Yet you decided already that typing in LaTeX and hitting C-m is easier.
Quite interesting.

Yup, I did exactly that, from the beggining. But the text is right aligned.
That's why I changed to tables in my solution.

Hi Julio,
On my test.lyx, the explanation text is left aligned, not right. Don't worry
about being a pain. Now that I've seen how good
Now I know. Sorry Enrico for beeing such a pain.

Nope, you're right Enrico. Steve only wants to achieve the task at hand with
as little ERT as possible.

I think I was also suggesting how to get that layout in LyX, or am I missing
something here?

He knows that Enrico, it's only that, when you're writing a book, it's a
little cumbersome to do it with LaTeX all the time.

Yep, that did it. Thanks Julio.
It's not exactly how I want, but I'm pretty sure I can fix it so it lines up
exactly how I want.
I like the method I showed earlier, *if I were using pure LaTeX*. But your
method is much easier and less complex from within LyX.

Too bad -- it would have been much easier than anything else I can think of.

I don't really follow what you mean by "aligned equal signs". So, attached
is a new LyX document and the resulting PDF. Check the four cases, because I
believe there lies the solution.

I compiled and examined your LyX file, and for me, the equal signs didn't line
up. The explanations lined up beautifully, but not the equal signs or for

For the purposes of my book, I think it's pretty important that

I tested that and it works, but stuff doesn't line up the way I'd like. What
I'd really like is an \eqnarray* with 4 columns instead of 3, so I could do
something like this:
