I know that it is possible to change the color of blocks of text, however I seem to be having trouble changing it character by character. I know it is possible to do it in LaTeX, but I'm not sure if it can be done in Lyx. I tried copying the code into the lyx 'LaTeX' box, but it spat out error messages. Any ideas?

Here is the thread that discusses how to change it in LaTeX:

  • Can you give a minimal example that spat out error messages? What were the error messages? For more information, see http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample – scottkosty Dec 14 '14 at 10:17

Yes, this is possible.

Mark the character you wish to color, the go to Edit > Text Style > Customized and choose the color you wish your character to have. Repeat for the next character.

enter image description here

You can speed this process up by adding a shortcut to the dialog box: Tools > Preferences > Editing > Shortcuts > New, then as function use dialog-show character.
