how to insert a theorem?
Hello, Sorry for this stupid question, but I can't manage inserting a theorem. I already switched my document to ams-seq, I read around the wiki, etc, but simply I can't find out how to insert a theorem/example/whatever environment to a LyX file. I am a long time LaTeX user, so ERT would work, but I would like to avoid it in order to learn LyX properly. I would like to know at least the click this many, then that way, but it would be better if it would come together with a shortcut. I would like to know as well, what is the lightest document class that is sufficient for a theorem. (I prefer the modularity of LaTeX a lot, and don't want to use ams-seq all the time.) Is it possible to include layouts at runtime, like packages? (runtime = I mean defined in the document's properties.) If yes what should I include? (I think ams-seq.inc would suffice, but don't know.) Thanks for your help! Viktor
