Hi Shiv,

It is used to separate environments. You can do it using

You start a Problem environment and write something. If you want
to start a new Problem environment, hit the Enter key and go to a
standard environment, hit again the Enter key and LyX automatically
inserts a parbreak separator. Now you can start any other environment.

The parbreak separator will insert a blank line in the latex output.
If you don't want that, use the context menu to change it to a plain
separator. This kind of separators are automatically inserted when
needed in a hopefully intuitive way. If you hit Enter in a standard
environment after a non-standard one, you get a separator and you
are ready to insert again the same non-standard environment.

The small arrow you see, plays the same role of the old --Separator--
and behaves in the same way, because it leaves a blank line in the latex
output. However, now you can also avoid that blank line by turning the
parbreak into a plain separator.

 Also, in aqua.bind, we have a binding for menu-separator-insert.
 This LFUN does not seem to exist. Can I remove it or should it be
 corrected to something else?

Don't know about this one.

Hi Shiv,

In the layout dropdown box, choose "Separator". Does that work?


Scott means: Put a Separator environment between the successive Problem 
environments. This is exactly its intended use. Otherwise, LyX does 
treat successive environments as a single one.

Thanks, Richard. I got it to work. I realize now that I had had the same 
problem with other environments before but did not realize it! It would 
be nice to have this in the manual, or, at least, if it is in there I 
did not find it! Thanks.

I would have thought it was there, but you are right: It isn't. It 
definitely should be.


If you have a few minutes at some point to look at the manual, figure 
out where this should go, and write a paragraph, please feel free. We 
can use all the help we can get.

I finally found it in the "User guide". It is in section 3.4.6 "Separate

Thanks for finding this Shiv. Please let us know if you have any other
ideas for improving the documentation.

(below is for LyX developers or users following the 2.2 development branch)

For master branch, we have:
"To split an existing list into two lists, set the cursor at the end
of a list item, press Return and select –Separator– in the pull-down
box for environments in LyX's main toolbar."

But I don't think we have --Separator-- in the pull-down box anymore.
Can this be done with Edit > Start New Environment?

Note that there is still the LFUN separator-insert but I don't think
we have a graphical way to insert it. Is that expected? Actually, what
is the use case for needing separator-insert? I'm sure there is one
since it is called in LFUN_PARAGRAPH_BREAK, but I do not know it.

Also, in aqua.bind, we have a binding for "menu-separator-insert".
This LFUN does not seem to exist. Can I remove it or should it be
corrected to something else?

It is used to separate environments. You can do it using
Edit > Start New Environment, but you don't need using the menu.
You start a "Problem" environment and write something. If you want
to start a new "Problem" environment, hit the "Enter" key and go to a
standard environment, hit again the "Enter" key and LyX automatically
inserts a parbreak separator. Now you can start any other environment.

The parbreak separator will insert a blank line in the latex output.
If you don't want that, use the context menu to change it to a plain
separator. This kind of separators are automatically inserted when
needed in a hopefully intuitive way. If you hit "Enter" in a standard
environment after a non-standard one, you get a separator and you
are ready to insert again the same non-standard environment.

The small arrow you see, plays the same role of the old --Separator--
and behaves in the same way, because it leaves a blank line in the latex
output. However, now you can also avoid that blank line by turning the
parbreak into a plain separator.

Exercise/Problem environment in AMS-book

[Atul Narang]

How does one use the Exercise or Problem environment in AMS-book?

It doesn't seem to work like the enumerate environent. If I choose the
problem environment, type a problem, and then hit RETURN at the end
of the problem statement, I don't get a new problem number.

Thanks in advance for your help!
