The reference to embedded LaTeX within a document being written with LyX as "Evil Red Text (ERT)" has bothered me from the first time I saw it. Since LyX is a GUI front end to LaTeX I fail to see how there's anything "evil" about LaTeX. More to the point, looking at how many requests for help

You can use the enumitem package/module, see here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/Enumitem If for example you don't want extra space between bullets you can use the option nolistsep. You can also set specific list separation.

When I first started learning LyX (what -- about 10 years ago?), I very much liked the name 'Evil Red Text'. It showed that the developers had a sense of humor, and the professionality of the manuals and the program itself was in no way impacted (in my mind) with the 'ERT'. A colleague of mine h
