Thanks for the information on creating tableaus. However everything I've seen so far assumes the user knows LaTeX. I've been using LyX for several years, but I've never used LaTeX itself. I'd really rather not spend time learning it just to put a few tableau proofs into a much longer LyX document. Any way of creating tableaus directly in LyX?
No, not at the moment, anyway. There's no native LyX support for this sort of thing. But it should be possible to follow the examples.

The easiest (and nicest) way to do this is using the tikz package: in the preamble put \usepackage{tikz} and then, wherever you want the tableau, put in a TeX box the following: \def\land{\wedge} \def\lor{\vee} \def\limp{\to} \begin{tikzpicture} \node {$\{\neg ((p \lor (p \land q)) \limp p)\}$} child {node {$\{p \lor (p \land q), \neg p\}$} child {node {$\{p\}$}} child {node {$\{p \land q\}$} child {node {$\{p,q\}$}}}}; \end{tikzpicture} Note that the structure of the tree depends on the grouping braces { ... }.
