Yes. If you don't want to compile the child documnt separately then delete

Someone else can address the A1 through Ax part, but the change out of,
then back into enumeration is accomplished with the package mdwlist,
which I believe is part of a regular TeX distribution.
\usepackage{mdwlist} goes into the preamble.
Essentially, you add \suspend{enumeration} ... \resume{enumeration} in
ERT at those points in the text where needed. This must be accompanied
by a change in depth (alt-shift-right arrow, for instance) of the
entire part being turned into standard text.

Hi
I don't get it to work.
My setup is below, and I don't get any error messages concerning the

preamble.tex is in the same directory as the LyX file, but the preamble

Any ideas?

Now I am Ubuntu-Dapper which is limited to LyX 1.3.7. To get most recent (1.4.3) I compiled from source which works. However this bypasses the packaging system. More recently I found out about how to make simple Debian packages using checkinstall. To make a deb with checkinstall is a relatively easy thing to do. Technically its a Debian packaging layer on top of compiling from source. Although checkinstall makes a deb that fits into the the Debian packaging system, the package is lacking notification for dependencies. So it can't be considered official deb package in any way. I have used checkinstall to make a deb package of 1.4.3. This also works well and fits into the Ubuntu packaging system. If you want my recent checkinsall deb for LyX 1.4.3. to run on Ubuntu-Dapper, just say and I'll post it. I am reading Ubuntu's packaging guide which takes the official packaging process step by step. https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/pdf/ubuntu/C/packagingguide.pdf So it looks like I will be able to make a proper Ubuntu-Dapper package some time in the new year.

Let's take a look at the Ubuntu package listing: http://tinyurl.com/wj737 So the latest release 'feisty' is up to date. The 'edgy' release has a backport avaible. The only 'problematic' case is the LTS (Long Term Support) release 'dapper'. It's a little bit problematic because there where some more intrusive changes in the Debian python policy which also effect Ubuntu. Those changes need to be reverted if you want to backport something to the Dapper release. > Does Ubuntu come in various levels of "cutting-edge"-ness like pure debian > does? Maybe there is already a package there you could use. For everything that is not 'LTS' they've a very short ttl and so they only fetch new packages for the latest release they're working on. >From my perspective (without experience in using it) it's looking like bigger mess than what Debian/unstable is from time to time. Regarding the backports for Ubuntus LTS release 'dapper' I've demonstrated how to do it with the 1.4.2 packages from the 'edgy' release. ftp://hxt.homelinux.org/foobuntu/ It's nearly the same for the 1.4.3 package from 'feisty' but I'm not going to maintain such things. It's just meant as an example to maybe encourage someone who's actually using Ubuntu to work on it to improve the situation.

Someone else can address the A1 through Ax part, but the change out of,
then back into enumeration is accomplished with the package mdwlist,
which I believe is part of a regular TeX distribution.
