I have thought for a while that it might be nice to have a module (or two, or three...) that defined a variety of common list types. Maybe nicely commented, so people could see what else they'd need to do to define some modification. (E.g., at least mention the various list parameters one can tweak.) I've got some of these already in my own modules. Riki -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel

Here is a first go at it. Things to discuss:
- it is limited to a depth of 4 like enumerate. Is it necessary to go
further?
- I opted to create the new list type Legal. Would you prefer to
redefine enumerate instead (advantage: the key bindings for Itemize can
be used).

Hello, There have been people asking for GUI editing of layouts for a long time... It is not easy to do correctly and this will certainly not be part of next version. Concerning the issue that you discussed in lyx-users of having an enumerated list for legal documents, it seems to be easy with enumitem and I can try to provide a module for that.

Numbered Lists features
Hi Lyx developers, Lyx 2.3.1 on Fedora Linux I use Lyx for standard text reports, articles and contract drafting. -- Would like to suggest that some simple feature in the GUI to personalize and define Numbered Lists would be an amazing feature for next updates. It is a pain in the ass to set up a personalized numbered list, only can be done with TeX code. Then the working environment keeps the standard lists, different than the defined to the output. So then some change has to be done on how the LyX displays a numbered list. Something that I didn't yet understand if is possible. Is difficult to work with accuracy and to be productive, when is need to get on code to define a list, and then have a rigid different layout to work on. I believe that to be productive, accurate with work and references and to have the freedom of customization, the numbered lists features in the GUI and Display may be improved. Thank you for LyX it is a greet tool! Cheers, -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
