Sometimes, though, you need to interrupt the list altogether, go back to regular, non-indented body text, and then resume the list from the next number.Something like this: 1 item bla bla bla bla (a) sub-item (b)another sub-item continue item 1 again bla bla bla 2 another item bla bla bla In these cases you can use the enumitem module, which imports the enumitem latex package. Unfortunately the numbering pattern looks wrong on screen, but it turns out fine in the pdf. See attached example.

Re: problem nesting enumerate lists
Actually, it's quite easy. The key is to make the continuation of (1) be a standard paragraph, but indent it so that it does not alter the numbering of (2). I hope this is clear: 1. [enumerated paragraph] item 1 (a) [indented enumerated paragraph] sub-item (b) [indented enumerated paragraph] another sub-item [indented standard paragraph] continue item 1 2. [non-indented enumerated paragraph] item 2.

The pLyX system: sorting tables and lists
There are four scripts attached with this email and one compressed-format LyX document: sortable.py, sortable_help.py -- a script for sorting tables in LyX, & its help file sortlist.py, sortlist_help.py -- a script for sorting lists in LyX, & its help file pLyXSorting(compressed).lyx -- an explanatory document with examples The LyX document is in compressed LyX format. For the examples to work it must be saved in uncompressed format. (The pLyX system depends on LyX files being *text* files.) It contains some example tables and a substantial multi-level list to play with. The table sorting script reworks for the pLyX system a script aired on this list back in September. On the developer's list I've noticed recent work to swap columns or swap rows in tables. I imagine once that is done, the next step will be hard to resist: go the whole way and sort the table. This might be a short-lived script. The list sorting script is new and was harder to write because of the recursive calls to the sorting routine required by the (possible) presence of sub-lists. My underlying interest in sorting lists arose from a wish to sort indexes. (With their headings, subheadings, sub-subheadings, ... the logic is the same.)

Look into the enumitem package, which LyX already uses for some lists.
It makes it much easier to do this kind of thing.

Hi all, Is there any way, using LaTeX or maybe a LaTeX package, that I could make lists try to stay on one page? For the clarity of my book, it's much better if a list doesn't flow across pages, even if it causes different pages to have significantly different amounts of text. The latter is cosmetic, the former is a matter of reader understanding. I'm thinking maybe something with rubber lengths, but can't really fathom it out any farther.

Thanks Liviu.
I apologize for the delayed answer but had other stuff to do.
Inserting the lines above into the preamble had effect on the list's line
spacing. However I still can not understand what can be the problem
with the enumitem module. I probably will start a new thread for this issue.

Try to load the 'enumitem' module and then include the following in
the preamble:
\setlist{nolistsep} % or \setlist{noitemsep} to leave space around whole list
%\setlist{noitemsep}
%\setlist{itemsep=0pt,parsep=2pt,partopsep=0pt,topsep=0pt}

There add the command nolistsep to get no additional list space like in this example: • A bullet list • without additional • vertical space If I understand correctly I have to add '\nolistsep' in TEX code, but I don't know where.

Mini lists of own floats?

Reducing indentation of enumerated lists
Hi LyX users, I would like to reduce the indentation of an enumerated list so that the number is flush with the left margin of the regular text, and the text within the list is indented by the same amount relative to the number as it is now. That is, i just want to move things to the left a bit, leaving the right margin as is. A crude stick-figure drawing follows: Current: Regular text __1.__First line of enumerated text. What I'd like: Regular text 1.__First line of enumerated text. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

I'd have to see what you'd tried to do to know what was wrong. Possibly
the issue is that enumerations can only use the predefined enumi,
enumii, etc, counters.
I think enunitem and the module are best for one-off changes to lists.
If you want regularly to use a list that is marked with roman numerals,
then I'd write a new list type and a little module that contained it,
such as the attached.

While that is possible in LaTeX, unfortunately it is not in LyX. Right now I use a work around with ERT, but it is kind of annoying and it would be great to have the possibility to simple nest those environments.

