 The problem is that there is no empty line after list, so LaTeX

 options: NextNoIndent, ParbreakIsNewline, RightDelim. NextNoIndent 0 
 gives me correctly indented text in the LyX but not in the generated

 The way LyX is doing this is correct. 

I don't think so:

  a) list embedded in a paragraph,
  b) list as a separate paragraph.
  
* In LaTeX, these are input as

First use case 
\begin{enumerate}
  \item list embedded in a paragraph, 
\end{enumerate}
Continue

Second use case:
   
\begin{enumerate}
\item list as a separate paragraph.
\end{enumerate}

Continue.


  i.e. with/without empty lines separating the list from the rest.

* In LyX, embedding would usually be done via nesting, however:

  * you cannot nest something into a paragraph,
  
  * despite the list beeing input as separate paragraph, LyX exports it to
LaTeX as embedded into the enclosing text:
  
 An environment, in principle, is part of the paragraph in which it
 appears, unless you explicitly say otherwise. 

This specific LyX behaviour is at least questionable.

The clean/consistent way would be only to embedd nested environments.

(BTW: Mathematical equations (displaymath) are 

 * a separate paragraph if surrounded by whitespace
 * embedded if glued to the surrounding text without whitespace.
 
 The problem ist, that as whitespce is not visible in the LyX window, you
 get a surprise result...)

 And, typographically, you should not want to indent the 
 following material by default. You should do so only if it begins a new 
 paragraph, i.e., a new set of ideas.

Yes, but in LyX, when I press the Return button, I do so to start a new
paragraph. When in spite of this I want to embedd something, I nest it.

 Word(TM) has done this wrong for so long that it has confused people.

LyX has had a bug with space-separated pragraphs for so long (simply
increasing parskip so that the space around lists was too large) that this
also confused both users and developers.

The typography is finally up to the document class (I would not indent
a new paragraph after a list). However we need a way to distinguish embedded
lists from lists as separate paragraphs.

Currently, LyX embeds by default and provides a hack for separating:

 If you DO want to indent the next paragraph, then put a --Separator-- 
 enviroment after your list.

Alternatively, you can use ERT (which is, of course, also a hack).

While I don't think this is correct, it may be the most pragmatic way to
keep the behaviour.

Please tell, how you input the letters, which engine you use and (if

Remember, that there are two small phi symbols in Unicode: while in Greek
text, these are just variant glyphs of the same character, in Maths they are
treated as separate symbols.

The safe way should be to input the symbols via their TeX math-macro:

  \phi and \varphi
  
(works only in a math inset). It is good style, to put all variables in a
math inset, even if used inside a sentence like:

 The variables $r$ and $\varphi$ describe the position of $\vec{c}$ in polar

This may be due to the type of question. I never used the svmono class and

Also, as this is a LaTeX limitation, the LyX list is less likely to bring an
adequate answer. I know that this is not you fault, but maybe it can explain
you the nonresponsiveness.


 Or, maybe there are better solutions?

There are better solutions: there are a number of alternative font
packages for Times-compatible maths. 

I recommend http://www.ctan.org/pkg/newtx (although I don't like its
integral sign).

A (German) survey can be found at

In LyX these packages could be specified in the user preamble. I don't know
if there may be problems in use combined with svmono, if yes, please post a
minimal example.

 Someone suggested to use the isomath package, but this gives
 a worse result, in my opinion, than the above solution, as for the
 Serif / Times Roman fonts the bold form does not appear in pdf.

Whiel isomath cannot solve the font problem if there is no font, I still
recommend it for reasons obvious to any reader of the documentation ;-)

lyx 2.1 subscript and superscript problem

[Csikos Bela]

Hello:

In lyx 2.1 I can not make subscript and superscript work.

In a new file (every setting is default) I type A2, highlight 2, select 
Insert-Formatting-
Superscript (or Subscript) - View document (pdflatex): the character 2 is not 
subscript
or superscript, it is a normal inline character.

In the editor window it is sub- or superscript. In the source pane there is no 
indication of any sub or superscript command, it is simply A2.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

 I have a feeling that this problem should be widely known,

There are better solutions: there are a number of alternative font

In LyX these packages could be specified in the user preamble. I don't know

 Someone suggested to use the isomath package, but this gives
 a worse result, in my opinion, than the above solution, as for the
 Serif / Times Roman fonts the bold form does not appear in pdf.

Whiel isomath cannot solve the font problem if there is no font, I still

The question is, since your document setting had Standard for the index

lyx 2.1 subscript and superscript problem

[Csikos Bela]

Hello:

In lyx 2.1 I can not make subscript and superscript work.

