The entire problem was I wanted one single environment to do the job of both \list and \item. I now realize that's not possible in LaTeX, and only using a special LyX keyword makes that possible. The solution is in LyX, not in LaTeX. The solution in LyX is to use this: LatexType Item_Environment My problem is I had been using the following LyX grammar: LatexType Environment Using just plain "Environment" makes happen just what I experienced -- only the first item gets a bullet. The Item_Environment keyword makes LyX insert an \item in each paragraph. Too cool! Developers, thanks for that convenience -- otherwise I'd need to use an item environment nested inside a list environment, and nobody wants that.

If you have ticked "Document>Settings Text format: Separate paragraphs
by (*) vertical space" the answer is "probably yes".
Try with "(*) indent" instead. Or try inserting \usepackage{parskip} in the
LaTeX preamble.

It is double-spaced. It would look better either at 1.5 spacing or single spacing but indented. Is that the same issue? Doug.

How to make a single list environment
Hi all,
I want to make a clone of the Itemize environment, only with narrower spacing.
After didlling around with some Itemize LaTeX found in non-book environments,
I figured I'd just roll my own. I already know how to make a 2 environment
list, with the outer environment defining the list, and each instance of the
inner environment defining one item.
That would be just fine in LaTeX, but it's inconvenient in LyX. So I'm trying
to make something like Itemize, which both creates the list and makes each
paragraph an item. The following simple LaTeX came dang close to working:
\newcommand*{\starlabel}{*}
% ### Vertically denser than Itemize Outline ###
\newenvironment{outlineL}{
\list{}{
\let\makelabel\starlabel
\setlength\parsep{-2pt}
\setlength\labelsep{0.2in}
}
\item[]
}{
\endlist
}
The preceding is close but no cigar, because it prints the star only on the
first item of each list or sublist, as shown in the attached graphic. I
experimented with putting the star in the first arg of the list, nothing
showed up. I put it in the squarebrackets following item, no joy.
What's the correct way to do this?
Thanks
Steve Litt
