Creating a .lyx file using advice in tutorial - problem
Following instructions in the Tutorial, : • Open a new file with File->New • Type a sentence like: This is my first LyX document! • Save your document with File->Save As. I called the file newfile1.lyx On trying to open a pdf by clicking on the "eyes" icon, I get the message: "The directory path to the document cannot contain spaces>" As this is the most basic possible attempt to use Lyx, it seems to be a bug. Please advise.

I'm getting dupes of his messages, and didn't notice it til I got called mistaken and stupid. Personally, I reply only to the mailing list, which is getting harder and harder as time goes on. But by replying only to the mailing list, I guarantee nobody gets dupes of my messages, and therefore nobody is called stupid and mistaken.

Re: Metadiscussion
Hi Wolfgang, as you can see it is our own mistake and stupidity if we get Dr. Lisse's messages twice. The good thing is he enjoys this 'metadiscussion' - thanks God, so our stupidity isn't just for nothing! By the way, we did not invite anybody to enter a discussion, we were just wondering and giving opinions. However, there is his statement about this 'duplicate remover extension in his T-Bird which works quite well' as he says. I think I have to get new glasses. Alternatively we could trigger a discussion on the term 'quite well'.

Module files: "LabelType manual" with curly braces?
Hello!
In the module/layout-file format, paragraph styles can have a "LabelType
manual", which causes the contents of the paragraph until the first
unprotected space character to be passed as optional argument to the latex
command/environment associated with the paragraph style. The rest of the
paragraph will be passed as curly-braces argument.
- Is there any method available to make this a "curly-braces" argument?
- Is it possible to omit the curly braces for the rest of the paragraph?
My intent is to define a paragraph style, that renders like a \paragraph{}
command (i.e. title inline with the text, but bold).
Currently, using "LabelType manual" and "LatexType Command" and setting
LeftDelim and RightDelim to "" I obtain an output
*:1: \paragraphx[{Title~of~the~paragraph}]{*
*:2: These are the text contents*
*:3: of the paragraph*
*:4: }*
*:5: *
where *\paragraphx[TITLE] → \paragraph{TITLE}* is a helper macro.
More desirable would be an output
:1: \paragraph{Title~of~the~paragraph}
:2: These are the text contents
:3: of the paragraph
:4:
- Klaus
PS: The style as I am currently defining it:
* Style Paragraphx*
* Category sectioning*
* LatexType command*
* LatexName paragraphx*
* LabelType manual*
* ParIndent xxx*
* TopSep 1*
* ItemSep 1*
* LeftDelim ""*
* RightDelim ""*
* LabelFont*
* Series Bold*
* EndFont*
* LabelSep xxx*
* Preamble*
* \newcommand\paragraphx[1][]{%*
* %% A wrapper around \paragraph, meant to make*
* %% it work with LyX 'LabelType manual'.*
* \paragraph{#1}%*
* }*
* EndPreamble*
* End*
