paragraph groups, empty lines

[Vinay Ramnath]

Hi LyX users,

in "Rapportagetechniek" (reporting technique, ISBN 90-01-29137-6) they tell me to group coherent paragraphs. Some paragraphs have more to do with another than others. Those you have to group, that is, use no empty space between them, but ident each new paragraph in that group. You separate those from others with empty space and of course the new line after this empty space had no ident.

Currently, I can choose to either have an empty line every time I press enter, or I have an ident every new line and of course no empty line, but I can not get both in the same document without adding a header.
Does LaTeX not support the kind of typesetting they taught me, or can I modify something in LyX? What I would like to do, is to be able to give a double enter, which should give me a empty line, but currently does the same as giving only one enter.

I don't know for sure, but I suppose KLyX did do this. I'm not sure however, 'cause I don't have it anymore. Now, I use LyX 1.2.1 under SuSE 8.0 with the teTeX package that came with SuSE.

Thanks a lot,
Vinay
