To have it all in one place, you can move the preamble definition into
the Style

Style EDD
   CopyStyle Date
   LabelFont
   Series Bold
   Color Red
   EndFont
   LatexName renewcommand
   LatexParam {\LMP}
   LabelString "LMP:"
   Preamble
 \newcommand\LMP[1]{#1}
   EndPreamble
End

Note, that this box generates just an alternative title for the toc
which may actually also be longer or 
contain a hard line break :-)

Re: Index does not print

[Karthik Tayur]

Replacing all special characters (Insert>Symbols) in the document allows me
to print the indices. I had inserted the pilcrow symbol in the document.
When resolving a problem with conversion I replaced all the symbols in my
document with text.
Any idea why this works? Are special symbols not allowed in footnote
spaces?

Index does not print

[Karthik Tayur]

Hello,
I have been using LyX for some time now. It has been great. Previously the
multiple index function worked well.
Today, while I was able to insert indices, they wouldn't print. Only
disabling the multiple index option under Settings in a fresh document
allows printing of the singular index.
Any suggestions as to how I might go about solving this problem? I suspect
that the files needed for \printindex simply don't compile, as the logs
seem to suggest.

System Details: Arch Linux with KDE, LyX 2.2.2

Regards

That's why I started my answer with some doubts. Notice that it's not 
just the title he's writing into the .toc, but also author's name.
Made me think the code he used is what he really needs. We'll see... 
hopefully.

I noticed. But the question was:
help me with a tip on how to insert a carriage-return/line-break in my 
table of contents, for a very long title?

His try was with LaTeX, but we may want to use lyx if possible.

Notice that Frederick is using LaTeX code (\addcontentsline, 
\addtocontents) to write directly into the .toc file.

Wouldn't be easier to insert new line with Ctrl-Return?

Hi Frederick,
I don't quite understand why you're using these low-level commands 
instead of ordinary sectioning ones, but here's the answer:
in order for \newline to survive writing into the .toc file, you need 
to protect it, thus

\protect\newline should work (not sure how well).



What about using a short title in the TOC?
