Re: technical documents
Thanks for the tip. However, I have some questions. Using Insert-Program Listing is great if you only need one or two listings but keeping consistency throughout a large document is a pain. So I decided to try and create a new layout using the listings package, but I'm getting some unwanted newlines in my output. I have this in my layout file: Style CodeBlock LatexType Environment LatexName lstlisting OptionalArgs0 InTitle 0 Margin Static NextNoIndent0 ParIndent Newline 0 PassThru1 FreeSpacing 1 End (I added the Newline, PassThru, and FreeSpacing options as experimentation to try to get the spurious newlines eaten, to no effect but I left them in this listing in the interest of full disclosure ;) If I give input in lyx (using the CodeBlock environment above) of: some line of code 1 some line of code 2 some line of code 3 I get output such as: some line of code 1 some line of code 2 some line of code 3 However, when I use the Insert-Program Listing option, it generates the exact same latex code as my environment, except that I don't get all the extra newlines. So my question is how do I get LyX to not pass those extra newlines and behave with the environment similar to the Inset?

technical documents
Greetings all! I'm fairly new to LyX, but I've heard lots of great things about it. I'm wanting to start using LyX to write all my technical documents but I have a few questions. First these are the features that I'm really interested in (or alternatives/compromises to these): Ability to have short code/command examples in-line with normal text, preferably set off with a monospaced font. Ability to have longer code/command examples in a verbatim environment (possible surrounded by a box and a shaded background) Ability to have longer code/command examples labled and indexed (similar to figures and tables) If I have to I'll create my own layout/style to do these but before I went down that long road I wanted to query the community to see what other people may be using, or if someone had already done some/all of this and I just haven't been able to find it. Any guidance/advice is welcome and appreciated! Thanks, Michael
