It depends on whether a list should be a separate paragraph or part of the preceding (or including) paragraph. In LaTeX, the author can decide this choice by surrounding the list environment with blank lines or not. In LyX, there is no such choice, as * you must start a new paragraph to give it a different layout, * you cannot nest something in a Standard paragraph. This becomes an issue with Document>Settings>Text Layout: Separate Paragraphs with [*] Vertical space, as then additional vertical space is also inserted around lists. Things improve a bit if you set this option to [*] Indentation and load the package parskip in the LaTeX preamble instead. (Of course, you will miss the feedback in LyX then, but the printout is OK). > I just wanted to add to your comments the following. > When you start a "display formula", if you hit return before doing so > it adds an extra space.
