I'm writing a book in VimOutliner

2007-12-30 Thread Bob Alvarez
This is quite interesting to me as I am also interested in writing a book with Lyx. I think I have seen some of your discussions in using VIM, and I guess now VIM outliner, with Lyx.

I'm writing a book in VimOutliner

2007-12-30 Thread Steve Litt

How do you handle definition lists?

Hi all, My new book will have a glossary or definition list at the beginning of each chapter, in order to introduce words introduced in the chapter. I could do it with a table, or with the Description environment (my favorite), or maybe some other way. Curious -- in what format do you all usua
