Hello, I appreciate the fact that LyX supports many languages (including French, my native tongue !), but it seems that using "french" or "frenchb" messes up the itemize environment (and maybe even lists in general...) : i) at all depths the bullets are "\normalfont\bfseries{--}" ii) no more variable line spacing according to depth Is that the correct reason ? If yes, how can I fix it ? I have seen a web page (http://ymorere.multimania.com/lyx/document.html) in French where it is said that the bullets have to be redefined in the LaTeX preamble section (as well as the TOC depths...). How can I do it ? I am not familiar enough with LaTeX, and I would like to "reconstruct" the same itemize environment that can be used when "english" is selected in the "Document Layout" window (lists look great in this case). Please help a poor newbie who wants to check his spelling in the right language, get correct hyphenation in his French documents... and still use these professional looking lists that LyX generates. Thanks in advance, Robin ______________________________________________________ Boîte aux lettres - Caramail - http://www.caramail.com
