Re: [PATCH] 2697: SplitLayout environment.
OK, I am fed up about this whining people do not like my features, they do not like me. It sounds like Friday, doesn't it. :-) It is quite OK that we have different opinions, and it is OK to me that my proposal is rejected by the majority. Although I respect your (and Jose's) worry about future inset-based solution, I disagree with you (at this particular case) and I had to gather opinions and get enough positive feedbacks to proceed. That is all it is about, nothing personal. Feeling better now? I did not feel bad in the first place. Trust me. Fighting a small battle like this one is fun. Cheers, Bo
Re: [PATCH] 2697: SplitLayout environment.
Herbert The current behaviour is easy! But not so easy for lyx newbies. The question is: what to insert that do not show up in the screen output (better latex output), yet split the environment? I remember that it took me 10 minutes to figure that out a few years ago. Cheers, Bo

Re: [PATCH] 2697: SplitLayout environment.
The attached patch adds SplitLayout environment to a few layout/inc
files that will end up in almost all layouts.
I see from this thread that most people like to have this in. Attached
is an updated patch. I put this layout to stdlayout.inc so that it
will show up in almost all layouts.
The only remaining question seems to be the name and the label of this
environment. I will let Jose decide on this.
Cheers,
Bo

Let's say we both have personal views on how LaTeX should be used and they don't match. I could also complain that you are against _my_ suggestions...

OK, I am fed up about this whining "people do not like my features, they do not like me". It sounds like Friday, doesn't it. :-) It is quite OK that we have different opinions, and it is OK to me that my proposal is rejected by the majority. Although I respect your (and Jose's) worry about future inset-based solution, I disagree with you (at this particular case) and I had to gather opinions and get enough positive feedbacks to proceed.