Re: Step bullet item lists in Beamer
Gentlemen,
Thank you very much for all the time and attention you have paid to my question.
I have tried using Command Sequences to address this problem. My idea
was to create two commands:
C-[ would insert the latex code to begin the frame and create a
placeholder for the frame title:
\begin{frame} \frametitle{}
C-] would insert the latex code to end the frame:
\end{frame}
(The choice of [ and ] was arbitrary.)
I created the following Command Sequences in the
Tools-Preferences-Editing dialog box:
command-sequence ert-insert; self-insert \begin{frame}; inset-toggle;
ert-insert; self-insert \frametitle{}; inset-toggle;
This is assigned keyboard shortcut Crtl-[
and
command-sequence ert-insert; self-insert \end{frame}; inset-toggle;
This is assigned keyboard shortcut Ctrl-]
The second (end frame) works as expected. The first reverses the order
of the ERT boxes somehow, i.e. the resulting content is \frametitle{}
first followed by \begin{frame}. This seems a little odd - perhaps I
am doing something wrong - but is not a big deal, I just redefined the
sequence as
command-sequence ert-insert; self-insert \begin{frame}; inset-toggle;
ert-insert; self-insert \frametitle{}; inset-toggle;
(Again, assigned to Ctrl-[ )
That works pretty well, but there is one small complication. I was
expecting the resulting LaTex code to be simply
\begin{frame} \frametitle{}
However, initially something else is inserted (at least, visible in
the preview window):
\inputencoding{latin1}\begin{frame}\inputencoding{latin9}\foreignlanguage{english}{\frametitle{}}
Once I save the file, close and reopen, the content of the preview
window is as expected (i.e. all that extraneous stuff is gone), so
perhaps this is not a big deal. However, it leads me to think I am
doing something wrong and in any event it would be nice to have the
code right from the start. Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong
or should be doing differently?
There are a few refinements I would like to attempt eventually (adding
the begin and end frame code with just one command, having the cursor
appear in the frametitle field, having the resulting material in the
LyX document mimic more closely what you get when you import from
LaTex, etc.) but I would like to get this basic, sufficient code right
first. Any suggestions are most welcome.

All environments have this issue, if you want a new paragraph to start a new environment of the same type (e.g. two theorems, tow slides (in seminar or prosper). I filed several bug reports about this years ago but the matter did not seem urgent enough. However, LyX evolved the custom inset and now this might be a better way to handle this cases: Instead of a Frame environment (where you nest the content), you could define a Frame inset.

there a way we could automate that?
Isn't that true with all LaTeX environments? I just took a look at a
sample Beamer presentation done the old fashioned way (i.e., not using
LyX). Frames look like \begin{frame}[options]{heading}...\end{frame}.
The last \end{frame} is followed directly by \end{document}. So I
don't see anything there that's fundamentally any different from
\begin{quote}...\end{quote}, say.
Yes, that is true, but there are complications. Suppose we just had a
Frame environment, which could be repeated, much as quote is. You'd get
\begin{frame} at the first frame, then \end{frame} when the sequence
ended. Then (i) there would be a greater need for depth increases, since
frames very often contain something besides what amounts to pure text.
(ii) You'd end up having to use the Separator thingy a lot: whenever you
wanted to start a new frame. But the real issue is that, the way it
works now, the content of the frame layout becomes the frame title.
There's no way, so far as I can see, to do this using the quote-like
approach.
Conceptually, \begin{frame} is being treated kind of like \section here:
More as a command, and less as if it were an environment. Hence all the
dancing to make it behave like an environment.
I'm not sure, but I suspect that the somewhat convoluted macros in the
current layout file trace back to something that could not be done in
a straightforward way in some early versions of LyX. If we could
figure out what those were, perhaps we could determine whether more
linear solutions would work with the current generation.
I think it still can't be done in a straightforward way

I'm attaching a first shot at the module (charitably assuming the list
server lets me add an attachment -- I seem to be on its s**t list
sometimes). I used "incremental" rather than "step" in the descriptive
stuff to be consistent with the Beamer manual. Just drop it into your
local layout directory (the one under the "user directory" listed in
Help > About LyX), reconfigure (Tools > Reconfigure) and restart LyX,
and you should be good to go. Please let us know if it works or if it
trips up.
Richard, I tried putting the option [beamer.cls] in the
\DeclareLyXModule line, and managed to offend LyX mightily. Is there
some other way to specify that the module requires a particular document
class, or is that left to the reader as an exercise?
/Paul
PS: I'm going to upload this to the wiki. Assuming no bugs (and there's
always a first time, even for that), should we nominate this for
inclusion in a future release? On the one hand, I see module bloat in
the future. On the other hand, I use Beamer a lot, and I find myself
specifying incremental overlays repeatedly (to the point that I'm
kicking myself for not thinking of the module idea myself).

