Hi guys, this is a really simple question and I'm probably just missing something, but I can't get subscripts to work within superscripts. I want to write N^log_b(a) but the underscore always shows up no matter what I do. Tips?
Ctrl+m to get math (if you don't have math active already.) Then enter this without the quotes, but _with_ the spaces: "N^\log _b (a)"
An alternative to entering "\log " is to get the log function from the math toolbar (or the math panel, if you have an older LyX) The panel/toolbar has a list of all usual math functions, and will set them upright (unlike "a", "b",and "N" which will be itialic) This is standard notation. I guess you have been using the text-in-math font to make the "log" upright, that may also cause the "_" to appear like it does in normal text. Don't mess with the fonts, it is not necessary for writing this. Helge Hafting
