Sometimes (but not too often), I want to start an environment in the middle of a line.
In LaTeX, it seems to work fine, although I don't know if this is considered bad practice. But in LyX, we can only start an environment at the beginning of a paragraph I believe. Attached is an example in LyX that uses ERT. I haven't actually implemented this environment in LyX yet (I'm still planning to). Sometimes I can use the \uncover command, but other times I prefer an environment. I also attach an example .tex file with an environment that is implemented in LyX (block). I attach the example as a .tex file (example-block.tex), and the imported .lyx file (example-block-imported.23.lyx). LyX makes a paragraph break and then nests the environment. This causes a linebreak that I don't want in the corresponding PDF. Am I missing a way to accomplish this in LyX without ERT? Are there common use cases for wanting to start an environment in the middle of a line? If we did want to allow this operation in LyX, I wonder if we could make a "visual-only line-break" that is a no-op LaTeX. i.e., LyX would paint it as a line break but would not output a line break to LaTeX. We would have to think of a way to show this "just kidding line break" visually. But would there be support for this? Scott
