Hi all,
I've got a set of tabular data. A considerable amount of the numbers are
negative. I can easily create a table of the appropriate dimensions in lyx
and paste in my data from an editor. However, in the final output, the
negative numbers are preceded by a dash instead of the more appropriate and
visually pleasing minus sign. Of course, this can be remedied by typing in
the negative numbers in math mode. But is there an easier way to tell LyX
that the numbers in the table are to be in math mode? Perhaps a script that
would place $'s around the numbers would work?
After using LyX and LaTeX for awhile, I now appreciate the difference between
a dash, em dash, en dash and minus sign. Then again, maybe I'm being a bit
anal ;-)
Thanks,
Kevin Gross
