Thanks, that's what I meant by ordinals, yes. I'm using Insert>Format>Subindex, which is, I think, slightly faster than what you suggest. Anyway, if I grow tired, I'll have to finally learn how to create a keyboard shortcut for this.

Thanks again,
Manolo

Hello,

Is there an easy way in LyX to enter ordinals such as 1st, 2nd, nth?

Insert>Formatting>Superscript is the easist way I know. You can also
define a custom character style to represent \textsuperscript, and use
that.

rh

In lyx 1.6.2 (ubuntu 9.04)
if you click Insert - Math - Inline formula

then typing say 14^4 puts it as a power (superscript (on top i think)
or typing 14_2 puts it as a subscript (lower down) in a similar way you
can do chemical formulas

If you type for example

^1 _1 H  (note the space) you get H (hydrogen) with the 1  and 1 for
mass number and atomic number in the right place.

is this what you mean by ordinals ?


clearly in you can have anything so could perhaps do 10^th to get the th
as superscript.


hope this helps / is what you were looking for.

Paul
