Hi Riki,
Thanks for your help. You can probably tell that I'm new at this and
I've used chatgpt for help.
I think the parIndent, Parskip and BottomSep only affect the edit
window so I nopped them.
Yes, though they can be helpful in giving visual clues.
I think {} indicates title text string.
No, that is just nothing. Braces just bunch things. That bunches
nothing, so it's nothing.
In an environment, you define two things: What happens before it starts,
and what happens after it. What you want, I think, is:
Preamble
\newenvironment{grammertitle}
{\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}\vspace{1\baselineskip}}
{\vspace{4\baselineskip}}
EndPreamble
The first line (stuff in paired braces) sets no indent and then says:
Skip a line's worth of vertical space. The the contents of the
environment (what you type in LyX) will appear. After that, there will
be another skip of 4 lines.
In general, we have:
\newenvironment{newenvname}
{STUFF THAT HAPPENS BEFORE}
{STUFF THAT HAPPENS AFTER}
As Ehud suggested, if that all seems new, then I'd suggest something
like this:

LaTeX is not that hard, but it does take some getting used to.
