Dear LyX Users, im writing my phd thesis with lyx and have the following question regarding the use of quotes and its paragraph styles for a quote. I want to have a quoted sentence within a text block which is standard text. I reformatted the quote environment that the quote has no breaks and is italic):
preamble: \renewenvironment{quote}% {\noindent\it}% {} So it works beside of a double blank between the standard text and the beginning of the italic quote environment. In Lyx text representation i have a first linebreak after "This" This is part of my text and now \begin{quote} {}``{[}...{]} comes the quote from a book and the cite stuff may not be part of the quote and not italic'' \end{quote} \cite[S. 39]{Liggesmeyer.2009}. end a 2nd linebreak after the end of the quote before the cite. (Because i need to select the quote as quote paragraph style) So in lyx its not very nice formatted. So my Questions: 1. How do i get rid of the double blank between the normal text and the beginning of the italic quote (is my renewenvironment not correct?) 2. Is there a possibility to get something like a "emph Button" for the quote, so that it is still part of the text block, and not separated by 2 line breaks before and behind of it? Thanks in advance!
