I think we should do nothing in case of ERT, that's why I asked. ERT users should embrace the construct by themselves (I might as well intentionally insert a "]" to do something weird. In any case, LyX should not try to be clever if ERT is involved. In the other cases, I think the respective inset should handle the embracing. There's a (currently private) method Text::inDescriptionItem that can be used to detect whether we are in an item. Jürgen
