As far as I see, the paragraph keeps the same in the last alpha6
release. Could I be of any help to
clarify this text?
I removed now the second sentence since 90% of the LyX users won't
understand the difference between a LaTeX-command and LaTeX-environment.
Don't you think it is worth to introduce this concept to LyX users? I
think that many people, like me, are using LyX not only as WYSIWYM
editor, but also as an entry point to the LaTeX ecosystem. I've found
this document quite useful to better understand what are we speaking
about...

Another solution is to defined a new command that sets up the box
for you. Then you would have to
insert this command as TeX-code instead of a box. I can define such
a command for you, but you
need to decide what box you want to have. If you made this decision,
send me a LyX file with your
box and I'll have a look.
I don't want anything fancy. Simply, something like that:

Box has the same width as the text column and it is centred with it.
Here the source file...
http://ebiotic.net/bin/download/ICT/LyXBox/dummyTextMargins.lyx
In your example the box has a width of only 95% not 100%. However, I
defined a command for your box in the preamble of the attached
document. You can insert then your custom box by inserting the
TeX-code command \mybox as I have shown in the example.
Great! Thank you so much. I've learnt a lot with this example. In
general, I must thank all the people answering here. You always provide
accurate and clear answers!
What I don't understand here is the "however". Please, what do you mean?
I see {0.95\columnwidth}, so I guess this is the parameter I must tweak
to reach this result.
Simply: a great universe of possibilities! Thanks!
BTW: I get two errors when opening the document the first time after
saving it from your email:
Document header error
Unknown token: \use_refstyle \use_refstyle
Document header error
Unknown token: 0 0
They disappear once I locally save the document.
Please, where these errors come from? Thanks!
The color of the box is set in the document settings.
regards Uwe
All the best,
Ricardo
