LyX ⇒ beamer | Insert the red vertical Line

[EigenGoofy]

Hello, all!

As the attachment shows, how do I insert the red vertical line before "1." under the Block environment please? Thank you!

Are you familiar with PSTricks? You could try using the \psbrace command, e.g.,

Code: Select all

\begin{pspicture}(8,2.5) 
\psbrace[nodesepA=-10pt,nodesepB=15pt](8,2)(8,4){\fbox{Text}} 
\psbrace[ref=Ct,rot=90,nodesepA=5pt,linewidth=0.5pt](8,4.4)(8,8){$D(0)+0$}
\end{pspicture

Hi, coachbennett1981!

Sorry, I am not familiar with PSTricks. I believe that there is a very easy way write that vertical line by just clicking somewhere in LyX. But I don't know where. Thanks!

This vertical line you see is used to nest stuff inside the block environment.
If what you want is to insert contents inside the block environment, all you have to do is to type alt+shift+right to insert them inside the block or alt+shift+right to take them away from the block environment.

Did I understand right or what you want is actually to print this big [ on the compiled document?

Just correcting, you can type alt+shift+left to "nest" materials inside a block environment of beamer or alt+shift+left to "unnest" contents of the block environment.

Just as an example, you would have in LaTeX

Code: Select all

\begin{block}{Title of the block}
Contents of the block
\begin{enumerate}
\item item 1
\item item 2
\item item 3
\end{enumerate}
\end{environment}

in LyX, you would have
block: ERT[{Title of the block}]
[ contents of the block
[- item 1
[- item 2
[- item 3

In the first line where you have the block environment (select it in the paragraph environment box), you insert a LaTeX code (ctrl+L). Then you can insert for example a list environment, type all the contents of the list, then select the whole list and type alt+shift+right to nest it inside the block environment.

Thank you very much, hm_cavalcanti! The way you suggest works in LyX!
