Hello Nirmal,

it's propably not that important... but as you asked:

 It's not a difference between M Enter and C Enter as far as I can tell

Lab manual

[Ed Sawicki]

I need to create a book that includes hundreds of lab exercises
for students. Many exercises are formatted with steps as in this
nonsense example:

1. Connect to the Internet and download ... Here's an example of
   how to do this:

   lynx http://www.blahblah.com/...

   Be sure to .

2. Untar the file with a command similar to this:

   tar xzvf carnivore-1.2.tar.gz

3. You must now compile the program. ... using a command
   similar to this:

   ./configure --prefix=/opt/carnivore


Is there a document class that comes close to this?

Hi Christian.. I think there's something missing in those instructions:

increase the depth (M-p Right) and then write and change it to 
followed by M-Enter so that we don't change the depth. We now have:



Now write foo --widget=blah, C-Enter, foo --widget=blah and Enter. 
We now have:

Before the last line above, shouldn't there be a change to the LyX-code 
environment with a M-p c and then an M-p Right to get the same depth as 
the first set of LyX-code text? If I do the above what's quoted above, I 
get foo --widget=blah in text mode aligned with and change it to.

Secondly, to get what Karsten has on the screenshot, the two lines which 
look like the following:

Then write foo --widget=blub and use C-Enter to get a new line, where 
you write bar  /dev/null and press

need to be modified and the C-Enter replaced with M-Enter.

My personal opinion on this is that keeping depth with M-Enter can sometimes
be unhandy. I prefer to 
 1. enter the text with "standard" layout
 2. chose the layouts for every paragraph
 3. indent them to their final places
But I think that's mainly a matter of taste (that's why I didn't add it to the 
wiki page).

Does that make a difference (apart from empty lines being ignored in lyx-code
when done with (M-)Enter instead of C-Enter)? I didn't use them cause I feel
they have a certain "stigma" on them as being untypographical(?) ...

That remembers me of a litte Idea I had: Is it possible to map C-S-Enter to
the following command sequence:
  M-Enter (or it's lfun counterpart)
  S-M-Right (increase depth)
  chose "standard" layout
In my bind files I nowhere found a Key mapped to more than one lfun. is this
possible at all? Reason for wanting this: Adding a paragraph inside an 
enumeration or itemization easily:

 1. kjanskjndkc nlfkjvn ljkfdnv jkafndvjkanfdv 
kjhnadsk cjhaldjvh ljfakjklfdv 

kjdslkhb lhfdlvhdlfvjh ljkhfbl jkshdflvjkhfv
lkjsdflksdjf l kdjlkjl

 2. jkjhs kdjfh

I believe it's simple but my (few) tries failed...

good night everyone,

Karsten

I'm not sure I understand.. currently, if the instructions on the wiki 
page are followed, one does not get what is shown in the screenshot. 
It's not a difference between M Enter and C Enter as far as I can tell 
cos you'll get the second block of code in text mode which doesn't seem 
to be what that example tries to illustrate (or so I figure.. :-))..

need to be modified and the C-Enter replaced with M-Enter.

Probably not but just to stay consistent, i.e. to not confuse someone 
who follows the instructions and sees return arrows at the end of the 
lines while the screenshot doesn't have them...
