But if you use the Description environment, you don't get automatic
numbering and it must be hard to cross-ref your definitions?
What about putting in the preamble
\newtheorem{definition}{Definition}
then you can open any definition with
\begin{definition}
and close it with
\end{definition}
(both in ERT). This kind of item is basically part of the "theorem-like
statements" and unless I'm missing something, there's nothing yet to set up
these theorems purely within the LyX interface. Am I wrong? (I'd like to!)
