Hi all
I've had a go at creating a module. Even though I don't know what I'm doing, I
seem to have got something that nearly works. The purpose of the module is to

Hi guys
What is the current thinking on the best way to create a shaded text box that
the main body text will wrap around? I'm trying to create something similar to
the "tip boxes" that you see in some books. Preferably I'd like the boxes to
automatically break if they hit the end of the page.

Is there a way of tying two paragraphs together in Lyx? That is, assuring that
