That would be indeed great, but I would like you all to make sure that you're using one very neat feature: instant previews inside of LyX. When this option is enabled, you should see this kind of "ugly" representation of equations only when you're editing them. LyX renders them instantly and shows the rendered version instead. Thus, your text should look like it is, but the equation should correspond exactly to the one in the pdf. That makes the WYSIWYG (or WYSIWYM)-experience even better I think. However, I like your proposal. Maybe some screenshots of how LyX handles tables would be useful, too, as tables are a pain with plain LaTeX. Dominik
