You start a "Problem" environment and write something. If you want to start a new "Problem" environment, hit the "Enter" key and go to a standard environment, hit again the "Enter" key and LyX automatically inserts a parbreak separator. Now you can start any other environment. The parbreak separator will insert a blank line in the latex output. If you don't want that, use the context menu to change it to a plain separator. This kind of separators are automatically inserted when needed in a hopefully intuitive way. If you hit "Enter" in a standard environment after a non-standard one, you get a separator and you are ready to insert again the same non-standard environment. The small arrow you see, plays the same role of the old --Separator-- and behaves in the same way, because it leaves a blank line in the latex output. However, now you can also avoid that blank line by turning the parbreak into a plain separator. Thanks a lot for this detailed explanation, Enrico. This makes things perfectly clear to me. Has someone put this in the docs? It's an improvement, for sure, but it will take some getting used to for us old-timers, I think. Richard

Please let us know if you have any other ideas for improving the documentation. (below is for LyX developers or users following the 2.2 development branch) For master branch, we have: "To split an existing list into two lists, set the cursor at the end of a list item, press Return and select –Separator– in the pull-down box for environments in LyX's main toolbar." But I don't think we have --Separator-- in the pull-down box anymore. Can this be done with Edit > Start New Environment? Note that there is still the LFUN separator-insert but I don't think we have a graphical way to insert it. Is that expected? Actually, what is the use case for needing separator-insert? I'm sure there is one since it is called in LFUN_PARAGRAPH_BREAK, but I do not know it. Also, in aqua.bind, we have a binding for "menu-separator-insert". This LFUN does not seem to exist. Can I remove it or should it be corrected to something else? Scott

Thanks, Richard. I got it to work. I realize now that I had had the same problem with other environments before but did not realize it!

Hi Shiv, In the layout dropdown box, choose "Separator". Does that work? Scott means: Put a Separator environment between the successive Problem environments. This is exactly its intended use.

"Problem" environment
I am preparing some home work in LyX and would like to have a series of "Problem"s. I used the "Problem" environment, but, if I have two "Problem" environments in succession LyX merges them together. I can artifically insert a Ctrl-space in "Standard" environment between two "Problem" environments, but I wonder if I am doing something wrong. Thanks for any help. I am LyX 2.1.3. --shiv--
Exercise/Problem environment in AMS-book
How does one use the Exercise or Problem environment in AMS-book? It doesn't seem to work like the enumerate environent. If I choose the problem environment, type a problem, and then hit RETURN at the end of the problem statement, I don't get a new problem number. Thanks in advance for your help!
