Re: Insets that don't mess up text flow.
Thanks for the tip! While not what I intended, it indeed results in much less intrusive multi-line footnotes, especially when combined with Richard Heck's local layout. - Klaus 2014-05-27 16:42 GMT+02:00 Liviu Andronic : > On Tue, May 27, 2014 at 3:19 PM, Klaus-Dieter Bauer > wrote: > > Hello! > > > > When creating a lengthy footnote and not folding it (Ctrl+I), it will > > invariably mess up the text-flow, causing the last line before the > footnote > > to be stretched to paragraph width regardless of contents.

This is just the "folded" form with ERT. If you want footnotes to behave that way, you can put: InsetLayout Foot Decorationminimalistic End into Local Layout, or into a module, or modify stdinsets.inc to declare that sort of decoration.

Insets that don't mess up text flow.
Hello! When creating a lengthy footnote and not folding it (Ctrl+I), it will invariably mess up the text-flow, causing the last line before the footnote to be stretched to paragraph width regardless of contents.
