Thanks Jürgen.

I am still on 2.0.6 for production purposes so it looks like I'll have to
live with the LateX code.

BTW: I was asked to submit a draft of the text raggedright and a simple
reformatting of the whole body text though LyX Edit>>Paragraph settings
(which resulted in every paragraph being wrapped in the flushleft
environment) broke the code. The pdf output nows shows un unformatted
(monospaced)  [2'.] label for the item's label (including the square
brackets).
Not a big deal in thi sparticular case (it was just a one-off draft the
editor wanted to see for some particular reason), bot good to know for the
future.


Cheers,

Stefano
