Honestly? I have a personal agenda against this kind of hacks. :-) I know because I have used them in the past. The current paradigm of a list of paragraphs at top level is insufficient, even for latex. The tricks needed for example in beamer make the latex code awful and not something I show to my colleagues as an example of LyX. The solution would be to go to a box based approach (from a linked list to a tree). We already have this model for insets so this is not too far away. In the previous discussion that we had before the general opinion has shifted and the only problem that remains is how to make the user interface seemingly to users. The use of the above approach would give us outline abilities as a bonus, a much cleaner latex code, easier docbook without resorting to esoteric tricks and so on... What I am afraid is that with this short term solution we delay further the real solution. :-( With this said if people agree that this is a good compromise I will not object to it being committed before rc2. > Bo -- José Abílio
