You believe Theorems should also be insets, but I disagree. I suggested this, as both slides and Theorems suffer from LyX's merging of adjacent paragraphs into one environment. After your explanation, I would prefer different solutions to thise problem for different environments: insets for "Containers" and "OneParagraphEnvironments" for styles like Theorem. ... > Would it make sense for us to do the following?: > * Open a new feature request to reimplement slides as insets There is already a feature request for obsoleting a Style with an Inset. > * Open a new feature request to reimplement Separator as a > (invisible?) character, which is created when the user either selects > it from the insert menu, or presses 'Enter' at the beginning of a > paragraph which is inside of, but not at the beginning of, a > 'separable' environment I hope there will be a solution for this once all alternatives are considered. > * Continue to debate whether or not Theorem should be an inset? You convinced me already. Günter
