Re: Question on whitespace at the end of raw TeX - inserts

I think LyX should not try to be more clever than the user. We know from other Word processors where this ends. Particularly, ERT is supposed to pass code _as is_ without any addition or modification. Doing clever tricks is impossible to get right. Dieter Jurzitza wrote: 1.) put automatically

Problems with wrapfigure TeX-code

Hi! I am writing a conversion program which should generate floating and wrapped image, what you get in Lyx by 'insert - Float - wrap text'. this works fine in Lyx, but when I import the same code as handwritten TeX code, Lyx complains and does not recognize it as a block. Even worse, if I

word wrap and \use_geometry

Text cannot be properly justified in the 'item' environment, if \use_geometry is set 'true'. Both the lyx interface and the pdf output appear to be affected by that switch. I do not remember what the use of the \use_geometry option and how it can be set off from the lyx interface. I I have just

Re: Question on whitespace at the end of raw TeX - inserts

What Dieter refers to is that TeX is interpreting a blank as the end of a command. I.e., \TeX and friends will be parsed as commandTeX/commandand friends. If you want a blank after the command, you must either write \TeX\ and friends or \TeX{} and friends (in ordinary LaTeX), and I think
