Hello Jürgen,

no, not directly. As a single line break is ignored in Latex, Lyx seems
to remove these single line breaks automatically to make the editor
layout consistent with the output. I think you have two options here:


Actually, it you paste with Shift+Ctrl+V, LyX will keep the lines. But 
this is not useful because LaTeX will ignore them as David explained.



1) Use double line breaks in the text you paste into the ERT. Lyx will
convert this to single line breaks in the ERT which translates to a
whitespace in the output. (see files attached)
2) Use the listing environment (Insert > Program listing). Everything
you insert there will be interpreted verbatim. This is the way to go if
you would like to insert program code in your document.


If you do not care about syntax coloring, you can also use the Verbatim 
layout (or LyX-Code if you want to make some font changes in your text).

Hello,

Code with carriage returns

a

inserted in ERT inset in Lyx appears as

a a a a

Is it possible to keep the carriage returns?
(This is important in cases with huge parts of code, example:
gnuplot scripts)

I want to give feedback (tested with a minimal gnuplot script).
1) double line breaks in ERT: works
2) program listing: fails, because gnuplot script is printed and not  
interpreted

3) paste special > plain text in ERT: works (my preferred method)

Thanks!

I believe that a third option is to do ctrl+shift+v, or Edit > Paste
