Multi-paragraph Description Text Inquiry
Colleagues, Does anyone know how to achieve multi-paragraph descriptions as noted here: https://www.contextgarden.net/Description#LaTeX_2. Newlines do not give the desired behavior. I've tried using a frameless box to encapsulate the text, and that doesn't achieve the effect. I can do this by using ERT in the description text; however, I'd rather avoid this. MWE attached. Any thoughts are appreciated! Thank you, Joel multi_para_mwe.lyx Description: Binary data

Re: Multi-paragraph description
As we are already on the topic...
I have always been wondering how to end a nested environment *without*
starting a new item in the previous level:
1) This is item 1. It contains a list of sub-items, which are in fact
a) one sub-item
b) and another one
However, there are definitely more general things to say about item one.
This additional explanations have to appear below the list of sub-items.
2) This is item 2.
Seems to be a pretty basic thing to me. Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks :-)

Yes. Enter the description, start a new paragraph, set the environment
to either Standard (for a paragraph) or Itemize (for a bullet list),
type madly, then increase the depth of the paragraph (Edit-Increase
List Depth, M-S-right or the appropriate tool bar button, which has a
right-pointing arrow).

Bennett Cool - exactly what I was looking for :-) I never tried to achieve it by intending a standard paragraph - an approach that seems a bit counter-intuitive at first (IMHO). Something like that in example #1 in section 3.4.5 of UsersGuide.lyx would be great. Well, now as I know it I actually noticed that there is an intended paragraph section in example #4 (Going Bonkers), however, example 4 is about a lot of weird stuff and this detail is not really expained there. An example of how to continue an enumeration later on (after escaping back to whatever level) would be nice as well. I guess this required some ERT boxes to fiddle around with LaTeX counters and stuff like that, hence, is not so smoothly integrated into LyX and can be considered as advanced. However, it is just something that people frequently need so an example would be helpful. Thanks a lot Paul and Bennett! Daniel
