New Paragraph after 'quote' Environment

Post by tonygonz »

Using Lyx 2.0, I'm having a problem creating a new paragraph after a quote/quotation.

The first line of a Standard paragraph comes immediately after the \end{quote}, making the paragraph flush left instead of indented. Hard returns to force an empty line after the \end{quote} are overruled by LyX.

So far, the only workaround I've found is to insert a thin space, etc., on the line following the quotation, but that's a bit of a kludge. Am I doing something wrong?

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Select the text and then chose subparagraph.

Unfortunately that doesn't work, as the entire paragraph becomes indented. I want a first line indent, as with a normal new paragraph.

Muwaha, finally figured out what I needed:
Set the first blank line after the quote/quotation to the "--- Separate Environment ---" environment.
