LyX ⇒ Enumerate (numbering) problem

[hazza96]

I am using the book class in my document and I want to do the following:

1. First numbered line

• Dot point 1
• Dot point 2

2. Second numbered line

• Dot point here
• Another dot point

What I get instead is:
1. First numbered line

• Dot point 1
• Dot point 2

1. Second numbered line

• Dot point here
• Another dot point

How do you stop Lyx from restarting the numbering from no1 again?

Hi hazza96,

welcome to the LaTeX Community board!
Those environments need to be nested. It is described in the LyX User's Guide, here is a version where you could look at 3.4 Nesting Environments.

Thanks for the welcome and the information, I am writing a book on GIMP that will be released for free. This is the first time I have ever used LyX for a real project. I had a play with it once when I was investigating what a friend of mine could use to write his movie script.

I kept LyX in mind and am now just learning my way around it. I will print and read through that users guide to help me.

BTW You can see my work in progress here.
