Dear LyX Users and Developers,
today I tried to use the knitr (Rnw) module successfully when accessed
from Insert > Custom Insets > S/R expression.
When I tried to do that in inline math via \Sexpr{0.5^2} then the
display becomes 0.5² meaning that LyX correctly thinks I want LaTeX-ish
0.5^{2}, but R will choke on that literal "{" in there.
I am sure this must have occurred to someone already and I wonder how
that was solved.
On researching on this I found things like fake math macros and such
which I am not comfortable with (plus looking for "cleaner" solution). I
am thinking of modifying the \Sexpr so that the input to it is done
literally in the same way as the custom S/R expression inset. Or is this
one indeed solved canonically with math macros?
Best Regards,
Michael Bach
