\begin{enumerate}
\item
\item
\end{enumerate}
Is totally legitimate in LaTeX. So I am wondering why LyX automatically
removes empty list items.
In LyX one has to enter and ERT with {} or a note or so in order to keep
the item. This seems cumbersome. And it is needed in order to, for
example, start an "indented environment" directly after the first, e.g.
to get
\begin{enumerate}
\item
\begin{enumerate}
\item
\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
in LyX one has to create
\begin{enumerate}
\item {}
\begin{enumerate}
\item
\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
I guess there is a reason why LyX behaves as it does with empty list
items but I fail to see it at the moment. Maybe someone can give the
reason or direct me to some discussion about this?
