This has probably been discussed before, although I don't quite recall the suggestion I'm about to make.
As most LyXers, I use a short space (C-Space) as a substitute for spaces in the title of descriptions in LyX. As many, I take this to be not the most beautiful of hacks. I was wondering if the following would not be a better solution: telling LyX, MarkDown-style, that whatever goes into the first, outermost pair of brackets in a definition is its title. One would write: (Title) This is blah. If one needs brackets in the title, she should write: ((Title in Brackets)) Blah. This would provide cleaner .tex files. If a description does not start with a bracketed title, LyX would complain. What do you guys think? Manolo --
