Greetings,
I am not sure whether what I am about to report is a bug or intended behavior.
I searched on the web and couldn't find anything related. I hope this is not
the wrong list to mention this. Here goes:
There seems to be a confusing behavior with imported LaTeX documents that
contain comments in equations: LyX seems to render everything it finds,
including the comments. Here is a minimum LaTeX source:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\[
x = y.
% u= v.
\]
\end{document}
When imported it into Lyx, it shows on screen as
x=y.u=v.
(see attached screenshot).
The commented part “u=v.” seems to be inside some comment structure but there
is no visible cue on the screen. The compiled pdf correctly shows only “x=y”.
However, the LyX rendering is terribly confusing, as my existing LaTeX
documents look now completely different on LyX screen.
On the other hand, if one tries to insert a comment into an equation inside LyX
itself, the menu items under "Insert->Note” appear disabled in version
2.4.0~RC4. So, it is not clear to me what LyX’s stance is with respect to
comments in equations.
Reporting from Mac apple silicon with LyX versions 2.4.0~RC4 and 2.3.8 under
fresh install.
Cheers,
Fatihcan Atay
