What is the best advice now for LyX users who want paragraphs shaped
like this
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
But we want to control both the indentation of the lines 2-3 as well
as the negative indentation of line 1. A negative indentation on the
first line of an itemized list would be about right for this.
Searching in the LyX archive, I find that I asked this before. This
message that Herbert Voss sent in response to my question in 2001:

Is there simplification available now?
I notice the tips & tricks page is gone now, as this link no longer
leads anywhere:
http://www.lyx.org/help//layouts/layout.html#hangindent
I am wishing there were a simpler solution *within LyX* to do this,
without creating a layout file or such, because I primarily need this
for use of students in our computer lab. I've been pushing them to use
LaTeX and LyX, and if I say "that is not possible" they just say "we
will use Open Office instead." So the "you can't get there from here"
problems with LyX are creating a bother. Students tell me MS Word has a
"hanging" option for paragraphs that makes this super simple. When I
told them "we don't need that because real publishers don't do that"
they turned up with several journals in which itemized lists and
bibliographic entries are formatted in that way.
