I don't think you can do this in LyX without ERT. LyX thinks that new paragraphs are new items, and I don't see any way to override this behavior. For now, then, you have to use ERT for your subitems, as in the attached. Richard Thanks! I actually solved it (just by luck) changing the text after the last sub-item to "standard", and keeping it nested at the same level of the sub-items. Indeed, that does work. And what's really funny is that I've used this trick myself in the past. Totally forgot about it. Bennet's solution works perfectly and it is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Sometimes, though, you need to interrupt the list altogether, go back to regular, non-indented body text, and then resume the list from the next number.Something like this: 1 item bla bla bla bla (a) sub-item (b)another sub-item continue item 1 again bla bla bla 2 another item bla bla bla In these cases you can use the enumitem module, which imports the enumitem latex package. Unfortunately the numbering pattern looks wrong on screen, but it turns out fine in the pdf. See attached example.
thanks. indeed it works (although for some reason I had also to force the first item number to be changed with with a TEX tag ([2] in this case). Anyway, I find the other solution to be somewhat cleaner.
It is nice to have more than a solution to a problem. thanks to everybody for your quick support! Piersante Sestini
