This is my first time here and I did my best to figure out if such a question is in place here. If I missed something I apologize.
My questions is how can I mark a power set in the lyx document editor?
For example: I'd like to write P(A) when A represents a set, but in the special marking normally used for the power set. I assume there should be a '\shortcut' kind of thing, but I'm new to lyx and can't find one.
Thanks in advance...

! Could you please explain a bit, how you would like theP(A)
to look like? If necessary, draw a picture. I can't help you on LyX, but many people will be able to write some LaTeX\shortcut
(called macro) for you.$\mathcal{P}(A)$
, even plain$P(A)$
is fine. Just please do not abuse for this purpose the Weierstraß elliptic function symbol $\wp$, as many clueless people do.$\mathcal{P}(A)$
was exactly what I was looking for - Would make a valid answer... That's how it looks in my homework pages. @LaRiFaRi, thanks for naming the macro for me, this will help me a lot in future questions. I was afraid this group didn't like ignorant LYX users as myself, Thanks for the nice welcome...
