I do not seem to be able to find means to cause a single overscore bar to span more than one character. For instance, I would like to represent the regular expression 1(01)* in the form reminiscent of the mathematical mark of repetition.
How this can be done is explained in the math manual that comes with LyX 1.5.4.
It is possible for me to select a stretch of text, and to assign some kind of special character, such as italic, bold, etc. Why can I not also add the character of underline, overscore, strike-through?
I don't want to be impolits, but William, please read the Tutorial and have a look at the User's Guide before proceeding. Most of your qestions are answered there.
regards Uwe