In a new file (every setting is default) I type A2, highlight 2, select 
Insert-Formatting-
Superscript (or Subscript) - View document (pdflatex): the character 2 is not 
subscript
or superscript, it is a normal inline character.

In the editor window it is sub- or superscript. In the source pane there is no 
indication of any sub or superscript command, it is simply A2.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Is the use of babel mandated by "blindtext"?
Normally, you would use "polyglossia" with XeTeX/LuaTeX and Unicode fonts.

I don't think so:

* There are two use cases: 

  a) list embedded in a paragraph,
  b) list as a separate paragraph.
  
* In LaTeX, these are input as

First use case 
\begin{enumerate}
  \item list embedded in a paragraph, 
\end{enumerate}
Continue

Second use case:
   
\begin{enumerate}
\item list as a separate paragraph.
\end{enumerate}

Continue.


  i.e. with/without empty lines separating the list from the rest.

* In LyX, embedding would usually be done via "nesting", however:

  * you cannot nest something into a paragraph,
  
  * despite the list beeing input as separate paragraph, LyX exports it to
LaTeX as embedded into the enclosing text:
  
> An environment, in principle, is part of the paragraph in which it
> appears, unless you explicitly say otherwise. 

This specific LyX behaviour is at least questionable.

The clean/consistent way would be only to embedd nested environments.

(BTW: Mathematical equations (displaymath) are 

 * a separate paragraph if surrounded by whitespace
 * embedded if "glued" to the surrounding text without whitespace.
 
 The problem ist, that as whitespce is not visible in the LyX window, you
 get a surprise result...)

Yes, but in LyX, when I press the Return button, I do so to start a new
paragraph. When in spite of this I want to embedd something, I nest it.

> Word(TM) has done this wrong for so long that it has confused people.

LyX has had a bug with space-separated pragraphs for so long (simply
increasing parskip so that the space around lists was too large) that this
also confused both users and developers.

The typography is finally up to the document class (I would not indent
a new paragraph after a list). However we need a way to distinguish embedded
lists from lists as separate paragraphs.

Currently, LyX embeds by default and provides a hack for separating:

> If you DO want to indent the next paragraph, then put a "--Separator--" 
> enviroment after your list.

Alternatively, you can use ERT (which is, of course, also a hack).

While I don't think this is "correct", it may be the most pragmatic way to
keep the behaviour.

Depending on what it should stand for, the correct approach is to nest it in
a text box or use \mathring{A} instead of \AA:

  \mathring{A} is usually printed in italics, it stands for a variable
  (just like x and y).
  
  \mathrm{\AA} or \text{AA} are usually printed upright (roman) and stand
  for a constant or the length unit Ångström (10 nm).
  
  All SI units (and also most non-SI units) should be written upright.
  This is also often done wrong for the micro prefix µ.

Please tell, how you input the letters, which engine you use and (if
Xe/LuaTeX) if you use unicode-math.

Remember, that there are two small phi symbols in Unicode: while in Greek
text, these are just variant glyphs of the same character, in Maths they are
treated as separate symbols.

The safe way should be to input the symbols via their TeX math-macro:

  \phi and \varphi
  
(works only in a math inset). It is good style, to put all variables in a
math inset, even if used inside a sentence like:

 The variables $r$ and $\varphi$ describe the position of $\vec{c}$ in polar
 coordinates.

(This is how it should look in the LaTeX preview and source file.)

This doable but not easy. I recommend to create a *minimal* example (only
required packages, just one section, ...), exporting to LaTeX, further
trimming down everything specific to LyX and then ask a TeX list like
comp.text.tex or at stackexchange.

This may be due to the type of question. I never used the svmono class and

Superscript (or Subscript) -> View document (pdflatex): the character 2 is not 
subscript
or superscript, it is a normal inline character.

In the editor window it is sub- or superscript. In the source pane there is no 
indication of any sub or superscript command, it is simply A2.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

It was something in the lyx preferences (~/.lyx) folder.
Recreating it solved the problem.

is it possible to create a lyx file as flat ASCII file?

[Thirsty Camel]

Is it possible to create a lyx file as pure ascii text, particularly a
chapter?

I have been trying to create appendix files that should be imported into
the main document. I would like to use a script to create my appendix files
with 30-100 figures each instead of doing all this manually. Unfortunately
I cannot seem to create a lyx file that is accepted by the main document,
even if it looks to be 100% the same as a manual file. Is there some
invisible text generated by lyx?

Many thanks for any help

I heard people were doing this. Have you checked the EOL characters in
both documents? Make sure that they're the same in both the main .lyx
file and the generated one.

Hmm, I spent quite a lot of time doing that without much success even with
very simple files. Is there anyone who has working tried and made it work?

Is it necessary to copy the complete header of lyx files - is there a
minimum header and footer?
