Highlighting Math Equations in LyX/LaTeX

[rynlee]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone is familiar with a nice way to box or highlight a math equation in LyX. LaTeX code would work as well.

Thanks,
Darin

I don't know LyX, but since you are happy with LaTeX code...
You can use \framebox to box a whole paragraph, e.g.

\framebox{\[ E = mc^2. \]}

Or you can use \boxed to box just the equation (i.e. not the numbering etc.)

\[ \boxed{E = mc^2.} \]

For highlighting equations in a text, I would prefer the latter.

thanks! I tried that code in just LyX mathematical format and it worked perfectly, just use the \boxed command.

Hopefully this will help anyway else out there that looks for this type of thing.
