Separate Paragraphs with both Indentation and vertical Space

Post by MarkH748 »

Hi guys,

I'm a new LyX user and was wondering if is possible to separate paragraphs with both Indentation and Vertical Spacing? In Document Settings -> Text Layout I can only select one and then the other is greyed out. I could do "\setlength{\parindent}{1.2cm}" for each new paragraph but that could get tedious.

Anyone know a better way?

Many thanks,

Mark

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

This is typographical nonsense. And LyX knows about that. May I ask you why you want to do that? Is it just a personal preference?


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thanks for the reply. Yeah it's just personal preference. I like having an indent but don't like the paragraphs being on top of each other. Actually putting in just one line of "\setlength{\parindent}{1.2cm}" at the start seems to have done it for me so I don't need to put it at the start of every paragraph like I thought! Sorry, I'm only using Lyx a few days!
