If there is selected text, then the necessary LaTeX mark-up is added automatically. Selecting the two lines shown below
2\alpha + 3 (\alpha > \beta)
\beta -4 (\alpha < \beta)
and then running the "array" clip gives:
%
\begin{array}{ll} \\
2\alpha + 3 & (\alpha > \beta) \\
\beta -4 & (\alpha < \beta) \\
\end{array}
Note that you have to use two or more spaces or tabs for separating columns in your pre-fabricated text; single space is not treated as a column separator. If the table cell must be left empty, use the tilde ("~") or any other symbol which does not produce printed output:
