In fact, most of my code examples already use the \ backslash for the line
continuation. (My code examples are Unix shell scripts and PF
configurations which support the \ backslash too so can be typed in same.)
I only have about 5.05 inches of body so I hope to be able to use the
extra 0.35 inches I would have by removing my indent.
I tried using something like:
\ifthenelse{\equal{\lyxcode}{}}{}{
\setlength{\leftmargin}{0in}}
But says extra } and undefined control sequence.
Or maybe I can redeibe the lyxcode environment, but I don't know how to
redefine an existing environment. Or I can create my own class, but I was
hoping I don't have to do that.
I found the lyxcode defined in lyxmacros.inc.
Any ideas on how to set \leftmargin to nothing when using lyx-code in my
preamble?