Re: Step bullet item lists in Beamer
Thanks for the great suggestion, I will give that a try.
I am a bit of a LyX noob, so the following may be obvious as well,
but: will that export well to plain LaTeX? I have some collaborators
who I have not (yet!) been able to convince to move to LyX, so being
able to share documents is important to me.
Many thanks again, I really appreciate it.

Step bullet item lists in Beamer
Dear LyX Users,
I would like to use step bullet item lists in a Beamer presentation.
This is fairly simple in SWP, since there is a "Step Bullet List Item"
Item Tag available with a simple keyboard shortcut. Does a similar
function exist in LyX? If not, is it possible to customize either LyX
itself or the .lyx file to create similar functionality?
I suppose one workaround would be to add new environments to the LaTeX
preamble (see below for excerpt from Portable LaTeX code created by
SWP) and then add ERT (e.g. \begin{stepitemize}, \item, etc.).
However, this seems a bit unwieldy.
Many thanks for any suggestions. I apologize if the solution is

Lists in environment?
Hi, I am a newbie to LyX and I have not found an answer to my problem in the archive I am afraid to say: How do I enter a list in a - say theorem - environment? I have already found out that hitting shift-enter does not end the environment, whereas simple enter does. Hitting the list button ends the environment. Thanks for your input. Best wishes J.

As far as I know there is still no way to change Lyx's on screen display

Prior to the start of the first enumeration where you want Roman
numerals, insert the following in ERT (TeX):
\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{\roman{enumi}.}
That makes enumeration labels at the outermost level lower case Roman
numerals followed by a period. Change 'enumi' to 'enumii' (both
occurrences) for second level (nested) enumerations, or to 'enumiii' for
third tier (twice nested) enumerations. Change '\roman' to '\Roman' if
you want upper case Roman numerals (IV rather than iv). If you want
them surround in parentheses rather than followed by a period, include
the desired punctuation in the last argument.
If you need to return to conventional numbering of an enumeration later,
put the following in ERT prior to the start of that enumeration:
\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{\arabic{enumi}.}
You can switch back and forth ad nauseum.

Stefano,
Does the attached file do the job? If so, the use of mdwlist is
overkill (I took it out); just nesting the extra text under the
appropriate list level, and making it standard environments (or whatever
environment you need) should work.
Incidentally, the LaTeX errors were the result of using
\resume{enumerate} right before \end{enumerate} (i.e., resuming the list
but then not adding any further items).

I would expect size of numbers in numbered lists would change accordingly,

That does not happen, with the default 'article' class, using lyx 1.4.5
If you change the font size in the Document -> Font menu, enumeration
labels seem to match. If you highlight an enumeration list and use the
font style dialog to change the size, then you're right, the labels
don't match. That's because LyX applies the font change to the text of
each item individually, rather than to the entire list.
Any suggestions?
If you are changing size for part of the document, rather than changing
the base font for the document, you can resolve this by making the
change in ERT rather than using the font style dialog. For instance
(using <> to denote an ERT box)
<{\Large >blah blah blah
1. whatever
2. whatever
blah blah <}>
Note the single brace in each ERT box; collectively, the limit the font
change size to what's between the two ERT boxes.
Any improvements in the next lyx releases, in this regard?
Same thing happens in 1.6.0rc1. If it's a significant annoyance, you
might want to file a bug report against it.

See the attached example. LyX "merges" consecutive paragraphs of the same Layout into a common LaTeX environment. Something nested inside a paragraph will not break this behaviour. * Setting the next paragraph after the nested list to "Enumerate" will continue the enumeration. * To start a new enumeration, you have to separate the paragraphs with something different than a "Enumerate" paragraph.
