Yes. LyX automatically closes empty paragraphs if not told otherwise by the KeepEmpty keyword in the layout file. A fast workaround is to fool LyX by putting something invisible into the APPENDICES paragraph, e.g. "{}" or "% some comment" as ERT. The Right Thing is to copy IEEEtran.layout to your local lyx directory (usually ~/.lyx/layouts) and apply the following patch: --- /usr/share/lyx/layouts/IEEEtran.layout 2004-07-25 07:39:20.000000000 +0200 +++ /home/milde/.lyx/layouts/IEEEtran.layout 2005-04-20 10:34:59.000000000 +0200 @@ -440,6 +440,7 @@ LatexType Command InTitle 0 LatexName appendices + KeepEmpty 1 ParSkip 0.4 BottomSep 1.5 ParSep 1.5 Guenter -- G.Milde web.de
