Hi Lars,

I agree...

Mmh, this is something I didn´t consider - I will test it and see how it looks
like.

What is "ert"? A package?
Anyway (thanks to a hint from Ingo Kloecker), I´m now using the "Lyx-Code"
environment for those small code pieces. (I think it should be pointed out
somewhere that "Lyx-Code" is actually for source code - I always thought it was
something similar to the "Latex" Environment..., i.e. something that does
anything to the document "internally")

That´s a good hint, and I already tried this. However,I stumbled upon something
strange: I used the example you sent with your mail and added another element to
the title page, approximately like this:
\flushright{Name of university\\Name of faculty}
It basically looks okay, but the two lines are not evenly aligned! That is,
they´re not right-justified correctly (one of the lines is off by about the
width of a single character).
What might be wrong with that?

Okay... that´s what I feared. <sigh> Well, I think I´ll do it manually - the
lists aren´t too long, fortunately.

Ah, thanks. That did it!

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it...
