Adding space in the LyX interface

2011-10-18 Thread Mathias Madsen
Hello everyone

Does anyone know if it's possible to add more space between paragraphs in
the LyX user interface (i.e., not the output)? Along the same lines, is it
possible to add a margin in the user interface?

I personally find the text more readable with space between the paragraphs
(as in this mail) and with space between the text and the window frame. So I
hope there's some way to adjust these parameters. I would appreciate any
help!

Thanks,
Mathias

This is all controlled through LyX layout. See Section 5.3.6 of the
Customization manual. You'd want to change the ParSep and LeftMargin
settings for various Styles. If you want to reuse this in various
documents, then you can either (a) do it in a module, which you can
include in all of your documents, or (b) copy the original LyX layouts
to your local LyX layout directory and modify those.

Not exactly more space, but there's a --Separator-- in most layouts 
(choose it where you choose paragraph styles: Standard, Section, Title...)

Yes. In Local Layout of Document Settings dialog; just type
Format 11
RightMargin MMM
LeftMargin MMM

press Validate
press Apply





If you don't find --Separator-- environment, you can also add it to the 
Local Layout:


Style --Separator--
CategoryMainText
KeepEmpty1
MarginDynamic
LatexType   Paragraph
LatexName dummy
ParIndentMM
AlignBlock
LabelType   Static
LabelString  --- --- --- ---
LabelFont
  Color Blue
EndFont
End
