Exactly. Not everyone is American, Larry. That goes for 1in
margins *and* all paragraphs indented on the first line.
You mentioned two-fingered typists, Larry. Your suggestions, however,
would help only two-finger-typing Americans at the expense of
all other two-finger-typers in the world. Kinda robbing Peter to pay
Paul, don't you think?
If, OTOH, you want to create templates such as "article-american.lyx",
"book-american.lyx", "article-euro.lyx", etc., that would be most helpful.
