Suppose I write a bullet-pointed list to explain: * why it's a good idea * where to find the stuff * and how clever the results are then it's all one big sentence with no paragraph break. Alternatively, each bullet point could be a sentence with the trailing sentence being a summary statement. Again all one paragraph (multiple sentences though this time) and no paragraph break. Then there is the third option. The paragraph break situation. That's two against one. > > Well, the solution is simple, put the paragraph break. This is what I did: If you can come up with a useful scheme to simplify this within LyX let us know. We have a similar situation with multiple consecutive environments (like several Theorems for example). Both cases should be fixable once we have a ParagraphInset. Allan. (ARRae)

IndentFirst Problem (The solution I've used)
I've been suffering with the package indentfirst, the problem was that the package didn't indent the paragraphs that came right after a enumerate, description or itemize paragraph. This is the solution I've found. As Jean-Marc Lasgouttes so kindly told, LyX does not (and I am still wondering why wouldn't he) put a paragraph break between lists and the following paragraph. Well, the solution is simple, put the paragraph break. This is what I did: 1- Export the document as a LaTeX file (your_file.tex). 2- Run a script that put the paragraph breaks (set_indent.perl). 3- Run LaTeX 3 times: latex your_file.tex 3- And then: dvips -t letter -o your_file.ps your_file.dvi And now you have a postcript file - your_file.ps - ready to print. Attached is the script I've used, named "set_indent.perl". It is, as you migth guess, a perl script, and is written for a Unix like system (Linux in my case) which has perl instalated on : /usr/bin/perl. I hope this help someone out there with this problem.

Hmm, this happens because LyX does not put a paragraph break between lists and the following paragraph. I cannot think of a simple workaround right now... JMarc

IndentFirst Problem
Hello list, at last, my thesis is finished, but I still have a problem with the IndentFirst package. IndentFirst is indenting allrigth all the first paragraphs, except for the ones that are after a enumerate, description or itemize paragraph. Anyone, can help? I'll apreciate very much your anwser on this one. Thanks.
