Weird list environment when using French language

2001-07-04 Thread Robin Boileau

Hello,

I appreciate the fact that LyX supports many languages
(including French, my native tongue !), but it seems that
using french or frenchb messes up the itemize
environment (and maybe even lists in general...) :

i) at all depths the bullets are \normalfont\bfseries{--}
ii) no more variable line spacing according to depth

Is that the correct reason ? If yes, how can I fix it ?

I have seen a web page
(http://ymorere.multimania.com/lyx/document.html) in French
where it is said that the bullets have to be redefined in
the LaTeX preamble section (as well as the TOC depths...).

How can I do it ?

I am not familiar enough with LaTeX, and I would like to
reconstruct the same itemize environment that can be used
when english is selected in the Document Layout window
(lists look great in this case).

Please help a poor newbie who wants to check his spelling in
the right language, get correct hyphenation in his French
documents... and still use these professional looking lists
that LyX generates.

Thanks in advance,


Robin

Weird list environment when using "French" language

Hello,

I appreciate the fact that LyX supports many languages
(including French, my native tongue !), but it seems that
using "french" or "frenchb" messes up the itemize
environment (and maybe even lists in general...) :

i) at all depths the bullets are "\normalfont\bfseries{--}"
ii) no more variable line spacing according to depth

Is that the correct reason ? If yes, how can I fix it ?

How can I do it ?

I am not familiar enough with LaTeX, and I would like to
"reconstruct" the same itemize environment that can be used
when "english" is selected in the "Document Layout" window
(lists look great in this case).

Please help a poor newbie who wants to check his spelling in
the right language, get correct hyphenation in his French
documents... and still use these professional looking lists
