Hi all, Don't fall into the same trap I did...
In my "SkipThis" environment, I wanted to have the environment, as displayed in the LyX user interface, have noticible spaces between consecutive paragraphs of the environment. According to the "Customizing LyX: Features for the Advanced User" document, the ItemSep and ParSep commands inside the LyX style should do that. But when I do this: Style Skipthis CopyStyle Normal LatexType Environment LatexName skipthisL LeftMargin "MMMMMM" RightMargin "MMMMMM" ParSep 2in ItemSep 2in Font Family Sans Size Smaller Color Blue End end When I do the preceding, in the LyX user interface every paragraph runs into the paragraph before it. I've tried values of 2in, -2in, and 0in -- it always causes consecutive paragraphs of the Skipthis environment to overlap. Can you guess what I did wrong? ParSep and ItemSep take floats, not lengths, as arguments. 2in should have been 2.0 or whatever. Also, I found that once I set ParSep and ItemSep, my paragraph indents stoped working, so I had to also add the following: ParIndent "MMM" STeveT Steve Litt Recession Relief Package http://www.recession-relief.US
