It may help to have a look a the "enumitem" module that enhances enumeration
environments. 

The appended gm-lists.module requires and uses enumitem to define
additional list types. It is a bit dated, though.

Thanks, Paul, for your very valuable help! I am going now to ponder

A couple of possibilities come to mind. If you want to use the new 
version exclusively (and not use good old "enumerate"), you could 
redefine the enumerate environment itself. Assuming you want xenumerate 
to coexist with enumerate, you can define a layout for it, either in the 
Local Layout portion of the document settings (if you only want it for 
one document) or in a module file installed in your local layouts directory.


Guessing that you want the last one (i.e., add this along side regular 
enumerations and make it available to any document that wants it), I 
would suggest looking at /usr/share/lyx/layouts/stdlists.inc for 
inspiration. (That's the Linux path; on other OSes, your path may 
differ.) Look for the section that begins "Style Enumerate" and copy it 
to your local module file (which will also need the proper header 
stuff). Change the first line of the style to "Style Xenumerate" (or 
whatever), change the LatexName entry to "xenumerate", and see if 
anything else needs tweaking (quite possibly not).

My overall sense is that this would best be done using the features of
the enumitem package, as partially implemented in the enumitem module.
But I'm not positive.

Hi Sanford,

Similar to Paul, it would be interesting to know exactly what you want
to achieve.

Note that one option is to put the entire enumerate in ERT. Another
option would be to copy the enumerate style and add your own ERT using
our layout methods. This second option is more advanced. You could start
reading Help > Customization if you were prepared to spend time to
invest and learn some advanced features of LyX.

Re: ERT before first \item inside enumerate environment

[Paul A . Rubin]

Is the purpose here to number enumerated items consecutively across a frame
boundary? If so, and if you have a recent version of LyX, you just need to
go to Document > Settings > Modules and add the module "Beamer Resumable
Enumerate". Then use the usual enumerate environment on the first slide and
the new Enumerate-Resume environment (from the environment drop-down list)
on subsequent slides.

ERT before first \item inside enumerate environment

[S Shieh]

I would like to achieve in LyX the equivalent of

\begin{frame}{WTF?}
\begin{enumerate}
\conti
\item yada
\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}

But if I put the cursor after 1. and use ctrl-L, \seti appears after 
\item.  If I put the cursor after the frametitle and use ctrl-L, 
\seti appears before \begin{enumerate}

bold numbering in \enumerate environment?

[Matthias Diehl]

Hello,

does anybody know how to change the numbers of an \enumerate environment
temporarily into bold numbers?

I want to have bold headings with a number. But the following passages of
various textformats (!) shall be indented. So I wanted to use the  
\enumerate environment

for the indentation. But then it is very hard, to get the numbers bold.

Thanks!

If you are willing to number the list manually, you can use the 
enumerate environment and then put a label in ERT at the start of each 
item.  So, for instance, in LyX you might have


1. [\bf 1.]Here is some text.
2. [\bf 2.]Here is more text.

Where LyX is automatically supplying the numbers and everything in 
brackets (including the brackets) is inserted by you in ERT.

 You need to clone both, LyX layout::

 I am not sure if this works well, as enumerate is an environment, not a

  Style Questions

 ...

  End

 With CopyStyle, you get all the definitions of the copied style and
 need to change only thing that should differ.

  The preceding layout produces the output shown in the attached
  screenshot_questions.gif. However, if I change the LatexName in the LyX
  environment from questions to enumerate, it outputs as shown in the
  attached screenshot_enumerate.gif.

 Describing the difference in words helps (while pics might augment
 this, they cannot always replace a description, e.g. while browsing
 this mail to see if I can help at all, I do not see the attachments.)

  Can somebody explain to me why the two don't output the same?

 no.

 Can somebody explain how I can truly clone the Enumerate environment?

 see above.

  NOTE: In order to toggle the output when switching between LatexType
  questions and LatexType enumerate, you must Tools-reconfigure and then
  terminate and restart LyX. Trust me on this -- I tried without
  reconfiguring and the output didn't toggle.

 You could define 2 Styles in your layout file (one QuestionsTest, say)
 and switch between them in the document.

CopyStyle?

Re: How to make a clone of the Enumerate environment? SOLVED

[Steve Litt]

Gunter -- your solution is exactly right. I confirmed it, and even changed the 
font of the Question environment without affecting Enumerate, which is why I 
wanted a clone in the first place.

Like you said, I have no idea why the TeX based idiom (using \let) didn't 
work, but it didn't. Your LaTeX based solution works perfectly.

Thanks very much.

