Math Macros in grey note insets

[Murtaza Safri]

Hi
I am typing in a lot of math macros. I wanted to group them together
inside foldable box to improve readability and manageability afforded
by folding the inset box. So I put in a lot of the macros inside Lyx
grey note. However, the output has a lot of new lines and the first
line of my paragraph text starts way down on the page. I noticed from
view source that Lyx puts in an extra line break in lyxgreyedout if
the content is a macro. Is there a way to remove the extra spacing?
Can I design a custom inset?

example source code:
---
This is the beginning of the document

\begin{lyxgreyedout}
\global\long\def\velocityY{v}

\end{lyxgreyedout}

The velocity of object is denoted by $\velocityY$
---

Notice the extra break after the macro definition.

 Hi John,
 
 Glad to hear that things are working for you.  To get
 the sync working,
 all I had to do was go to Tools - Options - Zotero
 /CiteULike and
 Click on Zotero integration box.  Make sure that the
 path to your
 Zotero database is correct (on one of my desktops, a
 Windows 7 box, it
 was filled in automatically and incorrectly).
 
 After that, it *should* just work. (I know that I'm using
 should in a
 very meaningless and dangerous way.)  If you have
 problems, you might
 consider sending an email to the Mendeley devs at supp...@mendeley.com
 (or something like that, the correct email is on their
 website; too lazy
 to check it).
 
 I've sent a number of complaints/feature requests and
 they've been very
 good at getting back to me.  I've never had to wait
 more than a few
 hours.  
 
 To enable the custom citation key, go to Tools -
 Options - Document
 Details and then Click on Citation Key.
 
 One other point, keep in mind that only changes in Zotero
 are synced to
 Mendeley.  It doesn't seem to work in reverse (or at
 least not yet).
 So, if you need to change things, make sure to do it in
 Zotero.  For my
 Zotereo citations, the only bit of information I add is a
 citation key
 (since Zotero doesn't let me do that).
 
 Even with the limitations, I've been very happy with
 Mendeley.  I've
 been working on a book project for the past few months and
 it has been
 invaluable for keeping my references and PDFs
 organized.  Throw in the
 ability to sync with Zotero (which I use to grab websites),
 the indexed
 and complete text search, the OpenOffice integration (I
 still think that
 Zotero does this better, but I'm not going to complain) and
 I've been a
 very happy camper.
 
 If I can help with anything else, please let me know.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Rob

   Thanks Rob.  I remember looking
   at Mendeley just after installing Zotero and
 deciding not to
   try two at the same time.
   
   I've installed Mendeley and it loads but I'm now
 getting
   the message:
   
   It appears that you have Qt installed on your
 system, but
   do not have
   the sqlite plugin installed, which Mendeley
 requires. \
   Please install the Qt4 sqlite plugin, in order to
 use
   Mendeley.
   If you are using a Debian-based system, such as
 Ubuntu,
   this is the
    libqt4-sql-sqlite package, and can be
 installed with
   command 'apt-get install libqt4-sql-sqlite'.
   Alternatively,
   remove your system Qt libraries, and Mendeley
 will use
   bundled copies.
   
   So now all I have to do if figue out if I do have
 Qt
   installed ( I find lots of Qt files in MikTex and
 Lyx so I
   must have it somewhere) and track down the
 SQlite
   plugin.  Closer all the time!

Hi John,

By default, Zotero produces atrocious

By far the ugliest
