Dear all
Is there a reason for using 'box' instead of 'box (minipage)' in
Insert? My problem with current arrangement is that it is unintuitive.
When I first found about *minipage* functionality and needed to use it
in LyX, I needed a good deal of searching before understanding that
'box' was offering the 'minipage' functionality.
I have had the same problem. I think the reason it is not "box
(minipage)", though, is that there
are a lot of different kinds of boxes. Perhaps what we should have,
therefore, is a box sub-menu,
that would list the various choices.
Yes, please.
(Keep the ability to change the box type in the box context menu, so that
existing boxes can still be change its type.)
Done.
Now: Should the menu entry itself say something like "Box (Minipage)"?
People who know a bit of LaTeX (like me) might have a hard time figuring
out where this is, just as Liviu said. Downside: It's a string change,
and maybe it would confuse newcomers. But what about "Text Box", instead
of just "Box"? I don't find "Box" very clear.
