Math macros? Ive heard of them but have not worked out what they are and
how to use them yet. what I wish to do is replace something like "(1,0)"
with the longer notation which in tex is $A^{2}\Sigma -X^{2}\Pi
\left(1-0\right)$.
Its one of those things that for day to day you can just say (1,0) and
you make perfect sense but put it in writing and you look like a fool
(and the above notation in tex is just the short version of the full
thing). As such it would be nice to type (1,0) and have it turn into the
above when the dvi is exported.
There is several notations like this that if I could streem line them it
could make things easyer.
If Maths macros can do this then Ill look into them
cheers

Thanks I was just wanting to know how this was done as I could not find
anything in the .cls or .layout files that would do this. I was also
wondering if I could use this to replace words with some scientific
notation without seeing all the mess in lyx.
One could probably do that but the tide is turning against these hard-coded
bits...
What exactly are you trying to achieve? I have a strong feeling that we
might be able to (ab)use math macros to do what you want...
