In lyx1.2, entering \alpha in text mode will result in a math-mode \alpha. Why cannot this be continued? Andre' said that lyx used binary switch and now uses nested switch between text/math modes but I guess it is still possible to automatically turn to math-mode when math symbol is input in text mode. -- Bo Peng
