Indeed, I use that in section titles where I have no period at the end (for exercises with answers hidden in a branch).

Wouldn't you end up with a superfluous space before the period when deactivating the branch? Or what kind of spaces are you using? My solution is to add a protected space at the start of the inset. With text insets, you can modify them to accept 'free spacing', if you wish. Riki I was just wondering how the space "before the branch" is working. As to the possibilities you mention: wouldn't it nice if LyX allowed to insert a space at the beginning in those insets where it makes a difference without going all the way to allow free spacing? How easy is it to define "where it makes a difference"? Will people guess by themselves why it works here and not there? I mean, I can understand why inserting spaces at the beginning of some insets does not make sense, e.g. footnotes, because leading spaces are just swallowed there. But "free spacing" in branches seems to give the wrong impression that multiple spaces are honored, right? In general, freespacing is used when spaces are honored. By the way, why is there an indentation at the beginning of the branch inset? Doesn't that give the wrong impression of some spacing? Shouldn't the first paragraph in a branch inset behave like the first paragraph in a section, i.e. not be indented, and then only the next paragraph be indented?

Thanks Paul! I think you're right, that's better than the non-breaking space. On the other hand, it is 3 keys to press instead of 2 :) (just kidding of course, I can make my own binding).

Allow space at beginning of (some?) insets
I come across the example in the attachment often in various forms. It would be nice if I could insert a space at the beginning of an inset. Am I missing a more natural workaround than the ones shown in the example?
