In several places in my latest book I need to insert tab indented outlines. Here's an example: How do I do that in LyX in such a way that I don't get too much space between lines, and it's obvious that this outline is a think in itself and not just part of the flow of the document?

I don't know if there's a slick way of doing it, but the attached example seems to get the desired end result (albeit with a high degree of tedium). You can experiment with the \setlength commands in the preamble to adjust the spacing (see, for instance, http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/textprocessing/teTeX/latex/latex2e-html/ltx-260.html for a list of lengths you can play with). If you're doing this often enough, it might be worth modifying a layout to include the new list environment.
