I mean the LyX workarea. If you select spaced paragraphs in the master and the option to chose the master params is selected, our WYSIWYM interface should display spaced paragraphs. > >> I thought about this, and in a way it would be easy: Buffer::params() > >> just has to return masterBuffer->params().

I would add a two radio buttons to the document settings dialog: () use master settings () child specific settings If the former is activated, the document inherits the master params and the dialog writes to those, if the latter is selected, it uses the child settings. Of course, this setting needs to be stored in the child. Jürgen
