The triangle is there on Mac, but it could be different on other platforms. Try to use the +/- button (or whatever icon you have) to collapse the node and *then* (sorry for misspelling in previous mail) do the indentation. This should give an indentation of the entire node.

Ok, I've had a good look, but I can't see any triangle next to '2
world' in the outline sidebar. All there is is a little +/- button to
expand/collapse the node. Nor can I see any triangles next to '2
world' in the main document area. I'm glad to hear that what I want to
do is possible, but could you please explain in a little more detail
where I find this triangle or perhaps link me a screenshot?

The only triangle I was able to find was at the bottom of the outline
sidebar. Unfortunately this triangle doesn't do what I want. It only
moves sections up and down, whereas I want to promote/demote. Is this
the triangle you're referring to?

How do I promote/demote an entire branch?

For example let's say I have the following table of contents:

1. Hello
2. World
2.1 How
2.2 Are
2.3 You

If I demote the second heading using the Document->Outline sidebar,
lyx will
give me this:

1. Hello
1.1 World
1.2 How
1.3 Are
1.4 You

In other words lyx will only demote the heading and ignore all of it's
content thereby breaking the hierarchical structure of the document.
Sometimes this is what I want, but more often than not, what I
really need
is for lyx to demote the entire branch of the tree giving me
something like
this:

1. Hello
1.1. World
1.1.1 How
1.1.2 Are
1.1.3 You

As best as I can tell the only way of doing this in lyx is to manually
demote every single subheading. This makes reorganising the
structure of
hierarchical documents unnecessarily time consuming. Is there a
better way
of doing this?
