Look at the label on the flashup logo when LyX starts,
or help->version will tell you.

Find a possible solution attached. I'm sending it to the list so that the
experts in Europe can express an opinion.

This is to test a list of object defintions:
\layout Standard
\latex latex
'
\backslash
Diamond'
\latex default
: indicates the vehicle initial position
\layout Standard
\latex latex
'
\backslash
Box'
\latex default
: indicates the final position
\layout Standard
\latex latex
'
\backslash
otimes'
\latex default
: indicates required stopping points
\layout Standard
'+' : something not using a latex symbol
\layout Standard
the above are all of type
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
standard
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
\layout Standard
If they are changed to
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
list
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
Lyx cant handle it AT ALL.
\layout Standard
It can't can it! but from my reading of various TeX texts, imho; it's not
supposed to.
\layout Standard
What I think you need is something like this ghastly hack with ERT which
while absolutely horrible does in fact work! Don't forget the ``$'' signs
as the symbols are math mode.
\layout Standard
I suppose it is a matter of opinion as to whether or not one should have
to go through this kind of gymnastics.
Europe will be awake soon and I'm sure they will have many opinions