 You need to clone both, LyX layout::

   Style Questions
  CopyStyle   Enumeration


 and LaTeX environment::

   \newenvironment{questions}{\begin{enumerate}}{\end{enumerate}}

  Here's my layout file:
 
  #% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
  #  \DeclareLaTeXClass[book]{quizbook}
 
  Input stdclass.inc
 
  Preamble
  \let\questions = \enumerate
  \let\oldquestions = \oldenumerate
  EndPreamble

 I am not sure if this works well, as enumerate is an environment, not a
 command. Use the latex \newenvironment instead.

  Style Questions

 ...

  End

 With CopyStyle, you get all the definitions of the copied style and
 need to change only thing that should differ.

  The preceding layout produces the output shown in the attached
  screenshot_questions.gif. However, if I change the LatexName in the LyX
  environment from questions to enumerate, it outputs as shown in the
  attached screenshot_enumerate.gif.

 Describing the difference in words helps (while pics might augment
 this, they cannot always replace a description, e.g. while browsing
 this mail to see if I can help at all, I do not see the attachments.)

  Can somebody explain to me why the two don't output the same?

 no.

 Can somebody explain how I can truly clone the Enumerate environment?

 see above.

  NOTE: In order to toggle the output when switching between LatexType
  questions and LatexType enumerate, you must Tools-reconfigure and then
  terminate and restart LyX. Trust me on this -- I tried without
  reconfiguring and the output didn't toggle.

 You could define 2 Styles in your layout file (one QuestionsTest, say)
 and switch between them in the document.

Table question for LaTeX-experts - was: Tables inside an enumerate environment

[Uwe Stöhr]

Hillel schrieb:


I did try to play with the content alignment setting, but it didn't solve
all my problems. The remaining problem is that even when the content
alignment is set to middle, the top of the box is aligned with the 
*bottom*

of the text line. What I need is to get the top of the box aligned with the
*top* of the text line.

Is there a way I can get that effect?


There is a way, but it is not exact.

I added the new section Vertical table alignment to the Extended-Insets 
manual:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/DocumentationDevelopment#Extended-Insets

where I describe a possible solution.

Attached is also a small LyX-example file.

I'm not content with the solution, so if someone knows a better one please tell 
me.

I created a simple lyx file, with a few words of text followed by a box

holds a table with multiple rows. When I set the box vertical alignment to
bottom, the box is correctly aligned. However, when I set the box 
vertical

Set the box content alignment to middle.

Another interesting thing is that when in addition to Box Vertical - Top,
I also set Content Vertical - middle (instead of the default Content
Vertical - Top), The box top suddenly does align with the text line,
although its still bad since its the box top is aligned with the text line

I am new to LyX and I'm trying to use tables inside an enumerate

 You can use \setlength{\partopsep}{???} and/or \setlength{\topsep}{???}
 (in ERT) to add additional spacing (in your case a negative amount)
 before and after the list.  \partopsep is applicable if the list follows
 an empty line, \topsep if not.  For instance:

If you want all the list environments to shrink their outside spacing by 
the same amount, you can just put \setlength{\partopsep}{whatever} in 
the preamble.  Keep in mind that this will shrink the space on both 
sides (start, end) of the lists.

Enumerate environment too much separated from the precedent text

Dear All

I have a document only with one page ended by an enumerate

no problem. In this case write just _before_ your
modified enumerate in TeX (red) and not in the
preamble:
\bgroup
\renewcommand\theenumi{(\alph{enumi})} \renewcommand\labelenumi{\theenumi}
and just right behind your enums also in TeX

\egroup

Now all the other enums are the same than before

write in the preamble:

\renewcommand\theenumi{(\alph{enumi})}


Thanks, Herbert! The method suggested by you works almost fine, as a dot 
follows (a). On the other hand, it prevents me of using, in the same 
document, the original enumerate environment. Is it possible to overcome 
  these two inconveniences?
no problem. In this case write just _before_ your
modified enumerate in TeX (red) and not in the
preamble:
\bgroup
\renewcommand\theenumi{(\alph{enumi})} \renewcommand\labelenumi{\theenumi}
and just right behind your enums also in TeX

\egroup

Now all the other enums are the same than before

figures and enumerate environment

[Osvaldo Fornaro]

Hi list,

I need to put somes floats in a enumerate environment, some like exercises 
and examples. Someone could remember me the name of the latex package to do 
this?

Thanks in advance.

It sounds somehow strange and contradictory to me:

- floats are floats because they float
- all items of environment enumerate should be all in one place

Could you elaborate on your wish a little bit, please?

 Ok.
 
 I have exercises, and they comes enumerated, so I used for a time simply the 
 enumerate environment. Now i need implement figures for some of them, so, the 
 figure must be close to the item, prefered at side of them. I tried floatflt 
 with minipage, but it is known this combination does not work with itemizes, 
 unless you uses \fltitem{} in ERT.


take package nonfloats, than you have captions as usual.
