How to get --- instead of ---

2006-12-15 Thread Rainer M Krug
Hi I would like to have "---" in a table, i.e. three minuses after each other, but LyX is always changing it to a long dash. How can I prevent this? I tried \{---} \--- in a LaTeX box, but in the first case an error message, in the second box replaced as well. Any ideas? Rainer -- Rainer M

bug on Mac OS X?

2006-12-15 Thread Stefano Baroni
Folks: Lyx 1.4.3 does not seem to exit gracefully with -Q (the standard Mac OSX sequence to exit applications) on Mac OSX 10.4.8. Not a big deal, but I think this should be considered as a bug. Thanks for making LyX available to us. Stefano --- Stefano Baroni - SISSA & DEMOCRITOS National
