Subject: Problems with my editor's note environment
Hi all,
My editor's not environment has 2 problems:
1. I cannot center the word "Editor's Note"
2. The line spacing on the last paragraph in this environment is spaced
much
wider than other paragraphs in the same environment.
Note that the base for my layout file is memoir.
Here's my editor's note environment:
% ### whitebox is basis for StartNote and EndNote ###
% ### Implements 80% width, and indented paragraphs. ###
\newenvironment{whitebox}[0]%
{%
\setlength{\widthchange}{-2in}%
\setlength{\minipagewidth}{\textwidth}%
\addtolength{\minipagewidth}{\widthchange}%
\hspace{-0.5\widthchange}%
\begin{minipage}[]{\minipagewidth}%
\begin{bfseries}%%
Editor's Note\\[.2in]%
\begin{tiny}%%
\setlength\parindent{16pt}%%
}%
{%
\end{tiny}%
\end{bfseries}%
\par
\end{minipage}%
~\\[0.1in]
}%
If I use
\center{Editor's Note}\\
it centers everything in the minipage -- not just the words Editor's Note.
Go
figure.
I think this is correct. Everything after center will be centered until you
tell it to do something else like raggedleft or raggedright
Not sure about the second issue as I couldn't seem to get the environment to
work? If you could send a lyx file off list to me with it 'working' I will
happily fiddle with it for you.

I'm sure my mistakes are minor, but I can't find them. Anybody have an
idea?
Thanks
