Hi all,
Don't fall into the same trap I did...
In my "SkipThis" environment, I wanted to have the environment, as displayed
in the LyX user interface, have noticible spaces between consecutive
paragraphs of the environment.
According to the "Customizing LyX: Features for the Advanced User" document,
the ItemSep and ParSep commands inside the LyX style should do that. But when
I do this:
Style Skipthis
CopyStyle Normal
LatexType Environment
LatexName skipthisL
LeftMargin "MMMMMM"
RightMargin "MMMMMM"
ParSep 2in
ItemSep 2in
Font
Family Sans
Size Smaller
Color Blue
End
end
When I do the preceding, in the LyX user interface every paragraph runs into
the paragraph before it. I've tried values of 2in, -2in, and 0in -- it always
causes consecutive paragraphs of the Skipthis environment to overlap.
Can you guess what I did wrong?
ParSep and ItemSep take floats, not lengths, as arguments. 2in should have
been 2.0 or whatever.
Also, I found that once I set ParSep and ItemSep, my paragraph indents stoped
working, so I had to also add the following:
ParIndent "MMM"
