Why the ##\#\#\#\### but not just?

[yucheng]

I am planning to type my equations in an offline LaTeX editor, simply because it is easier to do. I'll be using LyX. The problem is, it uses $\#\#\#\$#, for single line code, while my editor uses \$\$. Is there any way to overcome this? Am I, seriously, to replace every single \$\$ into $\#\#\#\$#? It is a bit of a nuisance. I'd hope someone else has experience handling this.

Thanks in advance!

Every reasonable editor can do search and replace for such a simple task.

The forum uses ## for in-line formulas and $$ for separate formulas because that's what MathJax uses.
