Title: RE: Standard indent in description environment?
I suggest that you use the list environment instead and include in ERT the following staement right before the list:
\setlength{2 in}
you can then play with the length to suit your needs

Hi,
I would like output from a set of descriptions to look like this:-
- -a This switch is the shortest;
- --longer This switch is longer, but the description starts at the
same indentation as the previous one;
- --123 Same with this one.
Rather than:-
- -a This switch is the shortest;
- --longer This switch is longer, the description no longer starts at the
same indentation as the previous one;
- --123 Same with this one;
Is there an easy way to do this other than using a borderless table? Using a
table seems to defeat the whole elegant concept of using LyX!

I have tried this before, but it does not solve the problem: it displaces
both columns by the same amount of space, not only the second column of the
list.
I am afraid I did not make myself clear enaugh: I did not mean the paragraph
indentation that can be found in the "more" tab, but what in German ist
called "Titelbreite" ("width of title"), a textfield in the first
paragraph-layout popup.
