Not absolutely sure, but I think you just need to set \parindent and
\parskip.

space between paragraphs

[J.Lauffenburger]

A little but enoying presentation problem:

I used the H parameter to specifiy the position of the floatting figures
in my document. Lyx places the figures as I demand it but does not move
the text around it, so I've got some pages with a lot of space between
paragraphs because de figure is to big to appear in this given page. I
looked at the floatingfigure package but it seems that I should
redefine each figure of my document (a big work...). Is that right and
how is it possible to avoid that?

As I remember, you can use \raggedbottom in your Preamble so that paragraphs 
have constant space between them, but you might have a huge space at the 
bottom.

in this case use nonfloat.sty instead of float.sty
have a look at the doc for the use of \figcaption{}

It did EXACTLY what you told it to do. [H] means put it right 
between these two characters, damn it! and it did exactly that.
If you want it to fill in the blank space, you have to let it 
float! Try using [htp]. That means put it right between these 
two characters, if you can. Otherwise, put it at the top of 
the next page, or on a separate page if it is too large. 
That sounds more like what you meant.

You can use sed/perl to do the conversion.
Another option is to add latex commands that will redefine
all floats to be floatingfigure:

\renewenvironment{figure}[1][]
  {\begin{floatingfigure}{0.50\columnwidth}}
  {\end{floatingfigure}}

Space between paragraphs in books

[Laurent Duperval]

Hi,

In a lot of American books, I've noticed that when the subject changes
in a chapter, there is a space between the two paragraphs. SOme times
that space is empty, sometimes it contains

***

and sometimes

 *
* *

Is there a Lyx (or LaTeX) construct that you're supposed to use to get
this effect?
