\footnote itself does not seem to work, but you can put \footnotemark in

 This seems to be contradicting with your above explanation -

 KOMA-Script Article does not load typearea automatically, as opposed to
 classicthesis. So you can use geometry with the former.

Well, in scrartcl.cls, I find

  \RequirePackage{typearea}[\KOMAScriptVersion]

Re: Creating a new description environment

[gadmm]

Dear Victor,

Here's a solution that can be adapted to many other contexts. In 
Document Setting  Local Layout, you can define your custom environment 
with the following code:


Style Description2
  CopyStyle Description
  LatexName description2
End


For more information about the layout syntax see the customization guide.

 Hi, Scott,
 I am not sure what you meant. I include a minimal example (no preamble

 I guess the problem is a matter of the Koma script book style, since
 changing it to standard book style shows an error -indicating that a note in

 Thanks for your attention

Hi Wolfgang,

I see your point. If you can insert them with LaTeX and it works, then
you might want to create a feature request. I would frame it more

The crucial difference is probably that while using KOMA, typearea is

Thanks a lot for this detailed explanation, Enrico. This makes things
perfectly clear to me.

I corrected this to specialchar-insert menu-separator at 27b8b068, as

You start a "Problem" environment and write something. If you want
to start a new "Problem" environment, hit the "Enter" key and go to a
standard environment, hit again the "Enter" key and LyX automatically
inserts a parbreak separator. Now you can start any other environment.

The parbreak separator will insert a blank line in the latex output.
If you don't want that, use the context menu to change it to a plain
separator. This kind of separators are automatically inserted when
needed in a hopefully intuitive way. If you hit "Enter" in a standard
environment after a non-standard one, you get a separator and you
are ready to insert again the same non-standard environment.

The small arrow you see, plays the same role of the old --Separator--
and behaves in the same way, because it leaves a blank line in the latex
output. However, now you can also avoid that blank line by turning the
parbreak into a plain separator.
Thanks a lot for this detailed explanation, Enrico. This makes things

Has someone put this in the docs? It's an improvement, for sure, but it 
will take some

getting used to for us old-timers, I think.
